Its been a while since I read a Cherub book, and I think I might have enjoyed this more if I'd read it immediately after the first five.
I found James incredibly annoying throughout the first half of the book, and only started liking him when action really kicked off. However all the other characters saved my faith in this book and made James less annoying. I especially loved Lauren who always seems to see the best in people whilst doing the mission at hand.
The switches between POV were so flawless that I hardly noticed the story had changed perspective. I loved that we got to switch between the three main characters because it meant you got to see the mission from several different angles. There were even times where you would switch to an adult or bad guy to see even more of the mission.
It was a fun, quick read and a brilliant addition to the Cherub series!

I love this books, I won't ever get tired to say how insane this books get but at the same time I just love them! This one I think was a bit more graphic than usual but it was a great read either way.

Date Read:June 12 2010
Genre/s: YA, spies, adventure
First line of Book:"Andy Pierce's bed felt fantastic. "
Review: This is the sixth installment of Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series, which is about a secret organization, a part of MI5, that employs...children. Oh yeah, children, because adults never suspect a child might be keeping an eye on them.
here's the synopsis:
Animal rights, animal wrongs.
Every day thousands of animals die in laboratory experiments. Some say these experiments provide essential scientific knowledge, while others commit violent acts in order to stop them.
James and Lauren Adams are stuck in the middle...
James, Lauren and Kyle will infiltrate on a secret terrorist group that attacks companies that make animals suffer, by experimenting on them, or by not letting them live in proper life conditions. There, they'll make a choice: what is more important, their mission or the ideals behind the animal support organizations.
I really liked this book. Overall, I really like the idea of spy kids, the fact that they're not just highly skilled agents but also children (with food fights, bickering and kid/teen related issues) really pleases me and the way it's written is good also very good.
Rating:4/5 stars

Robert Muchamore should be proud of the Cherub related books. They are written for children but are appealing to adults.
Triggers: animal abuse, fighting, sabotage of government facilities
Part of a series of books. Highly recommend that you read them in order so you don’t miss out on the backstories.
Cherub Agents are a division of the British Security Service called CHERUB, which employs highly trained children, predominantly orphans, under the age of 17, as intelligence agents.
CHERUB agents are all seventeen and under. They wear skate tees and hemp, and look like regular kids. But they're not. They are trained professionals who are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists and international drug dealers. CHERUB agents hack into computers, bug entire houses, and download crucial documents. It is a highly dangerous job. For their safety, these agents DO NOT EXIST. Mainstream animal protection groups have always stayed within the law, but a new band of radical liberationists argues that if humans and animals are equal, then it's right to kill or threaten one human in order to save the lives of many animals. In a new mission, James and the other CHERUB agents must go up against the most radical group yet in a daring and violent attempt to save hundreds of lives...including their own.

This is the fourth book in the series I’ve read today and the 6th book in past 30 hours. I may be having a mid-pandemic mental crisis
One of my ultimate favourites of the series and one of the reasons I became a vegetarian.
