Wow, I love this suspense filled review. I had my heart on my tongue. And a spy novel ... I'm in for this.

Latest Review: The Fold by Dennis Lee

I agree with you that this book is a great young adult novel. The combination of humor and action is definitely a winner. I've read the first chapter and I've really enjoyed it. The dialogues are well written and the story flows smoothly. I liked the interactions between Randy, Justin and Doug as well as all the background information on Justin, his family or his life at the orphanage. The fact that he was carrying a copy of Oliver Twist is that tiny detail that won me over. Thanks for a wonderful review!

This looks like a book I can comfortably read and enjoy. I love books on spies and thanks to the author this is free on Amazon Kindle. Thanks for the great review.

I don't think anyone could resist to read this book. A mix of Oliver twist, James Bond and even Home Alone? Let's see if he can find his father's killer. Congratulations on BOTD.

This book is so amazing and full of humor :lol: It has really encouraged me to to buy it... The character is quite teaching on morals even after passing through situations such as death.

I’m glad you liked both books in the series. It’s hard to imagine how a street-smart teen combines with James Bond And Home Alone in a way that makes sense. I do like that it doesn’t come across as too ridiculous. Thanks for your review.

I sampled the book on Amazon. This is a fast-paced thriller which begins with the story of a 14-year old orphan Justin who is exposed to all the dark sides of the society like drugs, robbery, etc. As mentioned in the review by CataclysmicKnight, this book will be loved by an audience of fast-paced YA thriller.

Thank you for this short nice review. It feels like it is a good book. Thank you for making note about the "unrealisticness" that sometimes can be a turn off for a reader. Even if it is a fantacy story but, outhors have to keep in mind to explain their way or keep the plots within the parameters of reality.

Based on the review I am not sure if this book is for me. I don't usually read spy novels. I think that I might give the book a chance because it seems like a fun young adult novel.
