I enjoyed this book greatly. Its a thriller. When I started reading I really could not set it down and I am not a big reader. The book is a little confusing for awhile until you get use to the style. The narrator in the book is Daniel and he will begin telling about something and you are not quite sure what he is talking about but he soon explains himself. I loved the action of the story. Super powers have always intrigued me. The book makes you want to jump right in there and fight off evil aliens. The story puts many emotions into your mind as Daniel goes through the life of a teenager. The story makes you want to jump right in there and get vengeance for what is right. I greatly enjoyed the book and I recommend it to anyone who wants an out of this world action fiction book. It is a great fun read!
