REVIEW

Copernicus H. Stringfellow better known as Nick Stringfellow is a weird guy, he is very intelligent, he is the smartest you may have ever come across, has more PhDs than the normal day-to-day person (around 18 to be exact) and carries large wads of cash saying it is easier for him. But he also has a big secret, he can make things happen if he concentrates very hard and also is a twinkie addict.....wow did you just read that....he is a telekinetic...cool ability if you ask me.

Due to good reason he had never settled anywhere permanently and doesn't really trust anyone with his secret, even his friends only know the surface of it all. Nick lost his mother when he was but a child and his father ran away, so with guidance, he began to strictly follow the rule of the famous Spiderman lines "With great power comes great responsibiloty"....very wise and very true. But maybe it is time he settle down and start a family of his own.

This is a very different story than the one's I have read so far amd Nick, our protagonist has all the qualities of being a good person and an ideal hero but the book had too much dialogues and very less descriptions in it making it a little difficult to follow the narrative but it definitely is a book worth checking out.

"Nick makes you see the beauty of giving and asking nothing but friendship in return"
