I didn't know what to expect when I began reading this book. I had read every one of Richard Paul Evan's books for adults and children, but couldn't imagine what a young adult book by him would be like. Once I began reading MICHAEL VEY, I couldn't put it down until I was finished, and then only wanted more! The characters are real; you come to know them and feel for them. At times I was at the edge of my seat not knowing what might come next. The battle between good and evil,ethical questions, acceptance of differences, the strength of friendship,the feelings associated with, and the effects of bullying, peer pressure......it's all in here!!! A fabulous read! Waiting for the next book in the series! I have already bought several books to share with friends and family.
I loved this book. I pre-ordered it for my Kindle after hearing Glenn Beck talk so highly about it - I totally agree with Mr. Beck. It was excellent. I'm not a teenager, by far, but a 40 year old who loves to read. I thought this book was well paced, kept my interest, was a completely unique subject, and left me wanting to read more. What else could one ask for? I just hope it's made into a movie. If you liked the Twilight series or the Hunger Games series, Michael Vey is for you.
Wow! I loved Michael Vey, The Prisoner of Cell 25! I was fascinated by the imagination of the author Richard Paul Evans. From one chapter to the next, it totally held MY interest. I found this book to have all the ingredients for a great read... humor among the characters but plenty of adventure and chills too! I am hooked on Michael and his friends with their special powers and am glad this is going to be a series. As a grandma I LOVED this book and will be purchasing it for my grandchildren.
As a parent of two teenage boys and one soon to be teenage daughter, I am concerned with the decline of positive media options available to my family. The story of Michael Vey is very exciting and enjoyable to read, but on a different level the book also teaches and reinforces positive values. It shows that it is okay to love your family and that it is cool to be smart. It encourages personal integrity and the courage to stand up for what you believe. I would recommend this book to parents and their teenagers.
I was anxious waiting for this book to release because I love this author's other books but this is the first for the younger crowd. Well, Richard Paul Evans does not disappoint. I really enjoyed it, but even better my 12 and 14 year old grandsons are loving it. I can't wait to give it to my other children and their families for Christmas. I really can't wait for the books to come.....what does the future hold for Michael Vey? I consider myself well read, and well rounded enough to enjoy books written for most all audiences. Well done Mr. Evans.
I thought the book was great! I read it in just 2 days, in the car. My 13 yr. old boy is reading it and loving it too. He is a self proclaimed non reader, but has had no problem jumping into this and enjoying it very much. He's even reading when I'm not prompting him, ahhhh he's reading for enjoyment! I'm thrilled with it and can't wait for book 2!
It is easy to identify with Michael Vey; bullied and he considers himself a nobody. Michael finds himself, once again, in the principal's office because he was the stuffed upside down in his locker. Even though he is the victim, he gets punished and his tormentors go free. Sure that Vey 'snitched', they attacked once more. Only this time Michael has had enough and he lets lose and his secret is exposed.Michael Vey, The Prisoner in Cell 25 is an excellent book for youths (and adults). While maintaining excitement, Richard Paul Evans confronts issues of bullying, revenge and morality. When people say this book is a page turner, it is because it really is. Enjoy.
So far I read all of Richard's books and all of them are really good books. I heard a lot about this story Michael Vey, waiting to read this amazing book. I recommend all of Richard's books to book lovers. Please get to know his writings, the wonderful stories and the lessons you would be able to learn from them.
