Full review up on the blog: http://gloriousbooks.blogspot.com/2015/09/review-people-republic-by-robert.html
I'm a huge fan of the CHERUB series and I've started reading the spin off series, Henderson's boys, too. I started reading these books when I was in high school and I've been following them ever since, albeit slowly. While I finished CHERUB a while back, I've yet to catch up on the other two series, including this one.
This book definitely wasn't disappointing. It had all of the traits I've grown to love from Muchamore, especially his sense of humour. While you can expect lots of action and suspense from his reads, the humour is what separates them from other books featuring a plot based on espionage.
I will mention, as is the case with a lot of series, that CHERUB holds a special place in my heart. I followed those characters for a long time, so to be reading about the same place and some of the same supporting characters, I missed James terribly. I couldn't help but compare Ryan to James and how he first behaved on the same campus with the same teachers.
This book seemed to be a lot more plot driven than the CHERUB books. The other series focused a lot on James and his character development and for a 12 year old, Ryan seemed a lot more mature than James did in the beginning. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, it just gave the book a different feel to the other series and made it stand out quite a bit. It wasn't more of the same stuff.
I'm definitely interested to see what happens with this whole Aramov clan - it was interesting to find out that one mission will carry on across a few books.

As a massive fan of the first series I was so pleasantly surprised with this book. I won’t lie I kind of went into it expecting to hate it. But for the most part this series is living up to the first one so far.

I had forgotten how easy Robert Muchamor s writing is to read.
Once again I am loving the Cherub world and all its new recruits. Hopefully I can get my hand son the rest of the Aramov series soon!

Ca fait un moment que je n'avais pas lu un Cherub est c'est toujours aussi entrainant et fun!
James n'est plus là mais Ryan est un bon remplaçant.
J'aurai bien aimé voir une héroine le remplacer mais au final, le livre est partagé entre Ryan et une jeune recrue féminine, Ning, bien qu'elle ne soit même pas mentionnée dans le synopsis! Le livre suit pourtant bien les deux jeunes qui travailleront surement ensemble dans les prochains tomes pour faire tomber le clan Aramov!
Ça promet!
En tout cas, cela ne me dérange pas personnellement mais ces livres inclus des situations violentes et difficile. Pauvres gamins...heureusement qu'ils deviennent agents secrets bien encadrés parce que je ne sais pas ce qu'ils deviendraient et ça seraient déprimant.
