Review: Cool, but...
Rating: 3 out of 5

"Tracers", in one word, was underwhelming.Which was really disappointing because I found this novel's version of time travelers...cool. And yet, even the time-travelling part was at the minimum (I was actually hoping for many timey-wimey scenarios).I'd say that the weakest link is the writing. The narrator - teenage Jerry Daniels - has a very noobish voice and unfortunately it seeps out to the rest of the text, which was rough and messy. He probably wasn't a good choice of narrator or perspective (first-person). For example, in the midst of an action-packed and suspenseful scene, a random "OMG" or "LOL" would come up and ruin the momentum.In all fairness, it looks like the author's first book so maybe things will improve in the sequel (book one ends in a cliffhanging twist!)
