What are the events and experiences that make you who you are? With Evan, he has always been Orphan X. He has never experienced what his life could have been if he was never put in the system. As Evan stumbles through domestic life, he gets to be in a new “training ground” he has yet to fully experience in his sessions with Jack.
In Prodigal Son, Evan gets to confront someone who had the power to completely alter his life. Throughout the book, Evan grapples with this persons decision, and he is faced with his own internal battle of how to live with this.
It seems like every book, Gregg Hurwitz increases the ante for Evan. However, I can’t even begin to wrap my head around what Evan goes through in this novel! Hurwitz always adds a level of heart wrenching story line to all of his Orphan X novels, but he outdid himself here. We get the technical aspect that we’ve come to know and love, but we get this amped up level of gut wrenching in this installment. On top of all that, get ready for the ending! Although this will not be the first time I say this...the next Orphan X novel can not come fast enough!
