THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X
BOOK REVIEW | Whoa. Daniel X does have some really dangerous days. Parents getting killed by an alien? Hunting aliens as a living? Creating stuff with his mind? All before he's old enough to drive on Earth, or "Terra Firma" as he calls it.
If he was able to drive, I have the feeling that his car would have more weaponry than the most recent incarnation of Kitt on Knight Rider.
So this kid can create stuff just by thinking about it. Even people. His best friends (and the main supporting characters in the book) aren't real...Or maybe they are. Daniel's creations aren't just virtual images, they're actually physically real, DNA and all. He can rearrange matter at will.
Overall, The Dangerous Days of Daniel X was a good story. I'd call this a "beach read;" a little light on depth but perfect for some good entertainment. I didn't have to think much while reading this one, and sometimes I like just being able to rip through a book and enjoy the story without much thought. If you need some quick entertainment, and you like the whole boy vs. alien thing, this is a quick read that might interest you.
