Note: Book reviews often contain minor spoilers (actually, sometimes they
contain major spoilers), but I've done my best to only use non-spoilery
extracts. However, you are advised to follow any links below with caution!

"Packed with extended fighting scenes, soaring flights and vicious battles of wit, Carroll's adventure honors the best of superhero narratives."
  - Kirkus Reviews

"Carroll has created a prequel to his popular Quantum Prophecy series that will have fans cheering." ... "Readers can dive right in without having read the trilogy, but chances are that once they start, they'll want to finish all four books."
  - Booklist

"Balancing abundant action with moments of introspection, Carroll's exuberant prose is just right for setting, story, and characters alike"... "should easily appeal to fans of the X-Men, Justice League, etc."
  - Publishers Weekly

"The plot emerges impeccably, with every detail accounted for and even minor subplots explained in a logical way." ... "This grappling with the ways in which power can be used badly will likely linger with readers even after the details of an epic battle with an ancient reanimated monstrous dude have faded."
  - April Spisak, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"What emerges is a rollicking tale, jam packed full of ubervillains and super charged teen heroes, with enough action and mayhem to engage even the most reluctant young reader. With more than a passing nod to the comic book heroes of old, this entertaining story is just simple good fun."
  - Sandy Amazeen, Monsters & Critics

"The continuous action and entertaining interactions among the teen protagonists will likely win over some fans of superhero comics and adventure novels."
  - Hayden Bass, School Library Journal

"Like Pullman or Rowling, Carroll delivers a rip roaring adventure tale that comic fans of any age will enjoy - and I absolutely guarantee you'll be gagging for the next book once you get to the end of this one."
  - Richmond Clements, Forces of Geek

"Michael Carroll has followed the Gerund Trilogy with a prequel, and this time the book has a supercharged title and an extremely YA-looking cover to match the fast and funny and heartfelt action within."
  - Pink Me

"If you like graphic novels (although this isn't one), if you like stories about super-heroes, if you like a ton of action with fight scenes, then you might want to take a look at Super Human."
  - BC Book Talk

"The series has been an easy sell at work, and I actually had to wait to read the book as it was passed around by a number of the boys before I was able to get my hands on it. It was definitely worth the wait. I am looking forward to more adventures with this new group of teen heroes."
  - Lunar Hunk

"A good choice for middle school boys who just can't get excited for books, this has plenty of action and fight scenes, but is really minimal on gore. Well paced and well written, Carroll does an excellent job with the teens. He writes them in a very realistic light as terrified new superheroes trying to save the world without any adults they can rely on for help or advice."
  - Sbyteens

"I've gotten tired of young protagonists who seem to be able to do things better than adults without any reason. Which is why I'm not very fond of the Young James Bond novels, of which I've read a grand total of two. This is the reason why I liked Artemis Fowl (him being a kid is what allowed him, initially, to make contact with faeries) and Alex Rider (him being a kid is what makes him an unlikely spy). And this is also the reason why I enjoyed Super Human immensely. Because there is a reason. And because everything that happens in the book is well-plotted-and well-planted."
