I'm a big fan of these types of kid spy books. The Alex Rider series is by far my favourite but as I'm already a fan of Charlie Higson, I thought I'd try this one.

Now, I'm not personally a fan of James Bond as an adult. I always found him rather boring, so I wasn't expecting to like this.

In the beginning, I wasn't particularly enjoying it. I kept comparing it to Alex Rider, where the action starts from page 1. Whereas with this, it was a rather slow start.

He's also not as confident as Alex Rider and definitely doesn't have the same skills he possesses in terms of fighting skills. I do like seeing the growth of Bond throughout the book and the story really ramped up when he left Eton for his holidays with his Aunt.

All in all, an enjoyable read and I plan on reading the others in the series.
