Jan book review

I chose "Alienation A C.H.A.O.S. Novel" By Jon S. Lewis knowing that it was meant for young teens and with my oldest son in mind. It was your typical youth fictional novel in that the teen saves the world even though he's surrounded by adults, police, military etc. It's the second novel in the series and admittedly I didn't read the first but I kept waiting for anything resembling a plot at appear. The whole book seemed like one long segway from novel one to novel three. Perhaps I missed something given that I'm not a 13 year old boy. There was nothing in the story that gave me pause, nothing that would prevent me from handing it over to my children to read. I'm completely at a standstill as to whether to give it my recommendation or not. I feel nothing for or against it therefore I'll say yes to this book for 12 year olds and no for adults. How's that for being non-committal.

BTW, I was given this book free of charge in return for my unbiased opinion.
