It was a very different theme than anything Patterson has wrote about before. I enjoyed it but prefer many of his other titles it still has the same flow, style and content but something was lacking for me. I usually enjoy sci-fi themed books but this one seemed as though he couldn't decide if it was for adults or children. I would still recommend it just don't expect it to be one like one of his best. So overall it's still one for the collection but if your short on money and haven't read some of his other earlier works I'd buy those first.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X is the first of a new childrens series by James Patterson. Having read - and greatly enjoyed - the Maximum Ride series I had high hopes for his latest book. Sadly it was a disappointment, I can't quite say where it lacked, I guess my problem with the book was that it seemed to have no basis in fact, it was complete fantasy.
Daniel X (X because he has no real surname) is an alien with special powers on earth since his childhood destined to destroy all aliens on earth. Already a slightly odd concept, his parents where killed at the age of 3 by an alien known as the Prayer, his ultimate enemy and then skips to him at 15, carrying a list of all aliens which he intends to pursue and destroy. This first book is mainly focused in his pursuit of "Number 6", Ergent Seth.
Essentially my problem with this was it's just too bizarre, in concepts, in plot. It certainly lacks the down to earth view of the Maximum Ride series and is a great failure to my mind. I shall be awaiting the next in the series, but more out of curiosity than excitement!

I bought this book expecting it to be as page turning as other Patterson books, and I was a bit disappointed, it is worth reading just to see if you are going to like this series, but for me it was a one off, I found Daniel to be lacking in character and the plot lacking in suspense it is of course a book for teenagers so maybe I was expecting too much. I wish the Daniel X series luck, but I will not be buying further books in this series.

As with all James Patterson books an excellent read. Although aimed at youngsters I enjoyed it at aged over 60.

Not Patterson's Best
While I'm not one of James Patterson's biggest fans, I have enjoyed a few of his Women's Murder Club books so I decided to give this one a try just for something different really. Read more

Daniel X makes Mary Sues look like well balanced characters!
In a word? Awful.
In many words. This is perhaps the worst book ever written!
