This is not my kind of novel. However, the review is good.

You got me at Oliver Twist spying. This book sounds a little childish (maybe because it's funny) but I like it. Maybe I'll read it, after I finish some of my pending books. Thank you for your review.

This book seems interesting. A humorous book of a spy kid with detailed description and relatable chevrette characters sounds fun too. I'm definitely checking this one out. Thanks for the review.
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

I prefer to read crime stories that have a serious undertone, so I might have to pass on this book. Yet I know for a fact that a lot of my fourth grade boys would love this story, so if I ever get a copy, I'll be sure to recommend this to them. Thanks for the review!

Taunted by the prospect of avenging his father’s death Justin confronts the task of undergoing a psychological experiment. This would appear to be like a sound premise for an espionage thriller. When paired with relatable characters and a fun backdrop, it gets advances the fabric of this young adult fiction.

Honestly, I originally thought this book would be horrible with flimsy logic and an underwhelming plot. However, your review has made it clear that there was a good amount of thought put into the book. I'm happy it turns out to be such a good read!

Justin Reed sounds like an interesting character. Can't imagine growing up in a juvenile home, couple with his harsh life experiences.

This novel sounds like it would be fun. James Bond meets Home Alone, who wouldn’t love that. I’m glad that there is some seriousness to the book. It can’t be all fun. The expanded character development with a good plot is always a plus. I’m putting this on the to-read shelf. Great review!

Today's BOTD sounds awesome, and I think my students will enjoy it, too! Filled with action, adventure, mystery, and lots of humor, this YA spy novel is sure to get you hooked on the entire series. I've downloaded my free book, and I can't wait to start reading. Thank you for your review! :-)

I'll admit that I'm on the fence concerning this book. The blurb doesn't give me much to go on, but your review does help. Your description that the story is like Oliver Twist meets James Bond meets Home Alone has me all twisted up. Haha! I'm interested one second and then put off the next. I enjoyed Home Alone when I was younger, but it's not a favorite now that I'm more mature. The storyline does pique my interest, so I'm going to read a few pages and see what I think of Justin as the main character.
