Robin Hood meets sci-fi! That's an original plot. I can't imagine what I'd do in Alex's place because I can't imagine how horrible it must be to grow up in an orphanage. And teenagers often make impulsive decisions, so it's interesting that the author gave him these superpowers without making him a goody goody.
Great review!

The young and 18-year-old Alex in this story comes across as naive, one who, after discovering he is able to travel across the internet, thinks he can rob from wealthy criminals and give to others in need. It covers a lot of themes, most of which do not appeal to me.

Doing a horrible thing for the right reasons, and conversely, doing a good thing for wrong reasons is one of my favorite moral dilemmas. I am also interested in why a romance reader would like this book. I' am doing more research on this one definitely.

This is an interesting paranormal science fiction novel highlighting the supernatural, the ability to travel through internet fiber, and unique characterization. The book has a free sample on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD.

The novel's concept is interesting offering ethical and moral ramifications that make me even more curious about a story that looks exciting and thought-provoking at the same time. I'll look into this series. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

Electroportation is a new term I found in this review and that fascinate me to read this book. I wish to learn more about this term.

The way Alex was able to steal from criminals to give to the poor is unique. I've never read a book like this before and it seems quite intriguing. Your review was well-detailed and explained exactly what the book is about and how it is structured. Thanks for the review

Is it ok to perform criminal acts if it's for the greater good? Should Alex be punished or is he a hero? Today's SciFi BOTD is sure to spark some great discussions! Great to see Superhighway here again as today's feature. Thanks for the great review! :-)

This seems like a modern version of Robin Hood. I've never read a book where the protagonist has the ability to travel through fiber optic channels. I'm very curious to see the things Alex does with his power, so I'll be checking the book out. Great review!

Though I do not like series books. The fact that this book covers a wide range of themes would make me rethink. Congrats on being the #BOTD!

It's a relevant book today, considering the things that happen on the internet, you never really know. I think not only the older readers would like this book, but also the young readers. This gives me some Robin Hood vibes.

Thank you so much for the review!

That 'electroportation' ability sounds very interesting given that everything is within reach via the Internet. What Alex does with his ability sounds like a modern-day Robin Hood. I believe that it is a subject that offers material for an extensive debate. The narration in the first person seems attractive since you can imagine what the character lives. It sounds like a great option.

I remember reading this. I gave this 4 stars. I found it fascinating but if I recall correctly, the ending was a cliffhanger. Thanks for your review!
