Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

By: Richard Paul Evans

Narrated by: Fred Berman

My name is Michael Vey, and the story I'm about to tell you is strange. Very strange. It's my story."

To everyone at Meridian High School, Michael Vey is an ordinary 14-year-old. In fact, the only thing that seems to set him apart is the fact that he has Tourette's syndrome. But Michael is anything but ordinary. Michael has special powers. Electric powers.

Michael thinks he's unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor also has special powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up this way, but their investigation brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric children - and through them, the world. Michael will have to rely on his wits, powers, and friends if he's to survive.

Good story for adults, GREAT for youth

I found Michael Vey: the Prisoner of Cell 25 entertaining, but not a compelling book which I'll recommend to my friends. I would recommend the book for a teenager though. Interesting story while exemplifying great morals.

Great start to a great series!!

What did you love best about Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25?

The whole story line. It was very interesting the amount of different gifts all the kids had.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Austin!!! I loved his enthusiasm, and his random knowledge of EVERYTHING!!

What about Fred Berman’s performance did you like?

His many character voices. I love the way he made Taylor/Tara sound. So preppy and girly ;)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, nothing too extreme

great story

great family book to listen to on a road trip
but download book 2 also

Wow! 🤩⚡️

One of the best books I’ve ever purchased. Incredible performance, story, and everything in between. I pray I can be this masterful as I write my book. 10/10, definitely continuing this series!

Very nice!

Any additional comments?

Well developed characters and great plot. Nicely done. The book is obviously the first of a series so it ends with some major conflicts unresolved. A little disappointing that the next book isn't available yet on Audible, but I hope it will be soon.

Great New Series!

Well written and narrated. The characters are engaging and the storyline keeps you hooked. I look forward to the continuation of this series by Richard Paul Evans!

Fun Ride From Beginning to End!

This is a fun, gripping, adventure story from start to finish. Perfect for adults and kids. I love the narrator, too. He does an excellent job of giving each character a unique voice and portraying their personalities.

It is the best!

I read this book and didn't want to read anything else. Then TRYED reading something else

Fun story

I had my doubts about this book when I first started it, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the story. Worth reading.

Outstanding

Glad that I have started late in the series because I will no be able to wait a year in between titles :)
