Review
Praise for Jimmy Coates: Revenge "Boys love this stuff, and so do girls. Jimmy is a pint-sized verision of Robocop or Terminator! Like Anthony Horowitz's splendid fantasies, [these novels] tap into almost everything a bolshy boy wants and feels. Immensely clever, immediately engaging, they will prepare a child for Orwell and Huxley." Amanda Craig, The Times "Fast-paced and intelligently written." The Bookseller "the sort of book to wow reluctant boy readers away from computer games and into the pages of a book." Books for Keeps "Joe Craig has produced another thrilling page-turner." Jewish Chronicle "A rollicking good spy romp." School House magazine. Praise for Jimmy Coates: Target "With cinematic skill, Craig unrolls a series of action-packed scenes, with a new crisis at every turn of the page. It's gripping, but not mindless" Angela Kilverstein Praise for Jimmy Coates: Killer "!a totally excellent adventure -- a lit bit Bond, a lit bit Matrix and a lot of what you've never read before. Someone make this into a movie!" Flipside "A gripping action-thriller that's packed with twists." Funday Times "[Joe Craig] has developed the sharp satirical edge that keeps the new generation of boys hooked on books. Which is, in itself, the act of a superhero." Amanda Craig, The Times "The perfect primer to the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum." VOYA "!By turns excitingly action-packed, believably sensible and character driven, and then refreshingly paranoid, this is a book I'd be happy to recommend to the kid in everyone." Vector

Customer Reviews

Fast and fun
This came in 9 days, a little slow, but the book is fast and fun, Its a great Young Adult book.
Probably one of the best Jimmy Coates books. It is better than Cody Banks, not quite as good as Jason Steed or Alex Rider, but still a good adventure romp.

Another great book!
Those who have read the first two and enjoyed them wont be disappointed by this new installment. It has a lot of pace and great plot. I really enjoyed how the characters developed and of course absolutely loved all the action. I found myself screaming at the book towards the end, desperate to find out what happened. It's very well written and I just can't wait for the fourth!

Jimmy Coates Revenge
I got into Jimmy Coates after I got hooked on young teen spys from books such as Young James Bond, Alex Rider, Jason Steed and Ravens Gate.
Joe Craig is a great author and has a unique style of his own. I would put him in the same style a Charlie Higson author of the Young James Bond books, he is not quite up there with Anthony Horowitz: Author of Alex Rider, Ravens Gate, Jason Steed (under a pen name)or the Diamond Brothers. To me Anthony Horowitz is one of the worlds current best authors.
'Revenge' is a fast pace book, that flows well and keeps you turning the pages. I would have to say this book is better than Jimmy Coates 'Killer'.
