It's probably my fault but I didn't realise this book was targeted for adolescents between the age of 12-16. I'm 30 and I don't usually go for Sci-fi but I thought the storyline had an interesting concept. And it did, I like the idea of kids with super powers. The problem was that there were way too many characters in this story, introduced in sequence with not much back story.
Having said that, this would be great fun for teenagers, so if audible had more of this age group members, this book would have a higher rating. I was expecting more from James Patterson, but I guess the narrator had fun with the reading. So to clarify, this book is not for adults, unless your on a road trip with your kids. Keep in mind, you'll have to explain a lot to them. Like who is who!
