Everything will change though as the primary factor of why they have been cast out comes to see them in the form of their youngest brother, and the attitude and personality that is different from the norm.
The Alpha Jan guides us through the darkest side of teenage life through the extremes of agnosticism and zealotry, pride and vanity, popularity and outcast mentality, all within high school society. Fated is a dark view with a little light at the end of the tunnel and the Alpha Jan makes sure to pull your hand all the way through.
Jan-Michael's "Fated", is mundane and sophomoric at best. "Authors", such as this, deter readers from purchasing iuniverse releases. I will admit that I was unable to read the novel in its entirety. I am sure that in third world countries, this publication can be translated (typing errors intact), and read to captives as a form of cruel and unusual torture. Yes, its that awful.

Poorly written, plot is interesting but the writing style and overall composition were so bad I couldn't stand to finish the book.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I followed the link of this book through an ad I read on another website and decided to purchase the book through the publisher. First off, this book is different from most reads. The entire book is written for storytelling but with psychological analysis elements in it. Also, the book is written with no similies. It was entertaining, but I needed to get used to the personfications and metaphors in this book.
I like the plot of two high school teenagers who are brothers, one being an agnostic, proud, and an outcast and the other being a zealot, vain, and popular, and how they live for and against each other. This is a transgressional novel so the situations are bad in general and the solutions to these situations are as bad as well.
I finished the book all the way to the end and believe this is more of a cult-classic. My thoughts were proved by the author's words about his book directed towards those who are on what he calls "The Negative End of Society" which he includes Anarchists, Pluralists, etc. It is also being nicknamed as an "Anarchist Classic" which I found interesting.
All in all, a good read if you want a new direction but if you like books to stay to a specific formula, probably not for you. I will let you know this though. It is intense and ruthless.
