Rating: - Great book
I reallly enjoyed this book, like all of the series but i was shocked how they seem to have skipped the other books into making them into audio books i was really looking forward to listening to Maximum Secruity but it seems they have decided to only realese the new books not the old ones.

Rating: - Solid stuff
After ten books Robert Muchamore has put a new spin on the CHERUB series, creating a title that focuses on a massive training exercise in the Nevada desert.

I'd reccommend new readers start with one of the earlier books in the series, or better yet start from the beginning by reading The Recruit (or the hardback Ultimate Edition which contains the first two books at a bargain price).

Rating: - Muchamore is a marvellous man!
The General is one in a fantastic series of books. I first thought they would be very much like Agent Cody Banks - unrealisitc and americanised.

Rating: - generally excellent!
This cherub book is special because instead of starting with a training exercise and ending with a mission it turns it round and starts with a mission and ends with a massive training exercise.The mission and the big training exercise are really good bits of the book which grip you throughout and times which are a bit funny (especially with kazakov who hates americans and trys to start a fight with lots of them).A very good read.
