The Recruit by Robert Muchamore

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I did not particularly enjoy this. Idea of it seemed cool but I wasn't a fan of the writing. It starred off relatively promising but nothing that happened seemed to really go together. It's like he had a bunch of ideas for missions these kids to do, couldn't decide which to use and so piled them all together. The last part of the book felt pointless to me.

At first, I thought, hey, maybe I'm just too old to be enjoy this type of book (I'm 31), but Alex Rider is similar and one of my favourite series'. Just done A LOT better. The characters in this were not very likeable.
