If you have a superpower that sets you apart from the masses, what will you do with it? Will you use it to help others? Or will you use it for personal gain?

Alexander Knox grew up in an orphanage. He spent his time in reading books, especially books about technology. By the time he was twelve, he was fascinated by the concept of computer networks. This motivation drove him to swallow books on optics and data transmission whenever he finds one. As he grew older, his aspirations also soared. He focused in his studies knowing that this is his ticket to freedom.

By the time Alexander was eighteen years old, the library in the orphanage was rearranged to make room for a small computer laboratory. This gave him the opportunity to go online for longer periods of time. However, this event also changed the direction of his path. During his first travel through the network cables, he was brought to the exact location as the place that was opened in his browser. This time, he gained a new perspective in life and it was like his reality was twisted.

Superhighway by Alex Fayman is the first book in a trilogy. This book contains the journey of Alexander to self-discovery. Alex Fayman did a great job in writing this book. His style of writing monopolizes the reader’s attention to the flow of the story. He maintains the reader’s interest while reading the book. For instance, when you finish reading a chapter and you want to see what happens in the next chapter, the first part of the chapter does not contain the next event. Flashbacks are used to make the story plot more interesting.

The character development is very good. The readers can relate with the characters directly and indirectly. Alex developed Alexander’s character exceptionally well. At first, Alexander longed for freedom but he started to change when he discovered his hidden ability. His interest in narcotics piqued until he started to rely on it to relieve his splitting head ache and hunger after he travels through the network cables. However, as the story progressed, despite his reliance on narcotics and robbing bank accounts of those syndicates and lying with a straight face, his kind nature is still present ingrained in his bone marrows. This is what I really like in the book. His inherent nature is still there despite being tainted on the surface. It reminds me of the coexistence of light and dark.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars with the with the reason that the book is exceptionally good and that I enjoyed reading it. The book is well-edited and the story offers many valuable lessons. This book is recommended to those who love to read sci-fi/fantasy. A word of caution though, this book is for mature readers and those with an open mind.

I'm glad you enjoyed this book so much. I also reviewed it and thought it was relatively good. I think it's a bit hard to take in, but still fun to read. Great job with the review!

Hi, I reviewed this book as well, and I'm really glad you liked it. When you say that the characters are well-developed, did you mean specifically Alex or all of the characters? I know there is a lot of internal dialogue about Alex that reveals his character, but I felt that many of the supporting characters only existed to serve Alex's story and didn't have their own plots to explore.
