A review by oftheglade
The Recruit by Robert Muchamore

Not rating since this book is the most 12 year old boy a book can be and I read it for a quick read and a good time. It delivered! But I am not the target audience so a rating is unfair. Good fun, surprisingly nuanced about government agencies meddling in politics and a good empathic, loving male character who isn’t just macho punch punch Alex Rider vibes. James is a menace, but he’s a good brother.
