I just looked at the negative review for this book and truly it is irritating to see people say,  "Oh, it's a good book...but I spotted a couple of editing issues so I'm going to mark it down and lower its rating." Really? Come on.This is a fabulous book. (And, I don't remember any editing issues and I'm a professional editor, but it may be that I was so engaged with it that, geez, I didn't notice them or I'm not as eagle eyed as I think I am. No matter.)The author posits an interesting world and introduces us to characters who may or may not make it in this world. He follows them through their first year of college (for super powereds). The characters are individuals who experience real growth and real conflict that Hayes handles with authority. The moral conundrum is meaningful.This is really a terrific book and if there is a typo or two, so what? I liked it enough that I bought the second one in the series...which was just as good. So, if you can manage to read an occasional paragraph with a typo without your head exploding and if you like really fine writing and interesting characters and themes that are engaging and even compelling, then get it.
