Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25
By: Richard Paul Evans
My name is Michael Vey, and the story I'm about to tell you is strange. Very strange. It's my story. To everyone at Meridian High School, Michael Vey is an ordinary fourteen-year-old. In fact, the only thing that seems to set him apart is the fact that he has Tourette's syndrome. But Michael is anything but ordinary. Michael has special powers. Electric powers. Michael thinks he's unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor also has special powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up this way, but their investigation brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric children – and through them the world. Michael will have to rely on his wits, powers, and friends if he's to survive.
My Opinionated Voice
THIS BOOK WAS EPIC. Okay- so here's the deal... Yes, I must admit, while reading I can be VERY picky when it comes to grammar and those pesky little things called run on sentences which can sneek up on even the best of us, and yes. I did find a LOT of them in this book... But after I managed to ignore the issues with his writing style and just focus in on the actually story- and can honestly say I was hooked. Being a HUGE comic-book geek I'm always open to the idea of real-life superheros (HINT: next weeks book, SAVVY!!!) and this book was TOTALLY up my alley! But seriously, I really WOULD suggest this book to just about anybody, so why not! Just give it a chance, okay guys?
