Will James be able to find Samuel and make him join the other Alters in the fight against the big corporations and their mischievous plans? The sci-fi elements and the fast pace of this thriller definitely make it an exciting read. Thanks for a great review!

I like how the reviewer paints a vivid picture of the book. I could tell she really enjoyed this book. I’m sure fans of such movies as Avengers, X-men, Justice League and the likes, are already salivating. Nice review.

Altered Reality by Joel Knox is not my cup of tea. If you enjoy reading about dual identities then you will probably like this book. I couldn't even finish reading the first chapter. It was too boring to me. I would give it 3 ***.

A fast phased thriller about humans with supernatural powers or abilities. The fight against time and money. The struggle to lead a chosen person to fulfil his destiny for a greater good. A good versus evil sequel that can be a great movie and is compared even with the Avengers. Congratulations.

Not sure if I would enjoy the book because of too much gory details, and I do not like skipping too many pages. I'll try out the sample for its interesting concept and see if I like it. Thanks for the well-written review.

I like very urban fantasy and I like very much the people with supernatural powers. The review convinced me to read the book. Thank you so much for your review!

The book seems brimful of spectacular characters forming an A-team. Superheroes with superpowers in super-actions appear like a top-notch for this super-world. It sounds irresistible, but I think I'll pass this one, for now at least. Thank you for your impressive review!

I have followed the Avenger and X-men stories very closely. If this book is similar to any of them, I'll like to give it a read. The violence in the story could be a problem for me though.

The story starts with the air heavy, danger brewing close by. The keen observer scans the area, calculating his precise steps. I feel my heartbeat increase as he approaches his target.
This made me love this book. The suspense never lets down. If you can build enough of it in any story no matter the genre. Thanx for this interesting review.

I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy this book as an action-packed superhero storyline is very popular. For me, the gore is not such a big issue, it is just not a style of writing or genre that I enjoy reading. This is a very detailed and informative review which I'm sure will convince a few people to add this book to their reading lists.

The book sounds full of strange events and gory details. I am not a fan of such books. So will pass it on.

I love X-MEN and other superhero flicks and comics. Altho, admittedly, I haven't read any superhero books like them, if you know what I mean. I'll add this in my tbr, still. Thanks

I think that the book Altered Reality By Joel Knox will be very interesting because first of all i like xmen,avengers generally this kind if film.According to your review, i believe that i will like this book ,because it has adventure ,unexpected twisted plot ,heroes with humanlike behavior and feelings ( like antagonism ,greed ,explotation,self sacrifice ) but they also possess superanutal abilities . As you mentioned in your revie,w I like the fact that the writing is clear ,you are not mixed up with heroes and there is also the humous element .Unfortunately, i am not fan of very vivid violent described material but i think i will skip these pages .Thank you for your clear and detailed review
