If it's been a longtime since you've sat down to read a really fun adventure “Kevin's Point of View” will give you the rush you've been looking for. Not only will you flip through the pages eagerly, you will enjoy the experience through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy. With an imagination the size of a skyscraper, Kevin will bring you into his world of superheroes and avengers.

Kevin Tobin and his best friend Tony DiViette are not strangers to trouble. Kevin's mother is completely exhausted from Kevin's vivid imagination and shenanigans. Kevin's daydreams have helped him escape since the death of his father, he has had a hard time coping. As a result of the trouble Kevin gets Tony into, Mrs. DiViette has restricted Tony from hanging out with Kevin because he always seems to get hurt. In this latest adventure the two boys meet with danger yet again.

This time the danger is real for Kevin and Tony. It all started on a rainy day involving a package that William “Pudge” Lovejoy was supposed to mail to Devin Talon. You see, Devin and Pudge had spent many months working on a device that would allow a person to travel through time. The device, no bigger than a television remote control, had a few bugs that needed to be worked out. It was Pudge who decided to mail it back to Devin, after he took it away because of the danger. Unfortunately, the rain soaked package soon caused the address to bleed away resulting in the delivery ending up at the doorstep of Kevin.

The adventure begins with the boys discovery of the devices dangerous qualities and the hunt that Devin brings on attempting to get his precious device, the Influxitron, back. Devin's men, dressed in black, hunt the kids through the mountains and into a mine. Kevin and Tony use their wits and superhero stunts to out run them for the time being. Will Kevin and Tony survive the stormy weather, mountains and mines? Will the boys get help with their own rescue? You'll have to read this wonderful tale to find out.

This exciting adventure is an excellent choice for reluctant middle grade readers and adults. Shannon has done an excellent job of providing vivid imagery, expressive emotion and a point-of-view that will have you holding your breath and cheering for Kevin and Tony.

A wonderful and fast paced book. Aimed for a middle grader target audience. This book was a rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns. The end (which I will not reveal) was unexpected. I think most 10-14 year old boys will relate to Kevin. I just love his imagination!
I recommend this book for all kids that like sci-fi, humor and wild crazy adventures.
I want to thank Del Shannon for allowing me to read and review this book. Please, let there be more adventures for Kevin!!!

This is an adventurous book. Kevin is a 12 year old boy suffering mentally from the death of his father one year ago. He daydreams and becomes heroes. The heroes help his get through the tough times in his life.

He receives a mysterious package in the mail. It has been misaddressed. The person it was intended to go to is a villain. He wants to use the "Influxitron" to change the course of the world forever. He tracks the package to Kevin and his friends and will stop at nothing to get it, and kill them in the process.

Full of fun adventure.

Kevin's Point of View was one of those strange books that grabbed me at the beginning and then confused me a little. I decided to hang in with the reading thinking it was my inability to focus due to intermittent reading while I tried to prepare for company. I'm glad I stuck with it. The books starts out with Kevin having a delusional moment. He's lost his father in the past year and is having an extremely hard time dealing with it. Counseling doesn't seem to help. Then we switch to a device called an Influxitron. Kevin has received this mysterious gift and doesn't know what it is or who it is from. The device is dangerous and suddenly Kevin and his best friend, his sister and her boyfriend all find themselves being pursued by someone who is evil. I will stop there because to try to explain anymore will give it away. I will tell you that I was totally blown away by the ending. The twists and turns this book took kept me reading and I did not expect the ending at all. For me it is a gift when an author can write so that you think one thing and then bam you are hit with something you weren't expecting. I was asked to read and review this e-book and I want to thank the author for allowing me the opportunity. It truly was an awesome book.… (mehr)
