Review

" Michael Vey is one of the most original thrillers I've come across in years. It's rare that a book can appeal to a young adult just as much as their parents-but Evans has pulled it off.

-- "Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author"

" Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans is a fantastic read...because of the realistic writing, the likable characters, and a plot that guarantees non-stop action from almost the first page...Any teen into action, adventure or science fiction will want to make sure Michael Vey is on his or her bookshelf."

-- "Chicago Examiner"

"Evans delivers a pair of believable lead characters--Taylor has wits and personal integrity, while Michael's Tourette's syndrome, coupled with an emotional jolt from his past, adds dimension."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

"My kind of book--fast, funny, and strange. Once Michael's astounding powers are revealed, the shocks keep coming chapter after chapter."

-- "R. L. Stine"
