Colt O'brien doesn't think that he has to prove anything. He is the most savvy computer technician at Highline High in Burien, Washington. When a PC needs fixing, Colt is called in to save the day. The short, energetic senior, with his bright, colorful attire and cocky attitude, knows that he is the best. He expects the respect that is showered upon him by peers and teachers. School will soon be over and freedom beckons. No more girl friend to tell him what to do. No more schoolwork to bore him to death. Colt is cruising through senior year, but his life is about to be turned upside down. Two freshman nerds start a computer class that will put Highline High on the map and challenge Colt's credibility. Three women will show him the meaning of love. One will show him the meaning of hate. And, his hidden psychic powers will emerge when he least expects them to. Hang on Colt.
Colt O'Brien Sees The Light Young Colt O'Brien Book 1 eBook George Cole
Colt O'Brien is short, and it bothers him. He is aggressive, a good soccer player, and can't seem to please his father in any way. In his efforts to stand out, he wears vividly coloured clothing. He is a senior at high school and has a twin sister who seems to do no wrong in their father's eyes. Four things compensate for his father's lack of understanding: his sister's and mother's support and love, his natural ability to fix computers, his friends, and the support of his principal. There is one other thing that sometimes is a help and sometimes a hindrance. He has a psychic sensitivity, as does his mother. His father, on the other hand, is not able to show his pride nor support, leaving Colt to feel invisible to him.This book is unique in its format. Each chapter begins with an email. The interplay between the characters is important in understanding what Colt is all about. George Matthew Cole is able to channel in to some of the basic psychological needs and character of teenagers, as well as how the adults in their world can affect them for better or worse. The anger and unworthiness Colt feels, and the feeling of never being able to please his father, are problems that many teens deal with daily.
A new course is offered for Microsoft certification through two parents and in coordination with Mr. Towne, the principal. Suddenly, Colt feels as though his last thread of pride in himself is about to be taken away when two younger students become certified. Isn't he the prime computer expert at the school? Yet, for reasons known only to himself and the reader, he doesn't pursue this certification. He thinks he knows all there is to know about computers. How wrong he is. His father is coming down hard on him about "wasting" his time with computers, he should be pursuing a profession and working toward getting into college. His girlfriend has the same attitude about computers, feeling he spends too much time on them and not her and becomes an ex-girlfriend because of it.
When a new girl comes into his life, everything changes. They are completely attuned to one another and what's more, she is interested in computers. When Colt decides to join the computer group, Amy is right with him, helping him study, and providing support and encouragement. Colt is finally reaching toward his potential.
I felt the storyline was good, the many problems and joy that teens feel, the disappointments and letdowns, the overblown self-pride coupled with insecurity are vividly drawn in this book. The author, in this his debut novel, has immersed us into the life of teens and their struggles. The book is a fairly quick read, but there is a lot adults could learn from it, even though it is a young adult novel.

Colt O'Brien Sees The Light Young Colt O'Brien Book 1 eBook George Cole Reviews
If you are interested in high school shenanigans in general and computer programming in particular - this book is for you!
"Colt O'Brien Sees the Light" is a clever mix of information technology, teen sexuality, and the paranormal. While some content is geared toward a more mature audience, the main character's journey from insecurity to self-awareness is a timeless theme that will resonate with teenaged readers.
I really liked the book. every chapter kept a fast pace and was entertaining. since it was plotted near home, it was easy to tell where the people where at.
I must admit I have not read a book from cover to cover in a very long time. I was recommended to read "Colt O'Brien Sees The Light" and I actually enjoyed reading it. I was very surprised as to how easy it was to read and did not have to refer to my dictionary on this one. The plot was interesting and kept my attention where I did not want to stop reading until I found out what happened next. I am excited for the sequel "Colt O'Brien Grows Up" and interested in what the author has to bring to the table this time.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The Author does a great job of keeping the reader interested as the material flows smoothly throughout each chapter. Having worked in the IT industry for many years, I can relate to the day-to-day experiences the main character takes us through - especially the dreaded IT exams that many of us have experienced in our career. It is a great mix of fact and fiction as many of the places listed are those I have visited in the Northwest. The main character captures our heart as he struggles to fit in with the "nerds" and make a name for himself, and most of all his desire to make his father proud.
I'm ready for the sequel!
Colt O’Brien Sees the Light was an excellent read because it is well-written, original, and just overall a good story. I highly recommend this to anyone.
*SPOILERS* after this point!!
I loved that you initially start reading and have certain feelings towards the main character that quickly change as the book progresses; Colt O’Brien modifies his attitude, and I grew to like him very much. The book was also very interesting and I loved learning about the great accomplishments of some local Washington students at such a young age, and the descriptions really made me feel like I could envision the story where it actually took place. I already have the next book in the series “Colt O’Brien Grows Up” and cannot wait to start reading it and find out what happens to him!
Colt O'Brien feels he knows all he needs to know about computers. Letting his senior year breeze by so he can fix and work on them, his grades are only average. Thinking his life is perfect, he's in for a nasty shock when his mother's friend seduces him with alcohol.
Around the same time, a couple of young computer geeks start up a club at his school where their goal is to become a Microsoft Certified System Engineer. Now, his principal informs him that his grades may not be good enough to get into college unless he can pass the Microsoft test. His only hope is to join the club.
When Colt meets the girl of his dreams, Amy, who brings out the best in him, everything starts to look better. His mom's twisted friend, though, doesn't like that he's dating someone and threatens to destroy his relationship and his chances at passing the test.
Can Colt overcome the odds stacked against him?
COLT O'BRIEN SEES THE LIGHT is quick, realistic fiction with well-developed characters. The author does a good job of setting up the obstacles, and the plot is complex but easy to follow. Readers who like realistic fiction dealing with relationships, computers, and life from the perspective of a guy will enjoy reading this book.
The story, however, does have some mature themes, so it would be best suited for high school-age readers and beyond.
