Convince us to read the book: I am unsure what to think of the book Powerless. It has a fairly decent and original plot. The characters are mildly developed throughout the story. However I think the author could have made the book longer and included more details. In the story the characters live in a world where people have superpowers and are marked as being a hero or a villain. The world sounds very interesting and the author could have done a more detailed explanation of the world and its history. The author has much to improve on in her writing style.
Memorable or Forgettable: The book was mildly entertaining and mildly memorable. However if the characters and world were more developed this could have been one of the better books of the year. When I picked up this book and started reading I had hope that it would be an interesting book to read. However because of the lack of character development and a very predictable story line it did not succeed in being an interesting read. I hope that in the sequel the author can improve upon her lack of character development to create a far better book.
Cover: I hate the cover of this book. It displays an eye with some sort of glimmer/reflection type sparkle. This cover could have depicted any of the much more interesting parts of the story such as a hero using his powers against a villain or the logos of hero and villain. Instead they put a picture of a girl's eye on the cover which poorly reflects the contents of the book.
