Book Reviews of The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

Book Review: Don't Bother
Summary: 1 Stars

There are so many books worth your time and effort that I wouldn't bother with this one.

I've read many other James Patterson novels and enjoyed them. As a middle school teacher, I've read a lot of novels for teens and young adults because I'm always trying to find something new to share with my students.

I checked this book out of the library hoping to find just such a story. Unfortunately, it was really hard for me to get through. Many aspects of the story leave you wanting a real explanation as to what is going on. The narrator tends to drone on and his school experience seems contrived. His interactions with other "teens" read like a cheesy horror movie. In my opinion, it was as well thought out as any first draft my 6th graders write. It seems as though Patterson had a random plot generator and threw everything together as it came up.

It isn't worth the paper it's paper printed on.

Summary of The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells--the greatest power is the power to create.
Daniel X has that power.

Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond what anyone's imagining.

From the day that his parents were brutally murdered before of his very eyes, Daniel has used his unique gifts to hunt down their assassin. Finally, with the help of The List, bequeathed to him in his parents' dying breath, he is closing in on the killer.

Now, on his own, he vows to take on his father's mission--and to take vengeance in the process.
