I noticed that as I read the book, it seemed that the author had a lust for what he was writing. In my opinion it sounded as if the book he wrote was actually either a past life or a dream he had always wanted to accomplish. As most people have dreamed, being a spy would be an epic job and you would have a lot of fun. But for Robert Muchamore, it seemed as if it was the only thing he wanted to accomplish in life. He made the detale and passion great and it made you want to read more.
Tim, it sounds like you really emjoyed this book. I have read books about spies in the past too. Your review instantly reminded me of the Alex Rider series. The Recruit sounds very similar to those books. If you wanted to read another book about a young spy, I recomend them. Did you ever want to be a spy when you were younger?
ReplyDeleteHello Tim,
ReplyDeleteIt makes a book exciting to read when the author, as you put it, "has a lust for what he is writing." I still have technicolor dreams about being a spy. Is this something that you might be interested in doing - C.I.A. or F.B.I.?

Leah: Thank you for your comment. I really did enjoy this book. I will also look into your recommendation for the Alex Rider series. Spy's intrigue me and I'd love to read more fascinating novels. FYI, I still dream of becoming a spy! Haha.

Thanks for the comment Mrs. Burhoe! It's cool how you still dream of being a spy. I now feel an interesting connection on how we might think alike and be interested in the same topics. As the whole C.I.A and F.B.I stuff goes, I absolutely would love to work for them! A dream come true. Thanks again.
