The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

This was a very fast read, but it was way out there and very strange. Those who enjoy science fiction might enjoy this.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X was a quick romp of playful imagination. I always enjoy following Patterson's creative mind. I got his Maximum Ride series for my grandson - but was soon hooked on the outcome of his very colorful and endearing characters. Daniel X leads you into the same pattern - you learn quickly to care about the main character. To hang spell bound on his Destiny and to enjoy following him on the twists and turns of the Journey that leads him there. I look forward to the next book in the series. The audio book gives you such a great preview of it.

My 11 year old son couldn't put the book down and read without being told to do so! He rated it a 4 1/2 star book, but we couldn't do that with the stars. He told me to tell other kids that this book is "really weird in a good way". He also stated he was interested in getting the next book in this series.

I found the short, choppy chapters distracting and unpleasant. However, I assume that this book was really written for a younger audience.

I highly recommend this book. I finished it in 2 days and there wasn't a moment that I wanted to stop reading it. I could tell Patterson had fun with this title and I am looking forward to more in this series.
