Synopsis:

LIGHTS....

All's quiet in the small town of Holliswood. Television sets, computers, and portable devices are aglow in every home, classroom, and store. Yet not all is perfect. Evil is lurking, just out of sight, behind the screen.

CAMERA...

Residing in this sleepy town is a villain with more ambition than the world can withstand. Twisted beyond reason, he is dead set on throwing Holliswood into chaos and documenting the destruction of every person in it, including Daniel X.

EXTERMINATION!

The only person who can stop this made-for-TV tyrant, Daniel must use his extraordinary power to save the town. But this devilish director has assembled an all-star team of his own creation and vows to stage the most spectacular finale the world has ever seen. Can Daniel X stop this deranged outlaw--or will he find himself on the cutting room floor?

My Opinion:

A few weeks ago I finished Swimsuit, which was my first James Patterson Novel. I loved it. When I was Offered a chance to review Daniel X from MotherTalk.com, I couldn't wait!

Daniel X is a good Young Adult novel. It is definietly a page turner, but a short fast read. Daniel X is growing stronger, and are is his foes. We see Daniel X growing into a more unique character. This book is not the first in the series, but gave enough back story to keep me up to date. It is a little predictable, but still and interesting. This will make a good read for older kids in your life that like aliens.

3 Stars.. borrow it from the library..
