Everyone's favourite Ant-Man, Scott Lang, shares his struggles and triumphs from being an ex-con unable to find work to joining the Avengers and quite literally saving the world from Thanos and the Blip!
Publication Date UK - 30th Sept

📖 As a lifelong passionate @marvelstudios fan, getting to read an ARC copy of this book has been a dream and I'm so appreciative of all the support from this Bookstagram community!

📖 Hilarious, heartfelt and exactly what you would expect from a book written by Scott Lang a.k.a Ant-Man.

📖 Actually quite inspirational throughout but with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour characteristic of the character. I could his exact tone of voice in my mind as I was reading and I think it would make an awesome audiobook!

📖 Loved the FAAMQs (Frequently Asked Ant-Man Questions) - they broke up the chapters delightfully.

📖 It made me emotional reading about the battle with Thanos and Iron Man's sacrifice. Heartbreaking to watch, tear-inducing to read!

💫 Thank you to Marvel, Igloo Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It made my smile souch when I heard this was actually going to be a physical release! Very much on the jokey side but at a shorter length (making it much more accessible), this is one for all the MCU fans out there.

I am a huge marvel fan, and have watched every marvel production to date, Including the new Ant-Man film.
This book is a great, fun, short read that any marvel or Ant-Man fan will thoroughly enjoy reading. With many light hearted moments, it is like having a chat with Scott Lang himself.
There are many cannon answers to questions throughout the book.
I very much enjoyed reading this.

The book I'd been waiting to read since watching 'Quantumania' earlier in the year! 'Scott's' account is just as funny as you would expect and, while a little on the jokey side, the short length of the book suits the subject matter well - perfect to enjoy in a single sitting before or after a rewatch!

Thank you to Igloo Books and NetGalley for this early access copy.

Perfect for fans of MCU but mainly Ant Mans fans, especially those who have seen Ant Man and the Wasp. Great tie in to go with the fictional memoir explained in the film. The cover is great, it's always a positive experience to see Paul Rudd.

If you’ve seen the film Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, you’ll have heard the character of Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, reading extracts from his memoir, Look Out for the Little Guy. This is your chance to read the rest of the book.

We’re essentially treated to a walk-through of the first two Ant Man Films, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: End Game from the point of the view of Scott Lang. Don’t expect any groundbreaking revelations, but this is an entertaining enough read.

A fun addition to the collection of any Marvel Fan.

Thank you to NetGalley and Igloo Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC of 'Look Out for the little guy!' By Scott Lang.

'Look Out For The Little Guy!' Is essentially a memoir by one of our favourite Marvel superheroes - Antman aka Scott Lang. I loved this lighthearted memoir that explains him and his story. I'll be honest, I still haven't watched Quantamania yet even though it came out on my birthday so I am lacking the big context of the movie but honestly, you don't need to watch the newest movie to read this.

A really comical read, perfectly taking on the tone of beloved Marvel character, Scott Lang.

Scott takes us on a journey of his origin story, learning to be the hero his daughter needs, and his adventures with the Avengers. The writing here is so true to character, you wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel told you Paul Rudd had written it all himself!

This is such a fun little book to have on your shelf as a Marvel fan in general, and a fun conversation starter for those unfamiliar with the hero.

I was genuinely surprised to find this absurdly charming! Engaging voice and a fun recap of the film saga for anyone looking for a little more MCU in their life.

It had to happen, in fact I’m surprised it wasn’t published earlier. Scott Lang’s actions in the past have tiptoed on both sides of the law. His memoir is an amusing yarn covering his experience as a criminal with a heart of gold, the landmark moments in recent Avengers history and his small (and large) place in them.

On the hero side, it’s perfect for Marvel fans who can’t get enough of the MCU. It’s a clever way to break the fourth wall. With it’s tongue is firmly in it’s cheek, including fun panels with FAQ’s that will make you chuckle Slightly villainous is the retail price as I think it’s too high for the content as it’s not a long book and has some larger than necessary photos.

Overall, it’s a pleasant way to spend some time in a meta kinda way with a superhero.

At first I feared this was going to be one of those disappointing reads where you really like a celebrity, get the impression they'd be fun company, but when you pick up their memoir it's too busy trying to be inspirational to let them be themselves. Possibly because - scandalous suggestion, I know - the person whose name and face are on the cover has not in fact written the book as such, and their ghost is so used to churning these things out that they've reskinned the same crappy template they use for the other no-marks. Fortunately, as I got into the rhythm of it, that dropped away. Yes, it's frequently cheesy, sometimes even irritating in an affable sort of way, but that's Scott Lang, isn't it? Right down to little annoyances like the overuse of "scare quotes", and always referring to Super Heroes rather than any of the less typographically irksome alternatives, which seems like exactly the sort of thing he would do. Sure, there are still things I would have preferred otherwise - there's far too much on the underwhelming 'Civil War' and not nearly enough Luis - but on the whole it's an entertaining read. Although I suspect the personality might come through a lot better in an audiobook version, and if Lang is too busy saving the world to record one, I'm told the actor Paul Rudd does an excellent impression of him.

Look Out for the Little Guy is a novel about Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, from the Marvel comics/movies. What is unique and fun about this book is that the author writes as though they were Scott Lang themselves, and the book is a sort of mock-autobiography, which is quite unusual but really worked well! I loved finding out what ‘Ant-Man’ had been thinking during certain scenes in the movies he was in, and what happened surrounding these events. It was a great book and featured frequently asked questions sections, photographs of the different characters, and the occasional note from another person, for example, Scott’s daughter, with a story about her dad. I would definitely recommend this to any fans of Marvel/Avengers/Ant-Man or simply anyone interested in a fun superhero story which is made to seem like a hero’s autobiography.

