review 1: One Shot Kill Review Recently I’ve read the book One Shot Kill, by Robert Muchamore. This book is about the Cherub organization of young spies who work with French Resistance members who get info on German bunkers and secret weapons as they go into occupied France in World War 2, to stop Hitler’s plans. I believe for this book to meet my criterion. My first criterion, exciting first chapter, is included in this book because in the first chapter of One Shot Kill, some of the young spies and French Resistance parachute into occupied France in order to save their friend from a German interrogation center, then later to be sent on a sniping mission into a secret bunker. Which goes to my next criterion of realistic fiction. The book shows realistic fiction by portraying the... more real life of World War 2 and the snipers in that war, which would come later in the book, even though the it is fiction. The book shows later of the cadets of Cherub going through sniper training, getting trained to shoot “in the dark, when it’s raining, and when you can’t stand and barely have enough strength to hold up your gun”, and portraying realistic battle tactics and strategies enabling them to gain victory. Then onto my next criterion of a suspenseful plot. The book demonstrates a very suspenseful plot as the main characters try to make their way through German occupied France to get to a secret bunker to save French scientists forced to work for the Germans. Then getting them far away before fleets of American Bombers come to blow the bunker to pieces because the bunker contains pilotless flying bombs. I know it’s a mouthful. With the possibility of getting blown to bits, or captured or killed; the book shows a very strong suspenseful plot. All in all, the book demonstrates my criteria well, by meeting and excelling at each criterion, and drawing me into the book by making me want to read more. I would recommend this book to fellow eighth graders because I think that they would be really fascinated by all the excitement, realism, and suspense that Robert Muchamore puts in in his book, One Shot Kill.
review 2: The story starts off with Rosie and Eugene parachuting into France. They were there to help the Resistance. Naturally stuff goes wrong, and Rosie is left dragging an injured girl halfway across France to find safety. Back in the UK the boys are being trained. Trained to be snipers.This book reads fast. It was only about 300 pages, 325? But it felt like lots happened in a short space of time. Which I quite like.Muchamore has once again written a book which will attract a wide range of ages."Hands off cocks, feet in socks!" - Call me immature, but I laughed waaaay too hard.... less
