5.0 out of 5 stars the best book series ever!

I have never picked up a book series and have been so amazed by words on paper. Robert Muchamore has a serious skill for making you feel as if you are standing right in the middle of these stories.
I originally borrowed the book serious from my cousin but they were just so good I had to buy my own set as I couldn't stop reading them.
Maximum Security is another Robert Muchamore book that you will plough through without even realising how much you have read and at that stage you will realise your done. This is definitely the best book that was written by Muchamore, there was so much thrill and exitment while reading this book.
Stop reading this review and go buy it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Loose Ends
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018

I like these Cherub books. I didn't expect to. The suspension of disbelief required to accept childish yet lethal 12 year olds seemed a bit much. But, there are lots of good things to say about the Cherub books, one being the regularly featured Epilogue. Books, even entertaining books, which leave unaddressed loose ends, well, they irritate me. Each Cherub book concludes with a satisfying look into each character's future. No "I wonder what happened to old so and so". The Epilogues are satisfying. They are like dessert.

This is the third in the Cherub series. Very enjoyable with lots of action involving James in jail to try and befriend a convict so he can get to his family. The characters are developing so we are familiar with what they are potentially capable of.

My grandson introduced me to this series, and I'm glad he did! I have five "missions" and have read three so far. The premise is interesting, the teenagers are believable and mostly likeable. It's a fast read, full of action and low on teenage angst. Add ten years to the characters' ages and it would no longer been a young adult series. I look forward to more in the series.

Maximum Security is a book which not only will suck you in but make you wish you were sitting next to the protagonists talking to them.
Robert Muchamore manages to bring his characters to life no one else. I strongly suggest this book to anyone who is in to action and espionage.

My son was addicted to this series of books and couldn't wait to read them all. He read each one in one night. That is how much he loved them. He has also read them all multiple times. He was about 14 when he read this series.

Out of the first 3 installments of the Cherub-series I liked this one best. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend skipping the other two books and reading this one first because without some background information you will find it hard to understand what's going on.
