Superhighway by Alex Fayman is the first book in the series of the Superhighway triology. This story is about the protagonist Alex who loses both of his parents soon after his birth. He grows up in an orphanage and learns good moral ethics from a good caretaker. With the facilities available at the orphanage, he grows up as a bright student and also develops his interest especially in the field of computer science.

Alex discovers his ability to teleport himself through any computer network cable from one place to another place wherever there is an internet connection. He discovers this accidentally for the first time he touches a network cable of a computer with his bare hand at the orphanage. He suddenly passes through the network cable and lands at a different place. He gradually becomes an expert in his teleporting skill and uses it as a tool to search for his parents. He uses his talents to hack the bank accounts of the antagonists through the internet and gets money for his work. He insists with himself for a justification for not doing anything unethical. Alex commits some big blunders due to his impulsive actions and repents later for those actions.

This book is only for those having an interest in science fiction. The teleportation is imaginary and hard to achieve in the near future. The book has a good flow, and it captivated me so much that I could not put it down until I finished reading it. The characters are well crafted, and most of the times things go smoothly in the plot. All the scenes are enjoyable except the one in which the goons brutally kill a receptionist of the hotel at which Alex stays. I felt a little disturbed by this unwanted scene. The author describes the food that Alex eats when he travels to the different places in a mouth-watering style.

The story sounds like a daydream or a wishful thought. One should mind this to make the reading enjoyable. It may not be that interesting to read otherwise. I felt it a little weird when the story gives unbelievable reasons for some recently occurred across the world. As this book is based on a fictional story, so I feel that one should never mind the fictitious links and the incorrect logic behind it.

I appreciate the author’s concept of writing which engages the reader by creating some curiosity in the plot. This book has negligible grammatical errors, but I am not happy with one of the scenes in the story. Taking into consideration my likes and dislikes, I decided to rate this book with 3 out of 4 stars.

Great review Sanju! I'm not a fan of science fiction so I won't be reading this book. I'm sorry one of the scenes failed to impress you though. Thank you for your thoughtful review :)

I also read and reviewed this book. I agree with you about one (or more) disturbing scenes, but overall I found it to be enjoyable. Being able to travel through the internet is such an interesting concept!

A lot of times I'll find a book with a lot of problems, but the narrative is so good, it holds my attention and keeps me interested. I too was unimpressed with a lot of the action scenes, but the writing kept me glued.

Alex reminds me of both Spiderman and Flash Gordon in terms of his superpowers. He, however, reminds me of Robin Hood based on his characteristics. Thank you for a lovely review sanjus.

Thank you for the detailed review! I like the sound of this book so I'm going to give it a try. It's too bad about some of the scenes that you mentioned, but hopefully I'll be able to read those with a blind eye :techie-studyingbrown:
