Zeroes Book Review

Zeroes - Scott Westerfeld, Deborah Biancotti, Margo Lanagan

As per usual, a book that is over 500 pages is just too long. Especially considering this is the start of another series, and sigh, I'm tired of series in young adult literature. While overall, I enjoyed Zeroes there were too many characters and everything happened because of one selfish, stupid act which was easily annoying and frustrating. 

 

They are zeroes not hero's. Several teenagers have these special powers, including Ethan, Flicker, Nate, and many more. But they aren't hero's but they're not villains either. They're practically invisible. But when Ethan's voice gets out of control in a bank robbery things spiral out of control for the zeroes. They are forced to work together against an angry mobster, the police and everyone who has seen the video.

 

 This was enjoyable for the most part. I just really wish there weren't as many characters. I'll probably read the next one to see if it gets any better.