This is a strange one to review. There is a history of 'fictional autobiographies', and 'fictional self help books' (Always Sunny in Philadelphia did it particularly well). This 'autobiography' was featured briefly in one of the character's Marvel movies and I thought could potentially be amusing.
Having read it, I'm not quite sure where to place it - the tags on Amazon classify it as satire/ Lawyers & Criminals Humour/ Film and Television tie in.
Is it intended as a young reader's book? I'd have said so based on the publisher and much of the writing style.
But there are also 'self-help/ realisation' elements that seem out of wack with this.
Is it for Marvel fans? Well, yes - clearly. But for a Marvel fan interested enough to seek out a character's autobiography there is a lot of stuff in here that is a basic recap of things they've already seen in the various films. (There's an extended piece on the whole Blip/ Thanos fight which is written like someone doing fan fiction commentary while watching the scenes). Because it's written as a 'genuine' autobiography at the request of the other Avengers it's giving 'behind the scenes stuff' to readers in a world where the movies don't exist. But of course in the real world (excuse Multiverse jokes), any reader of this book is likely to have seen them, and would, I have thought, be sitting thinking, "I know all this...".
There's a couple of amusing lines (I smiled at the still from one of the movies which is captioned with something along the lines of Hank Pym attached cameras to some of them to record meetings.' to get over the fact that no, it's just a movie still)
If this is aimed at reluctant readers who have an interest in the MCU then fair play and good luck with it. But then, why have the 'relationship self help' stuff in there?
I found the intention and delivery of this book vaguely amusing as a quick read, but I genuinely don't understand WHO it is aimed at. Other reviewers seem to have enjoyed it looking at the comments on Netgalley so maybe this is just my misunderstanding of what to actually expect from the book.
Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this.

A fun read perfect for all fans of the MCU. This gives that little more insight into the character and I loved seeing the links between the stories.

When watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the film where this book is first mentioned, I thought to myself 'oh, that would be fun to be able to read that' and lo and behold, we are now here: I've read it, and it was fun.

I enjoyed being able to dive more in to Scott's psyche and seeing the 'behind the scenes' on certain events, and his feelings of them. I got overwhelmed with tears especially in the scenes where he reminisces about Natasha Romanov, aka Black Widow.

However, and I know this is a 'memoir', meaning they go over peoples memories, this one felt way too much of a recap of the Infinity Saga. Good for people who may be behind/not watched everything, but a bit tedious for me who has watched it all. It just felt like it was going over the events in a sterile way, something I could expect to read by googling '[insert mcu film name] recap' so that was a bit of a shame. While there were parts where Scott warned the reader of this, because he 'wasn't there' I found the writing of the events flat, and I think the memoir could've spent time focusing somewhere else.

Also, I know the MCU style of humour has been under criticism for a while (most of the time with good reason, for example the fat Thor jokes in Endgame were completely awful and I don't know why the Russo's thought that was funny), more so recently with the latest films. However, for the most part, I do find the films funny (not when it's like the example I've given). But in this book, without the Paul Rudd wit, it just wasn't funny? I barely found this book humorous. I think this perhaps could work better as an audiobook, especially if narrated by Rudd, to really get the jokes across.

Unexpectedly, this book had some really lovely messages for the reader - about cherishing time, making the most of life . . . and to just be a good, and kind person. It was nice to read.

All in all, this was an interesting read and I, for the most part, enjoyed it.

Look Out For The Little Guy - Ant-Man's revealing memoir. Not quite sure what I expected, but this book was a vague recap of the MCU films told in Scott Lang's amusing and irreverent style, with a little bit of life advice thrown in. Overall a fun, short read, although the ending dragged a bit.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Ok one of my favourite bits of Quantomania was Scott Lang – AKA Ant-Man, listening to the audiobook – which he narrated – of his own biographical work. So I was really excited to see this. The book did not disappoint (I really hope there’s an audio version!). It was fun and amusing, and reinforced the light hearted con-man turned superhero as one of my favourite Marvel superheroes. Really enjoyable slightly tongue in cheek entertainment.

The book you didn’t know you needed! But you do. Seriously. Read it! You will not be prepared for the knowledge and truth bombs that our eminent and most favourite Ant guy will bestow upon you.

‘Look out for the little guy’ is written so well with a great balance of humour and honestly thought provoking introspection. Scott Lang reminisces on his time in prison and his exploits with VistaCorp fighting the good fight but going down for the crime. To his regrets with Cassie and just little things like yano, saving the world.

And of course his time with the avengers. Be prepared for some behind the scenes sneaks to some of the epic kickass adventures we’ve all heard about and watched on TV. He brings his own perspective to a lot of his encounters (such as what it’s like to be body slammed by Black Widow) and some really touching tributes to those lost along the way. I was not expecting for this book to hit me all in the feels.

Who would have thought it, Scott Lang, big small guy who talks to ants and occasionally having a hand in saving the world, writing a book that may or may not blow your mind. I loved it and enjoyed every single page.

It took me a minute to be like is this Paul Rudd? I not super informed on the Avengers, but I know many people are and I am beyond excited to share this one with readers, I will be adding much more thoughts here soon!
