The Villain Who Forgot to Be Bad

By: Eduardo Loor

Narrated by: Samantha Smith

"The Villain Who Forgot to Be Bad" is a comedy full of absurd situations and endearing characters that show us that the line between good and evil can be funnier than we think. Vicente, a villain in training, grows up dreaming of instilling terror, but his life is full of comic failures: his malevolent laugh sounds tender, his plans always fail and his "dark" companion is a fish called Neptune. Through encounters with other equally unfortunate "villains", failed attempts at evil and ridiculous situations, Vicente discovers that, perhaps, being feared is not as important as making people laugh.

With sharp humor and witty narrative, the book leads us to question the clichés of villains and reminds us that, sometimes, the best thing we can do is laugh at ourselves. Perfect for young and old who enjoy comedy, unpredictable stories and characters who turn their failures into an unforgettable show.
