I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the Author. This is normally not something I would read so I was a little apprehensive about reading it and then also reviewing it as well. I decided to go ahead and give it shot anyway.
In this book we have a 14 year old boy named Sean who has an IQ of about 250. Played on Jeopardy and then figures out a math formula that gets him into some trouble. He then has people after him which then leads to his fabricated death with a new identity. The story goes on from there.
The first half of the book was very hard for me to get into. I found it somewhat boring and also a bit confusing at times. I thought that Sean was a little unrealistic as well. And I found that I could not relate to the story or characters. The second half of the book was totally different and so much more engaging. It was like I was reading a different book altogether. It had excitement and adventure and it flowed well from then on. This is why it got a 3 star rating.
Our main character, Sean, seemed like 2 different people from the first half of the book to the second half. Which is what made him feel unrealistic to me. I could not pinpoint his character till I got further into the book like maybe the author could not make up his mind on what type of person Sean should be. Once that was ironed out, I started to enjoy who Sean was and could also enjoy the rest of the book.
I think this author has a lot of potential, I feel like he just needs to write with a bit more depth and some better character development. The story was ok it just did not make me say wow.
