review 1: 1. I decided to read this book as I have previously read many books from Robert Muchamore, and I'm a big fan. He is well known for his successful series "Cherub" where he sold many books world wide.2. I enjoyed the character Justin, a young 10 year old boy. I was unimpressed at first by the character when I was introduced in "One Shot Kill", although as the book goes on, he slowly develops as an useful resistance member and I find him more enjoyable. He is first made known to the reader on a pursuit, where Rosie (A member from the resistance) escapes German soldiers via boarding a coal train. Justin is on the same train where he steals coal for a living.3. A quote that I found very interesting is; "Something is the matter, but it usually sorts itself out in the end," I was... more intrigued with this notion as I know half of the time it doesn't happen. I personally think this is a strange mind set for someone fighting in the war, and instead I think they should attempt doing something about it, because sometimes this could result in losing a battle war etc...4. "One Shot Kill," Made me think about WW2 and the huge impact it has had to the world today. It made me think back then at the war, how people like this (resistance) had a huge impact on the war although they are not really known and instead forgotten, without them I personally think the world today would be slightly different place (not in a good way).
review 2: This book had loads of action and never stopped. There are many things that I liked in this book like when Marc goes of to see Jae. I felt this book never stopped. It was action after action. I like how we meet some new characters as well as some of the character we met in previous books. Also it feels like we haven't seen some characters in ages, like Rosie and Paul. Rosie is now sixteen and Paul has past his 'girls are icky' stage. It only felt like a few minutes ago when Rosie and Paul were trying to escape France with important documents and now both of them are spies. My only issue with this book is that we didn't see enough PT, he speaks only in one chapter, although he does a appear in earlier and later chapters. Overall I really enjoyed this book and this is shown in the fact that it took me only three days to read. I think this book is the best book in the series so far and all that I can hope is that Scorched Earth,which is the next book in the series, is just a good as this one. less
