The Recruit: Book 1 (CHERUB Series) (English Edition) Kindle电子书
The first title in the number one bestselling CHERUB series! James hits rock bottom before he's offered a new start in an intriguing organisation ...
A terrorist doesn't let strangers in her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place. The terrorist doesn't know that one of these kids has bugged every room in her house, made copies of all her computer files and stolen her address book. The kid works for CHERUB.
CHERUB agents are aged between ten and seventeen. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail.
For official purposes, these children do not exist.

I have bought the next in this series and believe if this is the sort of text that gets young boys reading and keep them interested the author has done his job.



The Recruit by Robert Muchamore is a book that you will plough through without even realising how much you have read and at that stage you will realise your done.
Stop reading this review and go buy it!!!!

This book was fantastic in its pacing; I never wanted to put it down, even when it was time to go to work or to sleep; this book resulted in several late nights for me. The beginning of the book deals with James's troubled home life, ensuing tragedy, and his recruitment into Cherub. The beginning and middle of the book were the strongest spots of storytelling; they kept you hooked and interested, generating a healthy sympathy and concern for the protagonist. I particularly loved the 100 days of training; it was very intense and suspenseful.
The characters were also well written and conceived, and the author caught a realistic sense of the insecurities young adults face in their social lives. The way most characters reacted to situations were realistic, and took me back to my dreaded middle school days. Still, the book's references to pop culture (PlayStation 2 and clothing brands) were a bit outdated, dating the book and hurting the reader's ability to stay in the world created by the author. Most of the dialogue was great, even funny at times, but there were also several "rough" conversations that felt forced, particularly towards the end of the book.
The third "act" of the book involves James's first mission. While I did not hate this part, it definitely fell short of the first two acts, creating a sense of disappointment in the overall story development. Basically, James's actions help to thwart some terrible plot, and he is rewarded for such actions. The problem is, the actions are not terribly heroic, and there is a play for drama where there really is none; it felt cheap, and I know the author could have constructed a more "fun" mission for James to cut his teeth on.
Despite the disappointing third act and outdated popular culture references, I would still recommend this book. I believe children will find it entertaining, while also relating to it. Do keep in mind that this book is part of series due to the current trend in children's literature right now, which is to write a long series, and hope to score big (think Harry Potter money). Because of this, your children may want (or need) you to purchase all of the books, but encouraging children to read is important, even if I do not believe in extending a series entirely for profit. Therefore, I say take the plunge, accept the mission, and earn that Navy shirt.
