I usually don’t go for sci-fi books, but I find the plot of this one quite original. And the fact that the protagonist is a teenager makes it more interesting because their decisions on what to do with such power are different from an adult’s.
I had seen this book available but I wouldn’t have given it a chance if it wasn’t for your review, thank you.

You are a lot more positive about this story than I was. When I read it I immediately labelled Alex as anything but a hero. Alex is an incredibly smart and worldly aware character. I didn't view his age as something that excused his actions. Alex is a despicable character but that is what made his story intriguing for me.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm sure I made some very interesting decisions at 18 which I now wish I hadn't

Alex's conviction to share his wealth to the poor and the undeprivileged has evoked my interest to read this book. Thank you for such delightful review.

Sure, we all did! That’s why I find so interesting that the main character is a teen. I’m sure he uses the power differently than an adult would.
