Welcome to Litsy!

This book is for, at earliest, teenagers, but the cover said it is for all ages, made by Hyperion books for children. There is too much violence for it to be for kids. That was my biggest problem with this book. Animal lovers will be triggered by how the main antagonist treats them.

Other than that, It was fun to read, and it was well written. I liked how James bond has a close woman friend that helps as a hero. I want to continue this series.

We meet the future OO7 at the age of 13, orphaned, and at the book's opening a new arrival at Eton. The action never lets up and there's a lot of fun to be had in noticing the references to the future killing machine's preferences and foibles. We even get some (perfectly innocent) love interest care of a girl with the splendidly Flemingesque name of Wilder Lawless. Top hole.

Happy #YAWednesday. This weeks theme is mystery/thriller. First I shall give you Bond, Young Bond. Silverfin is book one in a 5 book series. And I just found out that there are an additional 5 books written by Steve Cole. These are like the James Bond we all know and love but cleaner for a younger generation. Appropriate for 5th grade and up!

Similar to the Alex Rider series but once again cleaner.
