I LOVED this as an intro to a series
i think its creative, fun, entertaining.. keeps you guessing 'who done it' style on a spy campus
i didn't love that he just kept being okay with 'oh i got attacked again' and didn't do much physical training!?
i liked that when he was with the right crowd aka erica he started putting context together and thinking outside the box/pushing himself so i hope for even more progress in the next book but overall great YA and will def dive into the series more!

Fajne. Mimo że książka jest raczej skierowana do młodszych czytelników, mnie również czytało się ją dość przyjemnie. Fabuła jest ciekawa, choć druga połowa wypada zdecydowanie lepiej pod względem intryg i odkrywania prawdy. Plus uwielbiam postać Erici!
Funny! When 12-year-old Ben Ripley is suddenly placed in spy school, he must hide the fact that he has no idea what he's doing. It's a great middle grade story, though I agree with another reviewer that the mild cussing is unnecessary for a kids' book.
loved it!! also a million others of it. not too repetitive of a plot.
Huge Stuart Gibbs fan here. I recommend this book constantly and it wins over my most reluctant readers. They all go on to read the whole series, loving it. I now see why.

Fun adventure spy book that I enjoyed, but I didn't love some of the crassness and how the narrator (a young teen guy) talks about women. I'd recommend for the story, but give a pause for younger readers because of content.
Questionable language - dork, honest to God federal agent, "who gives a fig", *ss
Sexual content - a crush on a girl(s), unnecessarily long explanation of how attractive a girl is,
Brief mention of a class called "seducing your enemies" , "lots of hotness", "tiny red smear of what looks like lipstick on his neck", uses the phrase "caught with their pants down" to describe someone who was unprepared
