Teenage super hero, sort of.

This book is definitely targeted at young adults, with the whole teenage angst, school bully, hormonal changes, etc, etc. None the less it is an enjoyable introduction to what should prove to be a good super hero series.

Not what I expected.

It was pretty well done, for the most part, but the recording had several parts that repeated and once when the speaker actually caught himself apologizing before repeating a line. The story had A LOT of football, full descriptions of games, as well as love quadrangles between the main character and three girls, and while they were rather well done as well, it's not really what I was looking for.

YES! This Author knows how to tell a story!

I loved this book! This author knows how to make you fall in love with the characters and hate the bad guys. The book has some great moments of triumph.. its exactly what one would hope for out of a Superhero book. I can't wait to hear more from Alan Janney!

Great performance by Chris Patton.

The performance of Chris Patton was outstanding. The inflections and the different character voices brought the story to life. The story is good yet basic and linear. No thought needed to enjoy this book.

'The Outlaw' is one of my favorite series.

When I first read the summary to this book on kindle it intrigued me. When I read the book the story didn't go how the summary made it seem like it would, but I loved it even more because of it. The book itself was more realistic, more thought out, more just plain down to earth in characters, explanations, and the written world in general. You can't help but to care about the characters and what happens to them.

I've read and re-read this series as many times as time and reading new and hopefully promising books allow, but those times seem to get shorter and shorter. When I saw that this series got it's audible debut it was an instant buy for me.
