This book is an absolute triumph. It is heartbreakingly sad. Like the saddest but like *soo good* how the author makes you care so much about all these characters.

Concluant de manière très satisfaisante une sorte de "trilogie Aramov", Black Friday continue de faire bon usage d'une narration éclatée entre les points de vue de plusieurs personnages, dont le héros Ryan, pour maintenir une tension efficace tout le long du roman.
Si Robert Muchamore n'est toujours pas très doué pour écrire des personnages de filles adolescentes complexes, et d'ailleurs ne s'essaie même pas trop à l'exercice, il réussi en revanche parfaitement à tirer sur la carte nostalgie en nous faisant découvrir la vie d'adulte de James, le héros original.
Un tome assez sombre, que je n'aurai pas envie de mettre entre les mains des plus jeunes lecteurs au vu de quelques scènes de violence physique et sexuelle assez graphiques, mais que les plus grands comme moi dévorerons avec plaisir.

02. A book that makes you nostalgic ✨
I loved the CHERUB series all throughout my teens, so enjoyed picking another one up for this prompt. While it didn’t quite have the same impact it may have when I was 15, it was a nice easy read and definitely reminded me of why I loved the series. An interesting plot line with the perfect balance between being realistic and wildly unrealistic, with just the right amount of teen drama added in.

Not interesting as novels so much as the challenge they set me as a parent knowing that my eleven year old is utterly addicted to them. Had I known that these actually were great deal more, er, adult than Alex Rider, I might have put a ban in place. Having caught up with them after my son's consumed about fifteen (the author cranks them out at an alarming rate), I'm already as red as a beetroot at the thought of the conversation we're going to have to have. Or else I'm just going to have to accept a few other home truths a little earlier than expected...
