Customer Reviews

Great Book, although similair story to Alex Rider Skeleton Key
Great fast paced book, James is a true hero, the downside is the story is just like Alex Rider Skeleton Key. However that said, its probably one of the best Young James Bond book.
I cant get enough of the Young James Bond, Alex Rider, Jason Steed, Jimmy Coates and Cherub books.
10 out of 10.

Best young bond yet
A truly fantasic book, it has good humor realistic caracters and a very good plot. This book is defiently well worth a read and my only minor critisisum would be that it is a tad predictibal and you can kind of guess what is going to happe hence the 4 stars not 5. Over a good book thats well worth a read well done charlie another great bond!

Very well written
I thought this was excellent. I haven't read any of the Fleming novels and am by no means a James Bond fan but have been looking for something to read to my impatient nine year old which won't bore me to death and these books have fitted the bill perfectly. I've enjoyed all of them although I would say that this and Blood Fever are the best. The Eton stuff in the other books was getting a little wearing and it was entirely absent here.

What has most impressed me is how well written they are. They are clearly aimed at young readers but I think Higson writes very fluently. Certainly, purely as a writer he is superior to Anthony Horowitz although that may be something to do with the speed Horwitz must churn them out.

Heartily recommended.
