Review: Charlotte Powers
Rating: 3 out of 5

It is rare to find any supehero books that aren't painfully similar to a film script or a play-by-play of dialogue and cliché KA-POW punches. This, however, is an odd combination of stream-of-conscious anxieties and high-flying save-the-world goals written by an overzealous, nave teenaged girl in her wristwatch computer diary. It meanders through seemingly pointless and confusing complications at a bizarre boarding school full of emotionless teenagers. Despite the confusing, messy life of Charlotte Powers, the climax comes in with a bang--of explanation and action. Fun to read, great action at climax, and interesting superhero references. Certainly excited to read the next in the series.
