4.0 out of 5 stars
entertaining save the world thriller, 14 May 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Super Human (Hardcover)
Five millennia ago, the Super Human Krodin became the ruler of Egypt. He literally led his army against the powerful Assyrians destroying the enemy as he could read minds and possessed strength beyond a hundred mortals. After Assyria, other nations fell to Krodin's might.
In the present, the adult populace becomes ill in a horrific pandemic outburst. The Helotry has begun its plot for world domination with spreading a disease and bringing Krodin to modern times as their adulated leader who will be dictator of earth. An insurgency surfaces that seems laughable; but shockingly they gain victories over the Helotry. This small group thwarting the powerful Helotry is teens with superpowers led by telekinetic Roz Dalton.
This is an entertaining save the world thriller that pays homage to the Teen Titans of DC. Action-packed throughout, young adult readers will relish the teenage heroes battling the ruthless villains while their parents are ailing. Although the villains fail to live up to their reputation as callous and cold-bloodedly cruel (no Joker in the pack) and a romance seems more of a requirement (pet peeve of mine -others might like the relationship sidebar), this is a fun good superhero vs. bad supervillains.

Super Human - to say the very least!, 21 Jun 2010
By J. Field - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Super Human (Hardcover)
The entire story-line, beginning over four thousand years ago, is really very smart, all coming together in the present. The ideas are ingenious, the plot is masterful and the spirit, personality and emotion of the characters is flawless. Whether they are nasty, evil, quick-witted, clever, canny - I could go on, all of characters are very well rounded. The action scenes are very vivid, really powerful stuff, which come alive in each page.
This is story-telling at it's best. An exceptionally good read for teens and teens-at-heart.
Will be sure to read the trilogy now.

Could have been better:, 23 Nov 2011

Other reviewers must be friends with the author because they build this book to be great when it needs work. I believe it could have been better if the author put more thought into it. The whole concept of young adults is fine but I did not expect them to be 12 and 14 year olds. Come on how is a 12 suppose to be the worlds greatest con artist and still be a good guy that we are supposed to be cheering for. I am almost done with it and I do like the general concept but wish the author would have put a little more time into the details of the plot.
