A good read. - Rated
If you like character studies and prefer character development to lots of pointless fighting and such, then you should enjoy this book. It focuses mailnly on Jean (Pheonix), Scott (Cyclops), Logan (Wolverine), Rogue and Kurt (Nightcrawler). These five go on a mission and end up having their minds and bodies switched with complete strangers and being held in a mental institution. Behind the bizzare plotline this is actually a pretty intense and intelligent story and gives nsight to the characters that you usually don't get with other X-Men novels. I enjoyed it thoroughly and was glad I had decided on a whim to buy it. It does have quite a few adult themes so if your into the fighting and stuff then I wouldn't reccomend it to you, otherwise give it a go.
