Book Review

How would you like to be a teenage living a normal life except for the fact that you were testing on as a baby, and now you have electric powers? In Richard Paul Evan's Micheal Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25 thats just what Micheal and a few otheres are expeirencing.
The power of friendship is a recurring theme seen throughout the story from an array of perspectives. One of the most important is the friendship that emerges between Micheal, Taylor, and Ostin. They each need this friendship more then ever because Ostin, is the geeky kid that everyone picks on and his only friend seems to be Micheal. Then it comes to him, he is so busy trying not to draw attention to himself that he also finds it hard to bring in new friendships until taylor sees him use his powers and he becomes the first person she told about her powers.
Richard's writing style keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going to happen next the entire book. I am not much of a reader but I did not want to put this book down. He keeps the action going that way it is hard to put this amazing book down.
The setting for this book is mainly Meridan High School. To everyone there Micheal is just a kid with tourrettes syndrome that nobody wants to hangout with. He is what we would call a "loner" aside from his one friend, Ostin.
This book reminds me of every other super hero book out there because it is based on the same basic things. Those basic things are; a person  trying to hide their abilities, someone sees him and has like abilities, then there is the bad guy that is always trying to capture or sometimes kill him. But this book has a twist because Micheal's and Ostin's bullies pair up and try to help them defeat the bad guy, The Elgin.
I would reccomend this book to anyone that loves books about the supernatural, teenage life, or just wants a good read. Not only is this book fantastice but this is just the beginning of an amazing series.
