Donalds Wut, die aus Angst, Unsicherheit und tatsächlichem reinen Ärger entsteht, ist unvermittelt und trifft auch die Leserin/ den Leser. Der Junge ist klug und er will nicht sterben. Die Eltern, denen zumindest ich biografisch und altersmäßig näher stehe, tun einem einfach unendlich leid. Die „Comic“-Teile sind zumindest für mich gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ich musste mich ein wenig einlesen, aber dann hat es mir wirklich gefallen und, je länger es voranschritt, immer mehr gepackt. (  ) Wassilissa | Dec 10, 2020 | Fredo68 | May 14, 2020 | Donald has cancer. Terminal cancer. And he’s just fourteen years old. He mostly copes with drawing a comic book, filled with evil doctors and bigbreasted vamps, refusing to confront reality. So his parents bring in psychologist Adrian King who tries to crack Donald’s shell. King also struggles with getting through to Donald, at least at first, since Donald is mostly occupied with really wanting to have sex at least once before he dies. But then King hatches a slightly crazy plan. Death of a Superhero is a book for boys, in the worst sense. And I’m not saying that because it’s a book that features comic talk and superheroes, I’m saying that because it plainly just doesn’t care for the women in it. And that made it really hard to read for me. Read more on my blog: http://kalafudra.com/2015/09/04/death-of-a-superhero-anthony-mccarten/ (  ) kalafudra | Sep 14, 2015 |  ) khim | Sep 8, 2008 |
 Fade in ... Donald Delpe. Fourteen years old. A skinny kid, shoulders as meatless as coat-hangers. Queer-looking. No eyebrows, no hair. Face like a peeled potato." Meet our hero, a bright teenager living in Wellington, with quite a lot going for him except ... Donald and an artillery of drugs are locked in a savage fight against cancer. Which sounds like a hopeless start to a narrative, but Donald is an engaging, credible character — and this is one of the funniest, saddest novels I have read for many months. It is also written in a completely original format, which flows effortlessly. McCarten combines a straight novelistic format with a scripted text, and the action takes place in three acts. Like a play, when a character speaks, their name precedes the dialogue, which means McCarten can skip between the thoughts of each character with ease. The scene-setting devices — example: "Int (interior). Oncology Ward/ Hospital. Day" makes the work highly visual. There is an extra element. Because Donald is an imaginative teenager, and because he has to deal with cancer and potentially death, when the going gets tough he fades the people around him — family, doctors, nurses — into cartoon characters....

Now a motion picture starring Andy Serkis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster Donald Delpe is a troubled teenager. Not only is he a 'terrible teen' by default, as obsessed with sex, music, videogames and drugs as the rest of his gang, but he is also suffering from a life-threatening form of leukaemia, which makes him an even more difficult boy, both for his parents and his teachers. Escaping into his own comic-book realm of immortal superheroes, ruthless villains and sex-crazed vamps, he repeatedly dashes his family's hopes by refusing to fight the battles facing him in the real world. As famous psychologist Dr King is brought in to help, a glimmer of hope is rekindled. But will the doctor break the rules, betray the parents' trust and risk everything to help Donald achieve his greatest wish? Or will Donald be the one to save the doctor? Inspired by real events, Death of a Superhero is a brilliantly original fusion of novel, comic book and film script; a celebration of the transience of life, the eternal difficulty of love and a hilarious riff on our 21st-century infatuation with movies and the superhero solution.

Very creative in the way it mixes comics, movie script and narrative. Fast-paced, funny and emotional. (
