This book was recommended to me by friend and coworker. It has a "Harry Potter" kind of feel to it, but a little more grown up. There is some really great humor that actually made me laugh out loud.

If I had to describe this book to someone, I would say that it's about a powerful kid who is too cocky for his own good and puts himself into some sticky situations while trying to find out more information about the murder of his parents.

Initially, I wasn't excited about Nick Podehl as the narrator of this novel. I'm in the middle of listening to The Wheel of Time and I have certain voice expectations of my high-fantasy, however, after the first couple chapters, I was fully sold with the narration. Podehl did a great job.
