BOY NOBODY

Author:  Allen Zadoff
Genre:  YA Thriller, Boy Nobody Series #1
Published:  2013  
Personal Rating:  3.25/5 (just okay +)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/John Salwin
Yearly Count:  105


A 16-year-old is a boy-assassin.

I was somewhat curious as to what was going to happen in this debut series, but if I had teens, I would't want them to read it.  I'm not exactly sure why I feel that way.  Maybe I wasn't given enough background or persuaded enough to feel sympathetic towards Boy Nobody, so he just seemed too eager (or it was easy for him) to please his "parents."  I'm fairly certain the author was going for the anti-hero character spin, but it didn't fully work for me.  If this is truly a series, I would be willing to read the next in the series to see what develops.
