Customer Reviews

Amazing book

This is by far the best book ever. Although i ordered The Killing in hardcover, it came in the mail in paperback. Its the same book so i dont have any problem. Very good series

The Killing

The Killing was a great book. When I read the first one I asked my mom to get the rest of the series. The Killing was a very good one in the series and I would recommend it to anyone 9 and over because there is just a bit of gore and language in it. I'm 9 my mom told me to put down that I was 9 for some odd reason. Alex Rider fans will love this series.

The best book in the Cherub series.

The recruit was good, but this is way, way better. The best in the series. I know like Cherub as much as Alex Rider and Jason Steed. The killing is a little scary in some places, you need the light on, lol.

THE KILLING By Robert Muchamore James is a 13 year old spy, whose life is far from normal. It consists of tough training, and missions. He also gets a room full of objects a 13 year old would use. But just when he thinks he's on top of the world it all comes crashing down on him and now he's desperately trying to keep himself from making it worse. I thought that this book was great it always managed to keep me gripping on to it always wanting to read the next page. One of the best parts about this book is that it can hook basically anyone. It has action, crime, relationships, and mystery. Another thing about this book is that you don't need to read the books before to understand what's going on. If you read this book and loved it I recommend that you read the rest of the series because they, like this one, are full of surprises and plot twists, which always keeps you on the edge of your seat. Although this book also contains some content that might be a bit bloody or inappropriate for younger readers. My favorite part of this book is the paintball fight in the beginning it seems like that part has the most action. Brennen E

teenage book

I purchased this book for my 14-year old son. He loves this series. Read each book in a couple of days because he couldn't set it down.
