I didn't know what to expect when I began reading this book. I had read every one of Richard Paul Evan's books for adults and children, but couldn't imagine what a young adult book by him would be like. Once I began reading MICHAEL VEY, I couldn't put it down until I was finished, and then only wanted more! The characters are real; you come to know them and feel for them. At times I was at the edge of my seat not knowing what might come next. The battle between good and evil,ethical questions, acceptance of differences, the strength of friendship,the feelings associated with, and the effects of bullying, peer pressure......it's all in here!!! A fabulous read! Waiting for the next book in the series! I have already bought several books to share with friends and family.

Wow! I loved Michael Vey, The Prisoner of Cell 25! I was fascinated by the imagination of the author Richard Paul Evans. From one chapter to the next, it totally held MY interest. I found this book to have all the ingredients for a great read... humor among the characters but plenty of adventure and chills too! I am hooked on Michael and his friends with their special powers and am glad this is going to be a series. As a grandma I LOVED this book and will be purchasing it for my grandchildren.

I loved this book. I pre-ordered it for my Kindle after hearing Glenn Beck talk so highly about it - I totally agree with Mr. Beck. It was excellent. I'm not a teenager, by far, but a 40 year old who loves to read. I thought this book was well paced, kept my interest, was a completely unique subject, and left me wanting to read more. What else could one ask for? I just hope it's made into a movie. If you liked the Twilight series or the Hunger Games series, Michael Vey is for you.

I thought the book was great! I read it in just 2 days, in the car. My 13 yr. old boy is reading it and loving it too. He is a self proclaimed non reader, but has had no problem jumping into this and enjoying it very much. He's even reading when I'm not prompting him, ahhhh he's reading for enjoyment! I'm thrilled with it and can't wait for book 2!

So far I read all of Richard's books and all of them are really good books. I heard a lot about this story Michael Vey, waiting to read this amazing book. I recommend all of Richard's books to book lovers. Please get to know his writings, the wonderful stories and the lessons you would be able to learn from them.

I was anxious waiting for this book to release because I love this author's other books but this is the first for the younger crowd. Well, Richard Paul Evans does not disappoint. I really enjoyed it, but even better my 12 and 14 year old grandsons are loving it. I can't wait to give it to my other children and their families for Christmas. I really can't wait for the books to come.....what does the future hold for Michael Vey? I consider myself well read, and well rounded enough to enjoy books written for most all audiences. Well done Mr. Evans.

I don't usually read fiction, so when I do it really has to be good to capture my attention. This one certainly did. I read it in just a matter of days and I can't wait for the next book to come out. I can't wait to share it with my sister and my friends. They all loved the Harry Potter series so I know they're going to love this one too. I certainly did!

Have you ever found yourself feeling different from everybody else, or misunderstood because you were different? Michael thought he was alone in a world that didnt take the time to understand him. Until he found someone that was different too, and in the midst of their friendship discovered they shared a secret that no one else had, and would bind them forever.
Richard Evans book, Micheal Vey, Prisoner of Cell 25 is a marvelous book especially for young readers, that deals with difference from a completely opposite perspective. The reader finds they wish they shared the characters differences, and roots for them as they find themselves in situations where their "Talents" are exactly what they need to escape !!! It is an exciting book, and will keep you turning the pages until the end. I couldn't put it down!!!! I think young and old will love Micheal Vey. Its an "Electric" experience !!!

As a parent of two teenage boys and one soon to be teenage daughter, I am concerned with the decline of positive media options available to my family. The story of Michael Vey is very exciting and enjoyable to read, but on a different level the book also teaches and reinforces positive values. It shows that it is okay to love your family and that it is cool to be smart. It encourages personal integrity and the courage to stand up for what you believe. I would recommend this book to parents and their teenagers.

This is the first book in a series. I have read Michael Vey and it is amazing! Michael Vey is a 14 yr. old that has special electrical powers and also has Tourettes Syndrome. He is bullied in school,even by the school officials. He and his Mom have had to move around a lot because an evil man is trying to find he and others like him to start a group to rule the world. His friends are Ostin,a very intelligent kid,and Taylor,a cheerleader(she also has special powers) Michael leads you on an electrifing journey so intense that you can't stop reading. Richard Paul Evans is the author of Michael Vey Prisoner of Cell 25 and I urge you to read the book and start on a journey with Michael that will change you forever. Hurry,the book is in it's third printing(Mercury Ink) and just released today,August 9,2011.
