“Amazing. This book went by way too quickly for me. I loved the 2-3 page chapters which sped the book along nicely, moving from one climactic event to the next with effortless ease. James Patterson has created a likable series protagonist in Daniel X, a boy imbued with otherworldly powers and a sharp wit. From his inescapable ordinariness to his crush on a girl he can create with his mind, Daniel is a character that one can easily relate to, and cheer for. With a knack for finding danger in all the wrong places, Daniel is sure to have way too much on his hands at any given moment. A great read, a remarkable start to a series, and a step in the right direction for Mr. Patterson, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors; as a side note, it's a shame he probably wasn't the one who put pen to paper to craft this fine work of young adult fiction, and he probably doesn't regret it--too bad.”
