5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great series!, May 10, 2010

This review is from: Divine Madness (Cherub) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is such a great series, and Divine Madness is no exception.

In this adventure of CHERUB, James and his crew are up against a religious cult known as The Survivors'. Anyone in this cult is an Angel, and everyone else in the world is a Devil. It's up to James and his fellow agents to become a part of the cult and see what is going on and to see if there are any links to the violent group of environmentalists knows as, Help Earth. Help Earth has no problem in harming industries and kill anyone who they feel is hurting the Earth. The things is that The Survivors' are excellent in brain washing. Soon, James isn't only battling The Survivors and Help Earth, but his own mind. He has to find a way to counter their brain washing abilities, or he'll be lost forever.

This is such a fantastic read! I love how James has to come to terms with his mind, and see through the brain washing. This added a lot of tension to the book. It will keep the reader glued to every page. I also like how Lauren is turning out. She's a fantastic character that has many layers to her. She is part of the reason why this series is such a fun read. We also get to meet another member of CHERUB, and it's interesting how she turns out.

Over all, this is such a great installment to the CHERUB series. If you haven't stated it, I suggest you start with the first book, and enjoy the ride. I know I am. This series has kept me glued to every page of every book. Muchamore has a fantastic writing style.

I can't wait to start the next one.

This review is from: Divine Madness (Cherub) (Mass Market Paperback)

My son is 12, is NOT an avid reader....difficult to find books that generate any enthusiasm for him. Well, this series did it. I could hardly keep up with ordering the next book....he would read voluntarily for long periods of time. If you have a reluctant reader, give this set a try, I think you won't be disappointed!

This review is from: Divine Madness (Cherub) (Mass Market Paperback)

Divine Madness is an exciting, sometimes disturbing look into cults and extremists. James continues to grow as a character. The best thing about these books is that although the premise is child spies th Cherubs are still believable as people, James and the others could be any kids you knew growing up in terms of their personalities and thought processes. I was also glad for the character of Dana finally advancing in Cherub ranks and I hope we find out more about The Rat in future books.
