They needed the perfect assassin.Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school in a new town under a new name, makes a few friends, and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die-of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, moving on to the next target. But when he's assigned to the mayor of New York City, things change. The daughter is unlike anyone he has encountered before; the mayor reminds him of his father. And when memories and questions surface, his handlers at The Program are watching. Because somewhere deep inside, Boy Nobody is somebody: the kid he once was; the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and parents; a young man who wants out. And who just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's mission.In this action-packed series debut, author Allen Zadoff pens a page-turning thriller that is as thought-provoking as it is gripping, introducing an utterly original and unforgettable antihero.

Read this and my other reviews at The Social Potato!Boy Nobody took me by surprise. I saw this yesterday at the bookstore and decided to buy it, but I didn't expect to be absolutely intrigued and to finish it all in one sitting. Imagine, it took me only less than three hours to devour all of it. It...
I'll be on vacation starting June 12th, which is the coming Wednesday and I really want to squeeze in a review before I go AFK, so please excuse this rushed, transcribed-from-my-notes, not-nearly-as-polished-up-as-I-would-like review.First impression: there's too much rambling about how he doesn't h...
Face-paced story; not just in the sense of action and mystery, but in the way it was written. Short sentences, combined with tight chapters and a limited time frame meant the story moved forward so quickly, I was halfway done before I knew it. We're introduced to boy-nobody and for so long you don't...
