Even as a female author, Tracy Alexander manages to convey an authentic sounding male voice and a distinct male way of thinking in Dan something not all authors manage to get right. Plagued by his part in this seeming act of terrorism, Dan has no choice but to go to the authorities, telling them of his involvement and all he knows, an act that will see him thrust into the spotlight and facing the harsh consequences of his actions.įor me, Hacker was a decent read that started out slow, but steadily progressed.
Yet for Dan, he finds himself crossing the line from cyber-geek and cyber-terrorist when a challenge by online peer and fellow "hacker" Angel sees Dan hack into a US drone, only to give the codes required for access to Angel, who takes over and hijacks the dangerous weapon. Somewhat of a recluse, Dan is a cyber-geek with skills able to hack into almost anything, a talent and passion that has helped him out, but also earned him a bit of a reputation.
Sixteen year old British teenager Dan Langley is known to his friends and school mates for his hacking skills. Hacked is Tracy Alexander’s debut novel and is an interesting novel that explores the line between cyber-geek and cyber-terrorist and what happens when one boy crosses the line, with almost tragic results.
Thank you to Scholastic for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!įind this review and more on my blog The Rest Is Still Unwritten! It's funny really because I think i got second hand stress from the event in this book which is a weird feeling to have, especially as that usually happens with a really good book, and I don't think this for me was a 'really good book' maybe just a good book, but I still got the second hand stress and emotional from the book, I think that can be put down to the book being well written which I did feel it was, it was young enough that it felt like really being 16, which is the age of the main character, but it was coherent at the same time. I think for me this book sit's somewhere between: Enjoyed and finished for the sake of reading, I wouldn't say i madly enjoyed this book or that I'd reread it in the future, but it served the purpose of interesting me while I was reading it so that was enough for me. I managed to read this book in one sitting, it's a relatively short book so that wasn't that suprising really, but I'm not really sure how to describe this book or whether I liked it or not.
