5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book!, June 6, 2005

This review is from: Spy High Mission Two: Chaos Rising (Spy High (Little Brown and Company)) (Paperback)

Deveraux Academy is not what it seems. From a distance it looks like a normal high school. It has a football team, kids walking down the halls with school books, and a normal receptionist just beyond the front door, but the second you go beyond that, Deveraux Academy is a school for training spies. Ben, Jake, Lori, Jennifer, Eddie, and Cally are students at Deveraux and are members of the Bond team. With all of the competition among teams for the Sherlock Shield, an award given to the most honorable team, the Bond team faces other problems, too. A secret terrorist organization, known as C.H.A.O.S., has created a super computer virus with huge destructive capabilities, and the Bond team is assigned to destroy it.

The story described, Spy High Mission Two: Chaos Rising by A.J. Butcher is well- written. It uses strong, detailed vocabulary and is very entertaining. It is filled with action which makes you keep reading and it also contains some horror to give it an exciting scare-factor. Although the plot is complicated, it makes it entertaining. The story isn't based in present day times; it's based slightly in the future making it unique. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action, horror, and spies. I would also recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed reading the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz; this series, though, has more characters and horror to make it unique.

This review is from: Spy High Mission Two: Chaos Rising (Spy High (Little Brown and Company)) (Paperback)

When a terrorist group called Chaos makes

disaster fall upon the world by making computer

controlled things go out of control a group of

teenagers called Bond team has to stop them. But

when they learn from a Chaos leader that a

supervirus, Nemis, that Chaos created has broken

free of their control, Bond team knows this is

going to be a hard mission. Since their teammate

Cally, has her mind trapped with Nemis, Bond team

knows they have to face Nemis head on in the

virtual world. A Bond teammate, Lori, gets a

crazy scientist to create some devices to defeat

Nemis, but even with these new inventions, will

they still be able to defeat Nemis?

I thought the flow of the book was great,

fast, and exciting. With this style of writing

and a great exciting adventure I couldn't put the

book down, even for a while. The book also made

you want to get up at times and pretend to be the

character/characters. The author had just the

right amount of details that he needed to write.

The book still had action and was very exciting.

The book kept the reader guessing to the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars The story continues..., December 31, 2005

This review is from: Spy High Mission Two: Chaos Rising (Spy High (Little Brown and Company)) (Paperback)

Where the first book left off, this one picks up. The second installment of twelve, Chaos Rising dives right into the action. The first book (mission 1) had to cover backgroud stories, character profiles and general setups. Now that all that is done, these books go straight into action from the start. Not just an adventure story, these six characters are coming of age in these books. Part of the enjoyment of any series (Harry included) is that you can witness these characters change over a longer time than just in one book. Not only do they deal with world terrorist, but also personal relationships and the ineveitable identity issues we all must go through in the teenage years. For anyone just looking for something fun to read that isn't a huge investment in time, money or energy. Though, once you start you'll want to read them all.
