cherub......the fall......
WHAT A BOOK this is by far the best of the cherub series they are all good but this is just great the story is so adictive i read this in under an hour (i quick read) still got the story but read it mega quick, the thing i like best about Muchamore is he is very realistic e.g. in the alex rider series i carnt remember him once going for a piss SERIOUSLY where as james at least goes through everyday life and doesnt get sent into space as a 14 year old ( that bit of alex rider took the P*ss) hence why i think this is by far the best cherub yet gripping and full of even more suspense because when you think james problems are going there only just beginning

A FANTASIC READ
I amsolotly love all the books in the cherub series and this is no exeption. I would recommend this book to people above the age of 12 as some sections may be unsuitabal for people below this age. Well worth the asking price and well worth a read. suited to adults and children alike. overall a fantastic book thats well worth reading.

Best CHERUB Book Yet!
How could anyone not like this fast paced thriller? In this book James's mission in Russia goes terribly wrong. James will have to use all his skills to get out of Russia alive. Meanwhile Lauren is on her first solo mission. Once James arrives back on campus it turns out that this nightmare is just beginning. I can't say anymore without revealing the plot but I can say this... will James ever go out on a mission again? Will Lauren survive her first solo mission? Read it and find out! If you don't read it you must have a very good reason not to!
