Average rating3.5
Ethan (A.K.A. Scam) has a way with words. When he opens his mouth, whatever he wants you to hear is what comes out next. But Ethan isn't just a smooth talker. He has an actual power--an ability to say things he doesn't even consciously know. Pick up a cute girl? His voice will tell her everything he loved about her favorite singer's most obscure recording. Looking for a ride home? His voice references a mutual friend to a stranger. Sometimes the voice helps, but sometimes it hurts--like when that stranger ends up being on the way to a drug deal and Ethan's lies bring him into a massive mess culminating in a bank robbery gone wrong. So Ethan needs rescue, stat.

I was super happy to see that Mr Westerfeld was coming out with a new book. Unfortunately, his last book, Afterworlds, was really disappointing and sits unfinished on my DNF pile. Zeroes, however, did not disappoint. It introduced a rag tag team of teenagers with unconventional superpowers. Just my kind of story! The characters are relatable and well described, the writing was easy to read and engaging, and the story was relatively fast-paced and not like anything I've read before. Suffice to say, I can't wait until the sequel! 4/5 stars
