“Entertaining American teenage novel.
A evil man is body parts to keep himself alive, also to bring his beloved sister back to life.
And he would have done it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.

“Another Booker long listed title…I’m giving up on literature if there is no plot or point!
Based in San Paulo, Brazil. A poor kid is picked up and given the chance of high living, of course he never really fits in.
Nothing happened and I don’t care.
I really do need a good book soon!

“I’m guessing this will a series of books. Features four kids who stumble across a website that allows them to choose super hero abilities.
There must be better teens books than this, a weak story line and far too obvious for any age.

Billed as a great book in the USA so I gave it the whole book thinking it would get better. I shouldn’t have bothered.
I really didn’t get it ? Was the main character mentally ill, or was it an American attempt to write something like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime? If so it failed miserably.

Score 3/10
