Summary: book review
Review: When it comes to behaving good, middle school student Martin Anderson can't shut up while he ignores the advice from adults with smart answers and insults. He has been expelled from six different schools, the boy scouts, and his baseball league. He rides the bus to the last place any parent would send his child...the prison-like Edgeview Alternative School, a school used to lock up the violent and other losers. Martin realizes he must be on the cutting edge to survive the pushing around of bully Bloodbath and the shock therapy of Warden Davis. On the plus side, Martin meets four strange friends each possesing special psychic powers. Torchy lights fires without matches or lighters, Cheater copies test answers from anyone sitting anywhere, Lucky can steal anything, and Trash can put stuff in the trash. Martin believes that his only power is what he would say is "satirical tongue". The five losers group up together as Martin discovers his hidden talents and try to stop a plan to shut the school of last resort down.This is a really good book, but some times in the middle of the story you can get lost because it spends too much time on one topic. I would recommend this book to any reader 12 years old to 17 years old because it has some material that those age groups can relate to.

Summary: Hidden Talents: Hidden Boredom!!!
Review: When you first start reading Hidden Talents, you'll think, "Wow, this is such an good book!" but then, as many as 10 pages into the book, you realize that this book will satsisfy nothing in your mind, or anything for that matter. Hidden Talents is a fun book but much to boring for my likings, and no I did not like it. Read it if you're bored, and don't care if you elapse into a state of being REALLY bored. And that, my friend, is not good.
