Product Description:
The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells--the greatest power is the power to create. Daniel X has that power. Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond what anyone's imagining. From the day that his parents were brutally murdered before of his very eyes, Daniel has used his unique gifts to hunt down their assassin. Finally, with the help of The List, bequeathed to him in his parents' dying breath, he is closing in on the killer. Now, on his own, he vows to take on his father's mission--and to take vengeance in the process.

it's a pretty weak premise overall; daniel x is a 15 year old boy who seeks revenge for his parents. at first, you think it's interesting because the antagonist is this creature that looks like a 6 foot praying mantis, named the "prayer". but then, it gets worse. daniel's powers don't make complete sense and they have some pretty inconsistent limitations. his ability is to create. often times, he "creates" his long dead parents who comfort him, talk to him, give him advice and it just doesn't ...

Rating: - Disappointed
This book is not for adults. Sorry, but it just isn't. The dialogue is very childish, as is the plot resolution. Also, the plot is extremely predictable and the author seems to just simply make up unnecessary things about his world at particular convenience points. The only reason this is getting a 2 star is because the premise is promising, the book was just very poorly written.
Rating:  - I'M A 45-YEAR OLD GUY AND I JUST LOVED THE BOOK!
My very first young adult book reading experience and it was great! I purchased this book simply because of two things: it's another joint venture of JP and ML, and second, the production descriptions on the back cover: In the spirit of the most enduring hit movies and books...this story (is) for readers from ten to a hundred and ten.
I like reading popcorn fictions and DDODX is simply my kinda book. Fast pace, cinematic and a character you root for. While I read the book, I saw it in my ... Read More
Rating:  - Strange and Delightful
Daniel X is just your average fifteen year old, but only if your average fifteen year old is a bona fide Alien Hunter. When Daniel was three his parents were killed by The Prayer, a ruthless praying mantis-like creature from another world. Since then Daniel has made it his life's mission to hunt down The Prayer and all the other evil aliens that are determined to destroy Earth. Armed with nothing more than his unique powers, three not so imaginary friends, and his charming wit, Daniel sets off on ... Read More
