all right boys and girls, I am effing back after 3 years of suffering in college and still in college, I started to indulge in my habit of reading again. And i don't regret it, my life has been a mess immediately after I stopped reading, such hiatus is not recommended. Reading makes me productive, it took my free time away from shallow entertainment like social media, and now since I started, my situation became either I read or study. Anyway, not the point, let's go to this thrilling book Orphan Monster Spy

The cover and title don't do justice to the content of the book. The plot is exciting but I was skeptical due to the cover. It gives a parody type of feeling.

This was reviewed as "Disturbingly good, violent and thrilling" but as I read and came to almost half of the book, I find it light and a fine read. The violent and thrilling part did not come until... don't want to say it, just read and see or feel how this book will leave anyone hanging in the air.
All throughout the book, I kept asking myself, how would someone end this story, given that it is a stand-alone novel, (or not)?? It offers a lot since it was based on the history of violence on Jews under Nazi. It would be a difficult read. But the author really considered his audience/ or readers. He made it into a read that anyone can go along with.

Sarah, for one, is bullied yet the fierce type of protagonist. She has this character of I might be weak but I can do anything as long as I believe in myself and..girl, I tell you, she trusts herself. Because maybe, there's no one to be trusted other than herself.

This book was good! It follows Sarah and a man that she meets along the way. She was trained as a spy and she was planning on stopping the world war. She goes on a lot of different adventures that leads her to helping to stop the war. This book was really interesting in the beginning! It kept me intrigued but as the book went on I was getting lost and not as interested in the story but I finished it.

I didn't enjoy this, the start was ok but I found myself bored and skipping pages, I just didn't care for this book and WILL NOT be reading the SEQUELS.

Struggled with how it was written. Read the last 5/6 chapters in one night. Good ending though
