I have recently re-read this book to refresh my memory for the second. Overall, I think that it was very well written and drawn. I can remember times where I've caught myself staring at a picture for a little bit. I'm not one for going back and reading a book that I've already read, but this one was quite a good one to re-read. I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. It was so good that I finished it it one day. In the future I'd like to see myself read more books like this.

Wow. This is interesting. I love it. Some scenes were just cute. Like Daniel and the elephant. It was awesome!

I like the story, but some of it was confusing to me. Daniel was able to make replicas of his parents and friends. This confused me because the original ones died, yet he was still considered an orphan, Also in the Manga, it mentioned that Daniel was an Alien. He was on another planet towards the ending. Even The grandmother was alive, so couldn't the grandmother have been Daniel's guardian instead. That way Daniel wouldn't need to create more parental. replicas. I think the Manga was a bad choice to read. I wanted to familiarize myself with the story. It's the only reason why I am rating it 3 stars.

It’ s been done before many times, and Daniel X doesn’t stick out from the rest of the books in it’s genre, It isn’t amazing but I liked it and I’ll probably read the next books in the series.

Fresh off reading “Angel”, the latest book in James Patterson’s bird-kid saga, I debated giving his Daniel X a whirl. From what i hear, it’s the same sort of feel so I thought I might enjoy it. Coincidentally, I found the graphic novel for a discount at a store-closing sale. Works for me, I could see what I think, plus have the fun of a graphic novel.
The story did not disappoint. I really like the world created in the Daniel X story. It’s kind of like “Men in Black” – but with a young adult hero. I know my boys will enjoy that, since they love both MIB movies. I really like the orphan with superpowers element as well.
The art in this book looks great. That can truly make or break a graphic novel for me. I really like the manga feel. I grew up on comic books, but I must admit that I like the manga style drawing better. Yes, there is a difference.
The real fun of this was that as a graphic novel, I finished it quickly. That meant we could pass it around our family and talk about it within a couple of days. Everyone in my house is a fan of Patterson’s “Maximum Ride” series, so this pleased us all. “Angel” is still making the rounds.
Thanks to this graphic novel, I know I want to check out the full length novel that sparked the manga. With this book coming in two formats, you can interest all readers in your house.
