Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens--and through them, the world.

  • Even though it's aimed at a younger crowd, this book is enjoyable for readers of any age. The characters are relatable and the plot is engaging. I can't wait to dive into the rest of the series.
  • I found this book to be quite intriguing. The way the story developed and the exploration of the characters' abilities kept me engaged. Although I really enjoyed it, I did deduct one star from my rating because I noticed some striking resemblances to the TV series Heroes, particularly the "I'm just a cheerleader" element. Nonetheless, it's still a fantastic read. I hope Evans takes caution in future plot development to avoid replicating existing superpower narratives. Can't wait for the next installment!
  • I gotta be honest, this audiobook was a complete disaster in terms of both plot and narrative. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to lead a book club discussion on it, I would have given up on listening to it. It was pure torture. The way the different character types were narrated was totally stereotypical. Personally, I think I would have had a better experience reading this book rather than listening to it. Now, I've never been a fan of Richard Paul Evans' work, and after listening to his attempt at science fiction, I think he should just stick to his sappy stuff. It was excruciating to get through. It felt like it was written by a 13-year-old who just binged on Twilight and X-Men. If you're looking for something in a similar genre, I'd recommend checking out James Dashner instead. To make matters worse, I actually grew up in Utah, which is where Richard Paul Evans is from. Churchill Jr. High and Cottonwood High School were right in my neighborhood. I even knew the Dalstroms, whose last name matches that of the principal in the book. Walker Lane was just down the street from me. So, to see all these familiar places transported to Idaho just didn't sit well with me.
  • I thought that Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 was pretty entertaining, but I can't say it completely blew me away or anything. It's definitely not a book that I would go out of my way to recommend to my friends. However, I do think it would be a good read for teenagers. The story is interesting and it does a good job of showcasing some important moral values.
