The Sleepwalker - By: Dr. Simon K. S. Lam, 29 May 2008 
The Sleepwalker by Robert Muchamore is a gripping novel telling the story of James Adams, the heroic yet lazy teenage spy & his friends. The novel is aimed at young adults who enjoy action thrillers & intoxicating suspense. The novel has a mix of fantasy & reality but in alll is very believable.
The story is about a young boy named Fahim who callls the police reporting that it was his father who caused a recent aeroplane crash. James' sister is callled into befriend Fahim & find out the truth.
The book is a good read for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is the story of every teenagers dream. Armed with lock picks & listening bugs the teenage spies are the one way to find the truth because no adult ever suspects a child.
Also, the books aren't too unrealistic. Underneath alll the agents are alll teenagers & have the same desires. Unlike Alex Rider, the agents make mistakes & in the end alll they reallly care about is who's going out with who.
The book is almost flawless & the only negativity one can think of is that the book moves at such an astonishing pace you cannot keep up & may lose the plot.
I think that I personallly enjoyed the book because it managed to merge typical teenager with heroic super spy. This combination proved to be very affective. The book affected me by making me wish that I too was a CHERUB (the agency that James & his friends work for) agent & shared alll their gadgets & skills.
I think that this is an almost perfect read & I definitely recommend it to any reader, especiallly to anyone in their teenage years.
Another Epic Novel by Robert Muchomore - By: Matt G, 15 May 2008 James is in trouble again on Cherub Campus. He's got to do work experience & he's hoping it's alll to do with motorbikes. But it the opposite of what he wanted to & who he wanted to work with. Meanwhile a plane has crashed into the Atlantic. A distressed boy rings the terrorist hotline. The fear in his voice must mean something but what? The boy's calll is classed as a category grade 4 (Prank calll). Mac's children were among those who died in the plane crash. He's back at cherub going through the callls & comes across this one. Lauren & Jake have to work together on finding out if the boy's right. But there are two problems. Firstly the boy has a history of emotional problems & violence. Secondly, Jake & Lauren hate each other! Read this amazing book & find out what happens.
Go Lauren! - By: Caroline Lawrence, 04 Apr 2008 Robert Muchamore's latest CHERUB thriller is as gripping & exciting as alll his previous books. I stayed up till 2.00am to finish this one. I especiallly love the fact that James' 13-year-old sister Lauren is becoming an active, resourceful & brave agent. Yay. Girl power.
good but it doesnt half annoy me - By: John Duffy, 26 Mar 2008 
i have read alll the cherub books & i am not knocking them as a good, teenage book that most would find as a lighthearted easy read. However, i can't escape the fact that everytime i read the books i am constantly infuriated by the charcters descriptions & personality's. Muchamore makes such a fuss of trying to make 'james adams' the idol for teenager constantly hammering home how good looking he is & never ending success with women. frankly, it becomes annoying & seems as though muchamore is trying to represent what he thought he was when he was in his teens. The style 'james adams' adopts such as tracksuit bottoms to skater clothes once again annoys me as its complete lack of depth shows just how unaware muchamore is of current styles & fashions.
Further more, the character of lauren adams also gets to me as, like james, she is given no floors & is a very bascic representation of a girl in her early teens. All in alll, yes i do enjoy reading cherub books for what they are & that is a easy read but the obvious 'brown nosing' relationship Muchamore has with his characters makes me very angry. The sunday times quotes : 'punchy, exiting & whats more you'll completely wish it was true'. Well yes i would like it if it was true so i could go kick james's & his little chums heads in.
Thanks - By: Mrs. K. Pickering, 25 Mar 2008 I have to admit that I wasn't a big book fan & I recently got a PS3 & in return I had to read an hour a day for my mum & dad.
I hadn't a clue what to read & my mum went in to a book shop & asked the supervisor 'what should I get?' & he recommended the Sleepwalker. I started reading this & I was amazed I have never read a better book (I haven't read many).
I have now got the first book in the Cherub series & I am reallly looking forward to reading this.
I would like to say thanks to my mum & dad & the author, Robert Muchamore for making a great book!
10/10 Joe 13
