I was invited to read this book by the author for free and found it to be really good. It is kind of similar to the graphic novel version of Scott Pilgrim at first but then takes on a different approach reminds me of a lot of Marvel and DC comics characters but more of an overall teenage vibe like Percy Jackson. This is one you will either love or hate depending on if you like comic books like I do. I really enjoyed it and am glad I read it though right now I am in a Horror mood this was a nice little break and an enjoyable read. Best of luck and thanks for sharing this with me. I look forward to reading the future installments.

I found this book to be quite enjoyable. It is a mood-lightening book because it is a little quirky. I look forward to the sequels.

This is a great superhero book. The dialogue between characters reminded me of shows like Buffy, Veronica Mars, Chuck, etc., which was great - funny and entertaining. If there's one thing I'd knock this book down for is the prevalent flashbacks because it slowed the pace (I would only mark it down a half star.) It happened all the way up until the end of the book when the action really went full force. I would recommend to anyone who likes superhero comics/movies and action/adventure stories.

Books like this are why I read and listen to YA well into adulthood. The story is entertaining and well-told. The characters feel real (I remember kids like these in high school, minus the super powers, of course). Ted makes a wonderful hero, a good guy who steps up when called. And the villains are deliciously wicked.

Fun story. Somewhat creative worldbuilding. The villains and good guys weren’t something I’ve seen a million times. The powers and such also were fun and original.
Funny one-liners and such. Some good characters.
Though, also some mediocre characters, some predictable plot developments, and the writing voice wasn’t the best.
Overall, I enjoyed it.

Looking foward to reading more about Ted Finley. GREAT fun,clean read suitable for readers of all ages. Im a mom of two teenagers and I read parts of TSTW to them( they laughed when Ted's parents question him regarding his Super Powers and said it sounded like me) My fifteen y.o. thinks it would make a good movie and even asked to read it (WOW, he usually only reads the sports section or assigned reads!) Oh and it's free! I usually read at least 3 books a week and very rarely write a review, but this book was fun,free and made my son want to pick it up, so try it you may like it.

Not a very creative book title is it?

This is YA/middle grade fiction at its best. Tongue-in-cheek humor, unexpected super-powers, internet fame, scary threats to the world, and a trio of wholly human, honest, confusing and awkward teens at the center of it all.
Of course, when Natalie breaks up with Ted, the trio could fall apart. But Dhiraj might get brave enough to ask Jennifer out. And then there’s Erika, but she’s... Well, you’ll have to read it to find out what's happened to her. Suffice it to say, when blue light shines over your skin, your whole perception of reality might change.
With wholly age-appropriate attractions, real-world dangers combining with immortal combat, high school terrors contrasted with nightmares dreamed at the end of the world, or on the computer screen, Ted Saves the World presents an awkward, inept, intelligent teen with some seriously scary choices, and keeps the reader glued to the page as the story reveals itself. Of course, there are still lots of questions to be answered when the tale comes to an end. This is a convincing, exciting, and really enjoyable standalone novel, with a whole wealth of mysteries to fuel a series too. It's highly recommended.
Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.

A world worthy read!!! 5 stars
“What the hell are you? I’m Ted!” No matter how many times I read that one line, I crack up! It sets the stage for the rest of the book and everything that follows. As Bryan’s first novel, Ted Saves the World it is a great one! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It is pegged as a YA novel but will appeal to all ages who are looking for a great read. You follow Ted, who is basically just your “average geeky, shy awkward teen” become way more than he ever dreams about & as he comes to realize that it is not all it is cracked up to be! He has help from his best friend Dhiraj who is like a combination of Bill Gates and Donald Trump all rolled into one, his girlfriend/ex-girlfriend Natalie and Erica who was his next door neighbor (and the girl of his dreams) who has been missing and presumed dead and “magically” comes back from the grave, but now has a warrior housed inside of her. This book has it all - comedy, fighting, romance, magic, time travel and junk food. Hey, it is a book with teenagers in it! Point is, this is a great novel to be enjoyed by all! But don’t take my word for it, buy & read it for yourself!

Def a YA based book but despite not being a YA myself, I still enjoyed it.
