I couldn't put this book down. I first heard about this book through Barnes & Noble (one of my dearest friends) while I was searching through the "coming soon" section. The synopsis sounded like a book that I just absolutely had to have. However, I still waited because cash flow is a bit on the low side and hardbacks are expensive. Well, at least over time. I kept thinking about this book and how much I though I would like to read it, and then I looked at the author. As many of you probably know, I have a tendency to research every book I buy. I don't want to invest in my own copy if it's not something I'll enjoy. I found it very unfortunate that the author's parents would name him Pittacus Lore. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it must be a pseudonym. And what did I find out? It is! Not only is it a false name but the author is the person who wrote my books on how to write books. That was the breaking point. The next day I caved and bought the book. From the very first page there was no disappointment to be had. It kept me reading and it was seldom seen out of my hand (unless I was watching LOST). If you are looking for an exciting young adult novel that has a new twist on superheroes pick this one up.
