1. Right now James, the hero of the story, just touched down in Miami, Florida with Junior Moore, his friend as well as the son of the drug boss, Kieth Moore. Kieth is the target of Cherub, the young spy organization which James is part of. James is hoping for the opportunity to snoop around and find out some information about Kieth.

2. I like this book. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's great, but it's a good read. The plot certainly knows how to keep you on your toes, with enough action scenes to keep you needing more. The characters are all good too, but I just can't give it full points, as what the story is about is a bit too strong for my taste.

3. Action is the theme here.Oh, it's not everywhere, but the author does a great job lacing it in every fifty pages or so, to make sure that the reader pays attention. He puts it in with fighting scenes, or ones filled with tension.

4. My favorite character is James. He's the main character, as well as a character with great plot depth that really helps make everything seem more real. Also, you can really get in sync with him, because of what an open book his emotions are.

5. My least favorite character is Nicole. Determined to have fun, she can take it too far to do only that. She was a bad influence, but now she got herself into enough trouble that she isn't in the story anymore.

6. I think that the trip to Miami will yield some interesting facts, possibly enough to put Kieth Moore behind bars. I'm positive that it's going to be an interestingtrip for James either way.
