review 1: I kept wavering between 3 and 4 stars for Nickel Plated. On one page I would be highlighting quotes I like and by the next page it would read somewhat choppy. Nevertheless, the unique storyline kept me intrigued and I ended up liking the story very much. To those negative reviews regarding how unbelievable they think a 12 year old is I say: This is fiction meant to entertain. Enjoy the fantasy the storyteller has created. Regardless of Nickel's age, his character is likable and believable. As for me, this unique story has piqued my interest enough to read more Aric Davis as soon as possible.
review 2: This one is probably my fault. It was a creative story about a kid-noir detective who escaped the bonds of child slavery sexual abuse and is seeking revenge on al
... morel adults who would ever hurt children.It's a pretty interesting premise and the plot itself was actually pretty solid.But not for one minute could I suspend my disbelief that a 12-year-old kid would be able to pull any of this off. He grows pot, swindles adults in chatrooms for spending cash, trains in jiu jitsu, builds explosives and thinks with a problem solving capacity most adults don't have until they are middle aged and been around the block a few times. Couple all that with a few bits of extra cheesy dialogue and you have a book I wish I would've skipped. less

I didn't think I would like a kid detective but it really worked. Cool book.

Another good YA. Finding your own solutions at a very young age.
