Go Lauren! - Rated 
Robert Muchamore's latest CHERUB thriller is as gripping and exciting as all his previous books. I stayed up till 2.00am to finish this one. I especially love the fact that James' 13-year-old sister Lauren is becoming an active, resourceful and brave agent. Yay. Girl power.
good but it doesnt half annoy me - Rated 
i have read all the cherub books and i am not knocking them as a good, teenage book that most would find as a lighthearted easy read. However, i can't escape the fact that everytime i read the books i am constantly infuriated by the charcters descriptions and personality's. Muchamore makes such a fuss of trying to make 'james adams' the idol for teenager constantly hammering home how good looking he is and never ending success with women. frankly, it becomes annoying and seems as though muchamore is trying to represent what he thought he was when he was in his teens. The style 'james adams' adopts such as tracksuit bottoms to skater clothes once again annoys me as its complete lack of depth shows just how unaware muchamore is of current styles and fashions.
Further more, the character of lauren adams also gets to me as, like james, she is given no floors and is a very bascic representation of a girl in her early teens. All in all, yes i do enjoy reading cherub books for what they are and that is a easy read but the obvious 'brown nosing' relationship Muchamore has with his characters makes me very angry. The sunday times quotes : 'punchy, exiting and whats more you'll completely wish it was true'. Well yes i would like it if it was true so i could go kick james's and his little chums heads in.
Thanks - Rated 
I have to admit that I wasn't a big book fan and I recently got a PS3 and in return I had to read an hour a day for my mum and dad.
I hadn't a clue what to read and my mum went in to a book shop and asked the supervisor 'what should I get?' and he recommended the Sleepwalker. I started reading this and I was amazed I have never read a better book (I haven't read many).
I have now got the first book in the Cherub series and I am really looking forward to reading this.
I would like to say thanks to my mum and dad and the author, Robert Muchamore for making a great book!

still loving the CHERUBs! - Rated 
Another very will written, action packed book by Robert Muchamore, forget buying it for your children, siblings, whatever, I'm 30 and think the series is fantastic. Borrowed the first two books from my nephew when I was bored and had nothing to read, and have since bought the rest!
The only thing I would say is that the books say on the back 'Not suitable for younger readers' and I would agree with that, they do get a bit grisly in places.
Whatever your age, buy and enjoy!
Great Books! - Rated 
My son is 13 and got the first 4 in the series of Cherub Books for Christmas - best pressie!! He read them within a couple of weeks and asked for the next ones in the series. Just finished reading the latest one and has loved them! I even read the first one (I like to have an idea what he is reading about!) and thoroughly enjoyed it too (even made me cry in one part!). How great that an author can so enthrall teenagers!
