Best part of story, including ending:
What I liked about this story was that Superman realized that his love for Lois Lane will help him do good for the world. Even though she loved Superman and not Clark, Clark used his love for her to move on.
Best scene in story:
My favorite part of the book was when Lex Luther explains to Superman that he is a great rival. I loved this part because it was great to see dialogue between the superhero and the villain.
Opinion about the main character:
What I liked most about Superman Clark Kent was that he was able to keep his identity a secret. Most people would not be able to hold something like that in, especially when the girl you love loves your secret side.
