Customer Reviews

Man Vs Beast
The latest addition to the CHERUB series is the finest book so far, as well as being the most gripping tale it's also unquestionably Robert Muchamore's most motivating book so far in the already superb series. Three fully trained teenage spies, James, Lauren and Kyle have are sent on a mission to gather intelligence on members of an anti-animal testing extremist group.

The reason: Adults don't expect children to be spying on them.

The book contains all the action, excitement and tense situations of the CHERUB series so far, as well as tit bits of information on vegetarianism and animal cruelty. In addition to the thrill that any teenager loves to read Man Vs Beast will truly make you think about your views of animal testing and cruelty.

With many twists and turns, thrills and nerves Man Vs beast will have you up all night biting your nails between turning the pages.

James Adams is back into action!
Robert Muchamore has made the cherub series a really special one. Every book is written with the same excitment and high tempo which makes you never want to put the book down. Also the way that he manages to put in modern day teenage romance is breathtaking! Knowing the way he writes, this next James Adams adventure should be the best one yet.

A word of caution
This book was great, fast, pacy, a really topical read BUT I totally disagree with the 11+ rating most people give this. It is FULL of inappropriate language and some quite gory and violent stuff which in my opinion makes it more suitable for 13+. I'm afraid our primary school took these out of the library, which is a shame given the brilliant storyline. Why, oh why do authors put loads of swearing in books aimed at children?
