I purchased Mad Dogs for my 13 year old son who read it in no time at all along with the rest of the series. He really enjoyed it and recommends it highly!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER AMAZING BOOK (Minor spoiler with warning?), December 29, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mad Dogs (CHERUB #8) (Paperback)

This book was GREAT! It was as good as all the other books in the series.

WARNING: James loses his virginity in this book, no it doesn't describe ANYTHING, just after bruce says something like "I heard you splashing around in the bathroom"

I feel this is where you get a step worse than the others.

This book was still amazing and if you really are crazed and scared of your child reading stuff like that then you can flip to page 269 and rip it out. And if your truly scared also to page 271-273

if your child asks what is wrong and the book is missing some pages you can claim you bought it used and they were probably ripped out by somebody

and they wont miss barely anything important, just Bruce Norris putting up some listening devices


But if your child is in middle school, he probably hears worse things in the hallway every day than whats in the cherub books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Smut for kids, September 21, 2011

Michelle (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mad Dogs (CHERUB #8) (Paperback)

My fourth grader brought this home from his public school classroom. He was looking for a good suspense novel, and his teacher is presumably looking to expand his reading skills. From a literary standpoint, I found the sentence structure of the book very simplistic. The book is mostly dialogue, and the characters speak in short, simple sentences. The content includes talking about a girls "rack," multiple curse words throughout the book, one character calls his mother a female dog's term, one character has sex with a girl in a bathtub, and characters use drugs. This is not the education I'm looking for in elementary school, or at any point for that matter. The book is simplistic and appeals to the lowest domain of children's interests.
