Super Powereds: Year 1: Super Powereds, Book 1

by Drew Hayes, Kyle McCarley (Narrator)

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities - one that they must guard from even their classmates.

For every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings - Powereds, as they are called - have always been treated as burdens and second-class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super.

That is, until now....

The book, and especially the dialogue, is very very awkward at times.

Like many of the reviews say, it is a slow slog. I slept through and missed most of the first five or six hours of the book and I have to say it doesn’t seem like I missed much.

I saw another review that said the last half hour or so was interesting so I skipped ahead and then jumped back until it seemed like the beginning of that segment. I suggest going to chapter 141 if you’re ready to give up on the book, but still wanna see what happens.

Best series ever! I read those 4 books at least 5 times each, and it is still as good as the first read!
