Loved it. A prick network exec turns into a human being on a long, dangerous walk home through earthquake-ravaged LA. I don't like giving stars but I'd be tempted to give this 4 or 5. Think of The Road for beach readers. ...more

Loved it! Fun little YA novella about teens at a high school who start displaying unusual powers. This, the first in the series, is about a boy who discovers he's telekinetic. I'm kind of curious to see where the series goes. ...more

Enjoyed it, mostly because I wanted to see how the character would break the puzzle/curse at the center of the novel. I do think it raises some problematical issues regarding regarding rape, teen pregnancy, early marriage, etc.
