2.0 out of 5 starsNowhere to go
By CMonster0125 on August 30, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I read the first book of this series, and while it had an interesting premise, the author fell into the trap of having an overpowered protagonist. I had hoped that he would tame this aspect down a little for the 2nd novel, but no such luck. I will say that the plot lines are well developed, and the cast of characters (other than the hero) are likable. The problem is that the main character can do everything, and I mean everything, yet still manages to flounder around. We're told he's a genius, but doesn't act like one (simple plot devices go unnoticed), and he has all these fantastic powers (which he forgets to use until it's convenient for him to save the day).
I like the superhero genre, and there are many well written novels in it. This series (and author) have the potential, but so far it's coming up short of the mark.
I don't know if I would recommend this novel (or series) to others, but maybe to other authors as an example of what to avoid when creating superheroes.

2.0 out of 5 starsdisappointing
By Dynomoose on January 27, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The first book had some flaws, but I was hopeful that Hardman would figure out how not to telegraph his " twists" and be a tad less cliche.
Not only was I wrong, but this book had more bad cliches, telegraphed the twists (as well as future conflicts) more blatantly, contradicted itself several times and had several minor plot holes.
I think I'm done with this series.

3.0 out of 5 starsLike it, but annoyed at illogical behavior by Characters
By Michael Orr on October 20, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I am conflicted about this one. The story is good, writing is good, BUT - the characters stretch my incredulity too much by NOT using their powers ...

<MILD SPOLIER ALERT>

Still here?
OK.
So we are to believe that a "government" agency (presumably US) takes
hostile acts towards the hero, and he does NOT use his powers in full to
defend himself.
Worse, we are asked to believe that this "rogue" agency attacks and tries
to kill a large number of superpowered children, many of whom have super-powered
parents.

After the attack is foiled all of these Superheroes do ... NOTHING ?!

Seriously?
Even if we are to believe that due to ethical reasons they decide not to
retaliate by force (and they could do it easily, and in ways that can't be
detected and proven), Wouldn't a super-powered group of Teenagers who were attacked,
or their parents, use their powers to expose the "rouge" agency?
They don't even go on strike in offering super-powered services to the world
until the people responsible for the attack are stopped from any further action?

I am willing to suspend disbelief that Super Heroes (and Villains) exist,
but to believe they are all wimps?! even in the face of assassination attempts
on their kids?

Come on.

1.0 out of 5 starswarning spoilers.
By Vi King on November 4, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
If you have a plethora of super powers and you're threatned by a group of people with a fraction of the power you have. Are you just gonna cave? Or would you just teleport them all into the sun?

The bad guy in this book is so irrelevent kid sensation could teleport him into the sun or simply ignore him. Instead he acts like hes some kind of serious threat.

5.0 out of 5 starsReally Good Series and this book holds up
By Remy on August 17, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Before I really go into my review I would like to point out that I rarely review software and reading material/books. I believe that both areas are VERY subjective as to what works and what doesn't for each person so what might be a great choice for me might actually be a disaster for someone else. That said occasionally I do break down and decide to rate something that I found especially enjoyable. That is the case with not only this book but ALL the rest of the books in this series. Which is what prompted me to do this review. I actually thought all the stories in this series have been pretty well thought out and the issues that have cropped up have been very consistent with the types of issues you would find in superhero-based graphic novels so the books work really well with the theme. I also appreciate how well thought out the descriptions of the powers used by the various characters and how and why they work the way they do. It makes reading these books quite enjoyable (for me).

3.0 out of 5 starsOkay story
By Pat on October 11, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Wow I thought this was a decent superhero story there were some problems with the main character. Several times his actions seemed out of character. For example he has the ability to phase, fly, and turn invisible. In fact he has done this before when he attempted to do recon. However for all his intelligence and experience he doesn't think about doing this when he needs to infiltrate a location. Instead he goes around the most convoluted plan in order to break in. Several other instances in which his supposed maturity and practical experience does not come into play.

Characterization aside the rest of the story was very good and I enjoyed reading it.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat sequel!
By Frank Richter on October 8, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I loved the first book and this was more of the same. I like how it just picks up and you can see a lot of progression in Kid Sensation in how he can use his powers and personality. The story was well written and it leaves me excited for another book in the series!

3.0 out of 5 starsSlow build, fast burn
By David Harriss on March 6, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The second Kid Sensation novel gets off to a much slower start than the first. It then rambles along, giving a sketchy overview of super-school life, until the plot finally assaults our hero. The main events all take about a week to occur, and end the school year very early.
Three supporting characters return, and a half dozen more are introduced. Yet none of them get remotely enough time or characterization to be engaging. The evil mastermind is the only character to evoke strong responses (of the "teleport him into the sun already" kind).
The ending is fast, flat, and only partial. The lesser villains are defeated but the evil mastermind walks away untouched, and the girl is not rescued. Clearly the author is setting up a sequel, but I am not sure I care enough to read it. This volume was simply too disappointing.
