Debonair is actually a very shy man who used to be rich, but now isn't.

The other thing I totally hated about this book is how it read like a 13 year old boy's fantasy. Also, everyone seemed to be wealthy the book and the city just surreal in a way that put me off. She comes across as a controlling mother hen who pouts when she doesn't get her way. Also, I found Bella slightly annoying to be honest. It was just so over the top and dramatic- even the language used words like ubervillain are thrown around like confetti. Maybe that wouldn't have bothered me if I had realized it going in - but more than likely I just would have passed on the book. The biggest thing that annoyed me is how it felt like I was reading a cartoon. However, the brief bits of humor do not outweigh the things I didn't like about the book. This book was occasionally funny, although I am not sure if I was laughing at its awfulness or because it was actually funny. The problem is Debonair is a notorious playboy and a thief who sometimes helps people. Bella just wants to live a normal life and ignore everything related to superheros and ubervillains, which proves difficult, especially when she meets the sometimes hero Debonair. Her mother died when she was little, and her father died fighting an ubervillain a year or so ago. Bella has the gift of luck, but she doesn't feel very lucky. It seems most of Bella's family and friends are superheros each with their own special ability.

Apparently, Bigtime is a stereotypical cartoon city - with superheros and ubervillains. Bella is a member of one of the very wealthy families in Bigtime (yes, the city's name is Bigtime- if you decide not to read the book based on that alone I don't blame you).
