Saving The World Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be.

The book is a fictional account of what happens when a group of college kids wake up one day with superpowers.

Here's a few details:

A Group of college kids have a party one night and the next morning wake up with superpowers. The story follows this kids as they learn to control their powers and start use them in their local town. They get police and media attention and it starts to fall apart soon. Power failings and innocent people getting hurt are just the start. The power set are: super strength, super speed, telepathy, invisibility and flight. The story is told in the backdrop of the summer of 2001/

The book is written as a non-ficitional account, the author (a minor charactor) tells the story in the third person, but will shift into first person for a short chapter to explain more or to give his opinion. The story reads well and the charactors feel real and flawed.

Recommened? Yes, quick to read and easy to follow.
