Book Reviews of Powers
Book Review: Great read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a book, one that would satisfy my craving for a really good book. (Lately, its been hard to find a good author). And then when I stumbled on this page, I got a subtle sense that I had landed on something rare and wonderful. Boy was I right!!
This book is awesome! It's written in alternating narations. Very entertainging, a bit of suspense, very fast-paced, three dimensional characters. Did I mention they have psychic powers? What I like most is the characters. Not all authors can develop their characters quite as well as Jacobs has done. Her characters have basic tragic flaws, are very human, very relateable, and very realistic. Adrian for example (dont worry, i'm not spoiling it for you,) acts and thinks like a real teenage guy. Jacobs has a real TALENT for creating multi-dimensional characters.
There is a subtle romance involved. It's interesting to see how this aspect intertwines with the book - making it more amusing and humourous. Now, I cant spoil it by telling you how it happens. You'll just have to trust me.
Overall, I couldnt think of a flaw in the book except that it reads quite fast. (Around two or three sittings). Nevertheless, this flaw does not hinder the book's plot or character development. I liked it so much. Perhaps the author can make a sequel, eh?
Summary of Powers
When Gwen and Adrian meet, they unlock each other?s latent psychic powers. It?s too bad they can?t stand each other, don?t trust each other, and do everything they can to manipulate each other. Will they use their powers to save lives? Or will it destroy them both? Written in alternating voices, this is a compelling, suspenseful novel about power in all its forms?psychic, physical, sexual, romantic.
