Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans
My [rating: 4]
(Click here to read this review on Goodreads.)
As strange as this may sound, this book was a recommendation from my parents, who are already reading the second book. I decided since I take recommendations from complete strangers (i.e. A Confederacy of Dunces) I should consider reading a recommendation from my parents 🙂
I’m glad I did because I really enjoyed this book. It kind of has an Avengers, comic book feel to the story. It’s entertaining. I enjoyed how most of the book is actually told from the first person, which is the book’s hero, Michael Vey. I also like that the main characters of the story are young adults, in their teens, who have to struggle not only with high school, social issues, but resisting the temptation of using their powers publicly.
If you need a pretty cool story, I would recommend this book. It’s a pretty quick read. I do plan on reading the second book, which is already available.
