Book Review By Michael Jung
Speeding Bullet by Neal Shusterman

Nick Herera never thought of himself as anyone special. His grades are below-average, his job credentials are non-existent, and his social life is nil. But when Nick saves a little girl from a subway train, his brief moment in the media spotlight deludes him into believing he is superhumanly lucky. He begins intentionally putting himself in dangerous situations, so he can rescue people and become a celebrity hero. But luck only lasts so long and soon Nick must face the inevitable consequences when his luck runs out.
