Prisoner of cell 25 is the first book in a great series. I have recently re-read the book, so here is my review:
Summary: Michael Vey is a teenager with the power to send high voltage shocks through anything he touches. This is a secret that only his mom, and his best friend Ostin know. He accidentally reveals this secret, however, when bullies push him to far, and force him to use his power. The bullies get knocked out by this, but his crush is there and witnesses it all. When they figure out that they both have powers (she can read minds), they do research to find out what is wrong with them. They find out that an evil company did experiments on children, and is hunting them down, which sets them on a wild adventure.
Review: I have to say, reading this book again gave me so many flashbacks to sixth grade, when I first fell in love with this book. I miss reading books that I like for hours every day, and racing my friends to see who could finish a series first (I think I won with this one.) The experience was great.
I really like the relationships between the characters, and how they are developed. Michael and Taylor develop a romance, and I like Ostin and Michael's friendship dynamic. The book can be a little fast and really cheesy at times, but that wasn't really a big issue with the novel. The series is amazing, and I would recommend all seven books. My final score would be 4/5.

I also encountered this series in 6th grade, and I enjoyed it as much as you did. I agree with you that the development of the characters and relationships are a nice aspect of the story. Your review provides a short and simple summary, which I think is good, as it does not spoil anything for people who haven't read the book. Overall, nice job!
ReplyDeleteNice post! I have heard of this series, but I didn't know much about the books. Your spoiler free summary was helpful for me seeing as I haven't read the book and I can now decide if it interests me or not without already knowing important plot information. Great job!
