Emily Pennington's Reviews > Sensation

Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero. And the fact is, he could easily accomplish that feat since superpowers kept manifesting in him – so far, all but the one of super-strength that he really was hoping for. His current role was to bring in criminals for the police. This time, however, he saw a “Wanted Poster” from the Alpha League looking for Kid Sensation – which was Jim’s superhero name. He pointed out that Kid Sensation was not a criminal and had done nothing wrong. He felt the picture should not be hung among the scum of the universe criminals! The officer shrugged and recommended he consider going after the reward for the Kid – the fame alone would make it worthwhile! When things get more complicated, Jim finds himself on the run from fellow superheroes and the action never slows down! Do they finally capture him? What fate would await him if they do? Who else would be able to save the world?

Full of action and snarky fun behavior, this was a really good book! The characters were very well-depicted and the story line was fast-moving and exciting. In the audiobook, the narrator (Mikael Naramore) was one of the best! He did the voices to perfection, his intonation immediately producing an image in the listener’s mind and an appropriate visceral response to whatever happened. In simpler terms, he made it real as if the reader were right in the middle of the action. It definitely enhanced the story! I highly recommend this well-written book, and most especially the audiobook version if you have the opportunity! Outstanding performance!
