Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a terrific paranormal story about conspiracy within the government, secret societies and human potential. It's all tied up in a 7 yr old boy. Charlie can read minds and is a new kind of human being. That's why the secret society wants him dead. It has a kind of Stephen King thing to it about the embarrassingly mundane. When Charlie goes into people's head their inner fantasies are pretty much droll. The kid is frustrated with most humans. His therapist dreams of marriage and acceptance of her new boyfriend by her parents, and Charlie gets bored by these concepts. It kind of makes Charlie a little hard to believe at first as a seven year old. His understanding is more complex, or maybe there is too much expository of other characters within the mind reading. It's a minor point though. Charlie grows on you. And the humor within the mind reading is worth suspending any disbelief. And the story is a good thrill ride.
