BOOK REVIEW BLOG

The book that I am going to be writing about is called "Daniel X", and the author is James Patterson. The prominent reason that I selected this book was that I had just finished reading it at the end of summer, so I still have a strong memory of the story and the characters, along with it also being a great book. The only reason that I came across this book was due to of an advertisement that my mom saw in the L.A. Times. She thought it would be a good summer book, and she was right.
The main theme of this book is pretty basic, but the way the author entices the reader with colorful grammar, which makes it a much faster, more enjoyable read. The book is about a boy, Daniel, who in the beginning is an ordinary three-year-old, except for the fact that he can read people's minds, rearrange molecules at will, and transform into different things, animals, insects or any other object nameable. At age three, a life-altering event happens to his family, that will change Daniel's life story tremendously. His parents are ruthlessly murdered by an over-grown Rastafarian praying mantis, who throughout the whole scene is searching for, and screaming, "give me the list", which when you read the book, you will find the significance of the quote. It then becomes Daniel's life journey to rid all of the alien outlaws, along with the praying mantis, on earths face, with help from his best friends, and his parents, whom Daniel can manifest at any given time.
"I was a three-year-old boy again. Transformed. No longer a tick. I stood and turned back, and stared in disbelief and terror that could find no voice at that awful moment.". The quote listed above has great significance to the foundation of the story. This is when the Rastafarian praying mantis burns down his house, kills his parents, and takes everything away from Daniel that he has. This is when he makes the commitment to seek out every alien outlaw on earth and destroy them as revenge, and this is also when he becomes Daniel "X".
I am going to give this book 5 happy faces out of 5 happy faces, because this book was enticing and a blast to read.
I would recommend this book to someone who LOVES crazy science-fiction books. Its dense in material, but also a fun and easy/light read, its DEFINITELY a page-turner, and it doesn't have too much questionable material in it, all though there is light violence, and some gore, but thats it and its not too bad. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it to science-fiction lovers out there.
