Daniel X
Did you ever wonder if aliens were real? Did you ever wonder if (or when!) aliens would invade Earth? Now you know. The Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson is about a boy named Daniel X, the Alien Hunter. The book is a book in the Alien Hunter series. He has a thing called The List of Alien Outlaws on Terra Firma (alien word for “earth”) that lists all the aliens down to #1… The Prayer. The giant praying mantis that killed his parents when he was three. There is really only one main character, and that is Daniel X. He has the power of creation, so he can pretty much make things out of his memory appear and disappear at will. The book takes place in the near future (I think?) and on Earth and another planet, called Alpar Nok.
Daniel X is strong, brave, and loving. Strong, because in the book he got shot multiple times but he still stayed strong and… well… ALIVE. Loving, because he can summon friends and family with his mind, and when he does, they technically don’t know that they’re fake– from his mind. But this is why he’s loving… he never actually tells them that they’re fake. Brave, because the whole theme of the book is about how he faced someone in the Top 10 of The List… Ergent Seth. He had NEVER faced someone in the Top 10 of The List.
I really did like this book a lot. Daniel X is really funny! The first sentence of this book is, “If this were a movie instead of real life, this would be the part where in a strange, ominous voice I’d say, ‘Take me to your leader!’” I DEFINITELY recommend this book. I recommend it especially for people who like action blood and all the good stuff. But otherwise, definitely a genuine Fourth Grade level book. This definitely relates to Season 2 of the DC Superheroes show Young Justice. An alien invasion. Part of it takes place on another planet. Yeah. My rating of this book is from this list:
Five stars = I loved it. I want to read it again.
Four stars = I really liked it.
Three stars = It was pretty good.
Two stars = I didn’t like it.
One star = I didn’t like it that much.
This is my rating: ????? = I loved it. I want to read it again.
Introducing the greatest superhero of them all…
