Michael Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans


reviewed by Jonathan K.
Grade 8

"My name is Michael Vey, and there's something you don't know about me; something that scares people more than you would believe. It's my secret......" There is something special about Michael Vey, something that nobody knows.

Michael Vey lives an average life with his mother in Idaho. He goes to school, does his work, and overall does all right. Michael's journey truly explains the term, "self-confidence." That "special" thing about Michael leads him down a treacherous road. In the end, Michael finds his inner self, and that treacherous road becomes more treacherous.

I like the setting of this book because it is in a secluded location. It makes you think that not much would happen in a small town. An example of this is how Michael is able to hide his "special abilty" from everbody else.

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone. It is an exciting read because of the author's word choice. The words that he used triggered something in my brain that made me want to keep reading. It was very interesting.
