Double or Die - Charlie Higson


With such action, adventure and trouble, this book is deadly outstanding, even though there are few gruesome and bloody situations - mostly when James Bond gets in serious trouble (or to put it right, when trouble comes to him). The story begins where James gets a letter full of cryptic clues that conclude that a teacher in his school, Eton, has been kidnapped so that he could make this mathematical technology that is 3 times the man-kind's mind and that can crack top secret codes. Now that the trouble has arrived James, he gets into action trying to save the teacher... as well as himself. He goes through secret, illegal gambling pubs, chemical and car explosions, over-speed-for-humans transporter, 5-sec-to-explode ship, two frightening murderers and also nerve-wrecking high heights. However, all of this hasn't stopped James, he still survives from these deadly scenes... though he ends up feeling none of his bones but could taste his own blood.

In conclusion, this book is hair-rising and bloodcurdling. I found it absolutely fantastic and I adventured every action with James Bond, so I can promisingly rate this book 10 out of 10 (in my opinion).
