Was tempted by the superheroes, but I am so far from being the ideal audience for Lupica. I immediately could not take this book seriously. Probably because I'm not ten.Personal Response:In my opinion this was not the best of Mike Lupica's works, but it was still a good book. He tried to branch off from all of his sports books and make something new. This book does feel like it deserves a second book. It was well written for someone who would stick to the traditional sports books. I think that Mike Lupica should write more of his sports books but also do some more of these types of books. I would also love to have a second book in the series.Plot:Zach is a
6TH RESPONSE:I am currently reading Hero by: Mike Lupica. So far this book is about a young 14 year old named Zach. His father dies in an airplane crash delivering the Rat, (a bad guy,) to someone whos been looking for him for a long time. Zach comes home one day and his entire family that lives in his location, is at his house with sad and serious faces. Right then Zack knows he will never be seeing his father again. His school friend, Kate, father has already died also. She knows how to handle
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars, because I didnt understand it and it was confusing. I also didnt like it, because it was more of a fantasy book. My first reason, why I didnt like is because It wasnt what I expected. Mike Lupia usually writes sports books and this one were completely off topic, about superpowers. My first quote was on page 121. Mr. Hebert said, Dont be afraid boy, you have magic too, this quote was from when Zach figured out he had superpowers. I found this confusing because
Zach Harriman was a normal teenage boy, he is 14 or 15, I can't remember but I think its something of that number. He thought he had a normal life, but one day, he ran up to his apartment and all his family members were there, crying. He knew his father was gone. The only thing he wanted was his father because he had never really spent much time with his dad. Zach wanted to investigate his father's death because he knew his dad was close to the President of the United States. Zach had made a
I was really expecting more. I just kept waiting and waiting for the book to get good or better.... Did NOT happen. As for action and descriptive writing, this book is a total let down. MIKE - keep to the sports novels. War and Peace would have taken less time to read than this - I just needed to get to the end to confirm it was that bad. It was like sitting in a theater going - really??? My dad was a hero and led a secret life that we didn't know about.... Blah blah blah.....He dies - or was
