I'd say that this book is a tolerable read, but it follows the cliches and stereotypes of the genre much too closely. A bullied, unhappy teen gains access to a powerful force he can wield against his adversaries. I can't say for certain how stereotypical that would have been when first published, but it lacks any pizzazz to make it stand out or be exceptional.
