CHERUB
« on: January 19, 2006, 12:24:44 PM »
Has anyone read this series, as I am in the middle of "Class A" and really enjoying it. It has a very carefree auhtorative style, whereas Harry Potter is written seriously. It's no joke book, though, as it is based on the child branch of the secret service!
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

No, I haven't read it. I haven't even heard of it. Is it any good? Sounds a bit like Alias for kids.

I'd probably like it. I love spy books because I always wanted to be a spy when I was younger and be all clever and sneaky and totally kick-butt--until I had the realization that it'd be hard to have a family if I was running off to save the world, and that they'd be in danger all the time as well. So, I decided to go into English and writing/editing/teaching instead. Somewhat safer, though probably just as insane.  ;)

Ha ha ha.

I'm sure it is; all my English teachers were!!!

Yes they are good. The first one's called "The Recruit", and they're by Robert Muchamore. I used to want to be a spy, and my sister did, but we've realised that it's a rocky path full of deception and difficulties. Possibly similar to teaching?...

You can say that again.
