It seems the reviewer had fun reading and writing this review. The book is indeed intriguing, well, what I have read so far and was more intrigued after reading this review. I wonder what kind of adventure awaits Justin to make a reviewer so happy to write a review. :tiphat:

The story sounds interesting, but I'm not really big on spy stories. I think I'll pass on this one. Nice review though.

Thanks for your wonderful review :) I can't wait to show this to my son for him to read, I think he'll love it! I can't wait to read it myself either, it sounds like a great read and I'm interested to see Bob fits into Justin's world.

The surprising level of backstory and plot is already shown in chapter one, and that is beyond amazing. I like bow it is humorous considering that we're dealing with teens here. I have decided to write this book and more so because of your review. Thanks!

Thank you for the review. I'm not sure if a mix between elements of YA stories and spy thrillers can lead to a great book, or at least to one that interests me. At least it seems that the reading is entertaining and that the main character is relatable.

Sounds like a fun plot. I enjoy reading books that are part of a series so being able to start on book 1 is a bonus. I'm glad to know that the characters stayed with you for that long though and that you seemed to enjoy the 4th book as well. That bodes well for the series. Thanks for the review!

with such a review like this I bet it will definitely turn out to be so much interesting and also coupled with the fact that it's a spy story which I do love so much because I always awaits the unfolding of the suspense and mystery.
Thanks for the review it's really a must read!

Sounds like a maybe read for me. It doesn't seem like an intense thriller so perhaps I can give this one a go.

Suspenseful and fun are not paired enough! This writer seems to have it figured out. The book, as it is described in the review, sounds like just the thing for YA readers. Thank you for an insightful summary and a sensory-rich overview of what to expect now, and in the future, from the author.

I love YA books for quick reads! It also gives me a chance to pre-read books for my tween. He is an advanced reader, but the content in those more challenging books isn't always suitable. This sounds like it's filled with fun shenanigans! Thanks for the review.

I am not going to lie I am a big fan of a lot of YA novels. This one sounds like it had a lot of action and some great characters. I also like the story doesnt just end there and expands into a series. Thanks for the review.

The Oliver Twist of spies? Sounds very strange and not something I would be into. This is going in the hope pile.

The low down on this book seems to be quite interesting. It also seems to have everything a good book should have. Great review

You had me at "Oliver Twist" and "spying"! I didn't have much interest when I saw the cover and synopsis, but your review makes this book sound like so much fun, and I'm beginning to think it might be right up my alley, especially with your comparisons to those comedy movies. Thank you for your thoughts!
