Sounds like an intriguing novel. I have to agree with you about this book not being suitable for the young audience due to its contents. But otherwise it looks like an incredible read.

In my review of this book, I gave it a 2/4 because I wasn't fond of the main character and was put off by the unnatural flow of the conversations. I still think the concept is unique, though.

This sounds like a very interesting book. I like the idea of the web traveling and to also that he uses his found talent and targets to bad guys. I am interested in reading this book. Great pick for book of the day.

Traveling through the internet is a brilliant idea. I liked the intriguing idea of the author will definitely read it. Although, the mystery and suspense genre are not my cup of tea. The story plot is so captivating. After reading the sample available, I decided to taste this cup of tea🙂.

While I have already read the book and had much different takeaways, I love that you have great justifications for your rating. I wish I could have looked at Alex's actions the same way as you.

It comes as no surprise that Alex's ability to travel the internet leaves him with a macho attitude and gets him involved in cybercrime. Readers will be captivated by the plot and the author's talent for storytelling.

I really enjoyed reading and reviewing this book. The premise was different and the creativity behind the idea was very thought out. I like your rating and the way you stated your reasons behind it. Alex is a very interesting character and I can't wait to see how things pan out for him in the next book. Great review and summary.

Thanks for the review which gave me a glimpse of the book from a new perspective. I have already read this science fiction book, which is about a teenage boy Alex who accidentally discovers his ability to travel through the computer network cable to any place, provided that the place has computer connected with Network cable. I enjoyed reading this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Because the concept of the novel is new and unique I think I could forgive the flaws just to have a different kind of book to read and compare.

Alex does have some redeeming qualities, and his childhood in the orphanage is heartbreaking. However, the use of drugs and sex in this book are not to my taste, so I will not read this book.

Thanks for the detailed review. It would be so wonderful to travel anywhere through internet. I am quite intrigued by the plot. The negatives like stealing from the robbers all lead to portraying Alex as a real character through this fantasy fiction book. If there was no negatives or overconfident Alex it would have been difficult to believe in Alex or the story. I feel the flaws are good.

Scientific fiction thriller isn't my type of genre but I would recommend it to the lovers of science fiction thrillers. Great review!

The premise for the book is interesting, though it's hard to make characters seem they do good with power. Even if abused, doesn't necessarily mean they are going to want to be different from that. Reading the first chapter, I am more excited to see how the book turns out because it seems Alex runs a very raw instinct life rather than one where he thinks. Makes me curious as what the author interpretation of a raw being of a time traveler is like.
