Advantages: Brilliant read

Disadvantages: A bit violent

This is the third in the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore.

In this book James finds himself in Arizona, USA, along with his sister fresh from qualifying to become an agent after a gruelling final exercise in the Alaskan wilderness and David Moss, an older experienced agent.

James finds himself locked in Arizona Max, a desert prison for kids who have been convicted of serious crimes, with David. His mission - to escape with his target Curtis Oxford in the hope that he will lead him to his mother, an illegal arms dealer.

This book was yet again brilliant. Each page is packed with excitement - car chases, weapons, prison breakouts, and much more.

The great narrative allowed me to be locked up in that prision along with the characters. You could hear the sounds, smell the smells, feel the tension, its not often that a book has done that to me!

You learn how important it is for the boys to be in gangs to look after each other. For kids reading the book they will have a clear insight into a life they will probably never see.

Danger lurks round every corner and you just don't know what is coming next, I read this is one sitting, as I just didn't want to put it down.

On the back of the book is a warning that it is not suitable for younger readers. I would agree with this as there is a lot of violence and deaths.
