Burning for Revenge by John Marsden
4.0
Another good entry in the series, although I'm happy there are only two more left as this was definitely the weakest book so far. Still strong, but minor annoyances from the previous books are beginning to grate a little.
After the failed bombing of the airbase in the last book, the gang find themselves in the 'unlucky' position of getting taken into the base while hiding in the back of a truck from some troops, suffice to say, craziness ensues. The attack on the base, is as always with this series, very tense and the action flows extremely well...with about a hundred pages dedicated to pure action.
Previous little annoyances are starting to rear their head though, a lot of what these kids do is based on luck, and it's getting to the point where they are seeming 'too' lucky for it to be believable, Lee's 'other woman' was also quite stupid, especially since it seems very out of character and hardly any page time was really dedicated to it. Also, annoying bloody orphans, which I'm told appear in the next book. Bad times.
