I loved this fun listen. I was never really a big James Patterson girlie until I recently got into my thriller era. Imagine my surprise to see the cute YA novels he has written. I saw these books in the library and looked over them. Big mistake! This book introduced me to Daniel and his super power of being able to create anything he puts his mind to. It’s almost metaphysical🤗. I ordered the first book in the Daniel series. I know it won’t sound like this one, but I am still looking forward to the listen. Go Daniel!

This audible wasn't too bad. It's a dramatisation, and the acting was really good. Not a long listen either. Some parts were a bit cringy but I guess that's what made it quite a good listen.

Okay, I guess I am just a little weird. I am not as fond of these all out dramas, with sound effects and music and all that, as I am of a straight narration. This was not a bad story. In fact it was pretty interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had just been narrated.

Going into it I thought I was reading a truly stand along book; after starting I realized I was listening to the start of a series of books, this one setting the stage for the rest. I was entertained in the book though it felt very juvenile, even for a YA book. I don’t see myself reading the rest, unless I need a break in between other stories, I didn’t dislike it, but the development of the story seemed a bit shallow.

4.5: Feels like cheating marking this as a “book read” because it was like listening to a movie. Very entertaining and absolutely worth a listen BUT there were multiple parts where it wasn’t clear what was actually happening? I feel like other dramatizations I’ve listened to had more words thrown in the middle of the special effect parts to clear things up. Otherwise- angsty teenager saving the world is always a good trope in my book
