    An enjoyable superhero tale
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014*

The first book in the Kid Sensation series is a fun look at a world where superheroes have pretty much been in continuous existence and are now part of everyday life. Author Kevin Hardman introduces some interesting aspects, like the idea of superteams arranging game days for super-powered teens given that many of them don't have the opportunity to play with other kids for fear of harming them. Also the tryouts for superteams was a nice touch.The story is told in the first-person perspective from Kid Sensation's POV. Hardman does a great job of capturing what it's like to be a teenage boy and grounding the character despite his multitude of powers. The interactions between Kid and his grandfather and mother as well as other superheroes his age, like Paramount, Aqua or Smokescreen or Electra all feel very real. Hardman also adds in some interesting touches for different super-powers, such as the idea of super-vision being an ancillary power for super-speed.That being said, I think I would have to agree with others who argued that Kid is perhaps a bit TOO powerful. Flight, superhuman speed, intangibility, telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, and shapeshifting is a bit much. I also felt that the intelligence of far smarter characters like Mouse and Braintrust was more or less ignored towards the end of the book so Kid could be the one who discovered the mole.The prose has some clunky moments and for some reason, the prologue is written in present-tense, a very jarring shift from the rest of the book. But overall a very enjoyable read. I read it within the span of a day and never felt bored.

    Nice Quick Read
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013*

I had stumbled on this book a week ago but dismissed it. I believe it was priced at about $8 for 200 pages which I found ridiculous (overpriced like his other book). So I was pleasantly surprised when I would up seeing it again only this time for the low low price of Free.This is a good example of a type of book that drives me nuts. It could have been so much more as either a series or just a longer book. Please don't get me wrong it is a good book for what it is but there are a lot of things from his powers to his family and friends that could have been fleshed out a lot more to add to the story. That's one reason why you see some other reviewers requesting a sequel.Jim is a fairly relatable teen with a teens attitude. One thing I loved is Jim is not the type to let bygones be bygones like SO many other heroes. No, if you wrong him he will call you on it. His powers are diverse and interesting and the fighting fairly good as well.The major downside is pretty much what I wrote above. Its short. This means that there is not a lot of character development, background info etc. All that said I still found it a nice, fun distraction for several hours and would have no problem, bearing in mind a good price, to picking up another in the same world.

    Enjoyable if somewhat comic bookish
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018*

Overall it is an enjoyable book and a good series. On the upside the stories are clean, well edited and overall fun to read. The characters and their interactions are the essence of the stories and the author creates characters that you can get into and enjoy watching doing their thing.On the downside, the world building is mediocre and fairly unbelievable, at least to me. Kind of comic bookish. Typical comic book style villains for example. Also, the author obviously is pretty ignorant about science. He tries to explain how powers work or how people use their powers and makes some really egregious errors with regard to science. For example he talks about how super speed can kind of mimic super strength. A really fast hit will act like a really strong hit, which is essentially true. Except, it ignores physics 101 and the idea of every action having an equal and opposite reaction. if the person doing the hitting didn't have super strength/durability a hit like that would pulp their arm. This is just one example of the many gross misunderstandings of science throughout the book.But, stock up on "suspend disbelief" buttons and the books are a fun read.
