About the Author
Charlie Higson is a well-known writer of screenplays and adult thriller novels. He's also a performer, co-creator of The Fast Show, and can currently be seen on BBC in Swiss Toni. Recently, people have begun to question whether this the whole truth - or whether, in fact, it's an elaborate cover for a far more dangerous, secret career. Silverfin was his first book for young readers.

Customer Reviews

Young 007 James Bond
Not as good as Silverfin or By Royal command, but nevertheless a great young adult fiction novel. Charlie Higson was getting as good as Anthony Horowitz but it does not have the action, shame he has a great name to use. Why Flemming Productions did not use Anthony Horowitz is just crazy.

Better than silver fin but predictable
Charlie boy did a better job with this, although once you have read the first 10 pages you will know the ending.
I dont think these will ever be films, Its old hat and boring. But better than silverfin so 2 stars

Quite appalling editing
The story line was good and exciting and struck a nice balance between gore and good story. However, the editing in the copy that I've got was quite bad. I have the paperback edition and one hopes that someone at the publishers has read the manuscript and sorted it out. Sadly this doesn't seem to be the case. If we are trying to encourage children to read then an example need to be set, and unfortunately let down badly by the editing, this isn't it.
