 This goes in line with James Patterson's books for the younger reader. If I ever have any kids, this will be one of the stories I'll read to them.

 This book was awful:
Daniel X: "So, basically, my parents are dead, and I have super strength, and speed, and I come up with witty lines, and I have an encyclopedia in my head, so I'm smarter than anybody else in the world, and I think that school is cool, so.... Yeah...."

 I just finished reading Daniel X and must say it was hard for me to 'grasp' the fact that James Patterson wrote this. It's just not his 'cup of tea'. I'm a major 'Alex Cross' fan and am in the process of reading thru the WMC books and have read at least a dozen or more of his other books. Daniel X just doesn't 'read' like a Patterson novel. JP totally went out on a limb with this book. I'm not saying I didn't like the book, in fact, it's a very easy read and I finished it in about 6 hours (I'm a fast reader and will read almost anything). Daniel X was very interesting and kept my interest (except for the fact that I kept thinking "JP wrote this?" It's almost too amateurish for a Patterson book. The concept is good if you're into science fiction

 It was a good story, but I didn't realize it was geared toward youngsters until I already bought it. I did finish it though and enjoyed the story- the voice was a bit too young for me.

 After the Max Ride series and now this, though I liked the first one or two of Max Ride, I believe I have finally come to the conclusion that I'm not particularly a fan of James Patterson. Ridiculous sarcasm and not really that great of a story. Not a terrbile book, but I'm not going to bother reading the series.

 I have read all of James Patterson's books and have loved them all....until this book. It's really far fetched for Patterson....not his typical "whodunnit". I read 20 pages and put it down.

 Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo.com

From the first paragraph of THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X, the reader is intrigued with what is to come. James Patterson, in collaboration with Michael Ledwidge, creates a unique science fiction story that will especially appeal to the younger male population.

Daniel is only three years old when his parents are murdered in the kitchen above him. The murder isn't a typical murder. It's one most of us wouldn't believe. You see, Daniel's parents are murdered by a 6-foot tall praying mantis looking alien, Ergent Seth. Seth has come looking for Daniel's parents because they are Alien Hunters. And they have The List. The List names the most horrific, evil, murderous aliens.

As the story develops, Daniel shares with the reader his thoughts, and, more importantly, his various super abilities. Because, like his parents, Daniel too is an alien. But Daniel is able to blend in with humans. His parents had settled in Kansas, the most unassuming place for them to blend in.

Daniel begins where his parents have left off. Daniel is 15 and has begun to hunt the aliens that are on The List. After a few successes, he decides to take on Ergent Seth. Seth is #6 on the list. Seth is probably more powerful than Daniel, but Daniel has revenge on his side.

Daniel is taken on a wild adventure on his quest to defeat Seth. On his journey, he travels to Alpar Nok, the home planet of people like him, Alien Hunters. The biggest surprise is when he discovers his grandmother is still alive. But Daniel is determined to be victorious over Seth and continues on. Seth warns him it will be a battle to the death for one of them, but Daniel will not give up. The battle that ensues is imaginative, though maybe a bit gross in its description in the final scenes.

With definite appeal to the teen boy audience, girls and adults alike will also enjoy the unique change of pace that James Patterson has taken with THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X. The action moves quickly as Daniel faces his greatest challenge. But of course, as one can expect with James Patterson, a sequel is not far behind: DANIEL X: WATCH THE SKIES in August 2009. And if you can't wait that long, check out the graphic novel: DANIEL X: ALIEN HUNTER.
