Book Blog #95: The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans

Title: The Prisoner of Cell 25
Author: Richard Paul Evans
# of Pages: 326 (paperback)
Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Fantasy
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Synopsis: To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette’s syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special—he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael’s friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens—and through them, the world.
Review: The cover made it look so awesome too...

Let me make this quick: This book was terrible. The ratio between dialogue and detail was completely off (too much dialogue, not enough detail), there were way too many cliches, the characters acted like they were in KINDERGARTEN...the list is endless. I was getting pissed off just reading it because it was wasting my time. I can't believe that there's actually MORE Michael Vey books.

Michael Vey sucks at being a protagonist. He whines about being bullied and how unfair life is. Well, guess what buddy? Life isn't fair to any of us, but you don't see me throwing a pity party for myself, do you?

I pretty much sped-read through the last twenty pages...I'm just glad that it's over. DO NOT READ!!!
