Review of Michael vey
Michael Vey Prisoner Of Cell 25
Book Review
By Yaaresh Ferzandi

The book I read was Michael Vey The Prisoner Of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans. This book was an action, adventure based young-adult fiction and it is based in modern day California. It revolves around a boy named Michael Vey and his two friends Ostin and Taylor. While Michael might seem like a loser to people because he is skinny and does not talk much he actually is the most powerful being on earth. He can transmit electricity through anything that can conduct it including humans! The book is mainly about how Michael has powers and has to hide them until his mother is abducted and he goes to find her but also finds out about other kids like him and there is this organization that uses them in a plan to control the world. The adventure is mostly told through the point of view of Michael but occasionally switches to a 3rd person view of the whole surrounding.

I think that the author forges sentences that put you in the room and make you feel the pain and the frustration of the characters. The author perfectly mixes the real world with the abnormal events that happen to Michael Vey. The author starts out with a mysterious call between two men talking about blowing up a commercial airliner, which automatically sucks the reader into the book. It then transitions to the story of this boy named Michael Vey and while it all might seem perfectly normal the author then throws a curveball and introduce the powers that this boy possesses.

The thing that I did not like is how he stalled the story after that. He introduced the fact that this skinny 14 year old kid can fry a person by simply touching them and then goes on to describe his boring day at school. Who does that? Although it annoyed me at first I was grateful that Richard Paul Evans (the author) did that with the story. If he did not we would have never met Taylor the crush in Michael's life. Who we later find out has the ability to

    This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy. This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

    Michael unlocked all the doors to set free the others with powers just like him. They greeted each other and explain what power they have. But for Michael still he felt depress because he couldn’t save his mother. But Taylor gave a kiss on the Michael’s cheek to help him cheer up. Michael blushed and said thanks but still he felt depressed. Ostin asked him if he as feeling alright but Michael just replied by giving a smile. After several minutes, they decided to call Taylor’s parents. But before leaving calling, Ostin made an announcement that all the others with powers have joined the Electro Clan. After 30 minutes, there were cops, SWAT team, and Taylor’s parent outside. The cops arrested the guards that were shocked and Taylor’s parent came in to see Taylor. When the cops came they took the other with powers first to a hospital to check if they are hurt. Then suddenly a man in a tuxedo came and it was the president. He greeted Taylor, Michael, and Ostin and thanked them for saving the others. Also before leaving, Micahel heard a button and on the screen on the computer shows that there is one room that is still locked. All of these thoughts got into Michael, “Is that my mother?” Michael told the cops to come to the second floor to open the door. When they arrived the cops got a metal stick and broke the air locked room. Michael immediately opens the door and he couldn’t believe it. It was his mother! He picked her up, she wasn’t moving at all and so they ran to the ambulance outside. An hour later in the hospital, the doctor said “I’m sorry Michael she couldn’t make it.” Michael exploded with rage and surged with all his strength. The hospital exploded into flames and everyone died including Michael and the others with powers.…

    2. I find it hard to believe that so many unique situations occurred in what the book seems to portray as a one day’s work. I do not necessarily think the characters are not real and believable, but some of the stories seem way out of ordinary. I can relate mostly to all of the terminal patients with cancer, as I see many of these patients working in the recovery room. It is not uncommon to receive patients from the operating room that were open and closed because there was not much that could be done for them.…

    When I first started this book I had an idea that it was going to be really emotional and the boy was depressed for reasons because of home life, or just a sickness he couldn’t understand. But when it started out as such raw thoughts of a male teenage boy, I was completely caught off guard by how honest it was. It started out with his thoughts about the bathroom doors and the fact that he likes that he could lock himself in there if he wants to be alone. That alone speaks volumes about his personality. And then when his mother was talking to him and you could tell that they do not have a close relationship. She seems absent minded about his behavior. And the fact that he is putting his hands up girl’s shirt on the bus also says he has no filter as to right and wrong and thinks that that is okay to do. So overall the first pages of the book took me very much by surprise. It’s scary when he starts to discuss all the ways he has tried to kill himself and why they haven’t worked. My group and I decided that these suicide thoughts have been going on for quite some time If he is still considering killing himself after so many failed attempts.…

    I always loved a novel with a good twist. Some of the characters in this one are bringing the plot at one point or another that makes you wanna bite your nails. Besides that this is a great book with a storyline that unravels slowly before it becomes truly interesting. But lets not write all the details since then you wouldnt have to read it. I am impressed with author vision of certain things that are making this piece unique. For starters it looks like you have some ordinary characters from good criminal plot. It is the way Donovan Creed adds these little details that would by and come back after as a boomerang when you realize what is going on. No wonder his books are on the top lists. My closure is that you dont want to miss this masterpiece.…

    Michael Vey was the main character in a book I read called “Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25” that I enjoyed a lot. The book tells a story of a boy who lives with his mother in Idaho. He has a very special power, the ability to shock people. But, he uses it for good by fighting evil. From zapping three bullies at school to “the rise of the Electroclan”. The main character, Michael, would be a good role model for seventh grade students because he is smart, curious and cautious.…

    The book is riveting, but never melodramatic. There is just enough tension in the conflict between man and nature to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Junger never tries to saturate his readers with so much emotion that they roll their eyes in disgust. He makes the fear and desperation realistic and believable. Often it is so genuine that it is hard to put the book down.…

    The author writes this story in a passive tone as if to explain the story as a narrator. The author uses a sarcastic tone to switch up the story a little to keep the reader interested. The level of formality in the story is one you would expect as if you were reading a novel or some exquisite writing. The author uses the literal language as the primary explanation to most of the scenarios in question. She used simple and understandable sentences in her story as a pathway for the reader to understand where the story is coming from.…

    The first thing I noticed about Mistry 's writing style is his incredible ability to make you feel like you 've actually shifted to another country, another continent even. His descriptive ability allowed me to imagine so many little details in the book, the smell of the street, the loud, boisterous vendors screaming their slogans as pedestrians walk by. You really get to feel as if you are witnessing the events as they unfold. The first part of the book explained the story but then it promptly switched to brief histories of each of the main characters before introducing them to the main plot. Mistry gives you the diverse backgrounds of all the main characters, using his beautifully descriptive language to make even simple things brilliant. The story takes place in an "unnamed City by the Sea" somewhere in India, exploring the lives of four very different people. Mistry creates characters that come from a very different world than I 'm used to, making the story all the more interesting for me. Mistry included many cultural references in the story that I looked up so that I knew a little more about the basis of the story. Before I had read this novel I had no knowledge of the State of Emergency (having been born after it took place) so I found reading about it from the perspective of a person experiencing it, very informative.…
