"Steelheart" by Brandon Sanderson

On one hand, I am totally burned out on Dystopian fiction, on the other hand, this was really, really good.   Be forewarned ... this is dark.  Very dark.  In the first chapter we see a super-powered being blow people away, indiscriminately, with the author providing very "specific" detail.  That begins a tale of death, destruction and revenge and very, very big guns.  Teen readers will love the high action, smart deductions by our hero and unexpected twists.  This is superheroes gone bad, but told in a very engaging, clever and somewhat original way.  It's easy to see why the novel has been living on the New York Times bestseller list and is showing up on nearly every recommended list of books this year.  It is a tale that sticks with you, one that, at its core, strongly echoes the saying "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."  Deeply told, with an original voice and vision, there is a sequel on the way, so read it soon.
