5.0 out of 5 starsWhere was this book when I was a kid?
By George R. Gifford on June 6, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Westhoff’s book is a smart, fun, and exciting adventure to exotic locations where the reader experiences nonstop action, adventure, and young romance through the eyes of the books hero Brian Parker. Parker, an average American teen on a class trip to Europe, is thrown unexpectedly into the world of international espionage and spy craft where he is forced to rely on his education and wit to survive. Parker pushes himself beyond his limits to discover new inner strengths.

With the author's subtle James Bond and Alfred Hitchcock in jokes, adults will enjoy this international adventure. As another review here mentioned, this book would be great for class discussion in social studies and history classes.

I highly recommend The Boy Who Knew Too Much for teens and adults.

I’m sure Ian Fleming would approve.

5.0 out of 5 starsTerrific debut Young Adult novel!
By Raymond Benson on July 5, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This fabulous Young Adult novel mixes a Hitchcockian "man on the run across country" plot with Bond-like spy stuff, and it brilliantly succeeds. I'm convinced that Jeffrey Westhoff should perhaps write the "Young Bond" novels! For a debut novel, "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" is extraordinary. It moves at a brisk pace, it's got a great teenage character at its helm (and great female foil), and a twisty plot. The bad guys are all adults, of course, which sometimes makes for uncomfortable moments when they've got our hero in their clutches, but I guess that's par for the course with Young Bond, too. That aside, the book is suspenseful and a lot of fun, and perfectly fine reading for adults as well as "young" adults.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Brilliant YA Spy Thriller for James Bond and Hitchcock fans
By cwalrus on August 21, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
With its Hitchcockian title and bountiful references to James Bond, Jeffrey Westhoff has written a fantastic YA spy thriller. Having recently read all the books in the Young Bond series, I found all the references Westhoff makes to Bond quite fun as it feels like a book written with the Bond fan community in mind. While anyone who enjoys the spy thriller genre will be pleased to read this book, the novel also stands on its own with its memorable characters, its present day European setting, and exciting chase and action sequences.

Westhoff’s protagonist, 15 year old Brian Parker from Wisconsin, seems like a kid I would have liked to have been friends with in High School. While on a European tour school trip with his school, Brian finds himself embroiled in a real life espionage plot involving a corrupt CIA official, a physicist’s daughter, and a number of dangerous criminals hell bent on preventing Brian from sharing what he finds out about their scheme. The story starts off innocently enough with Brian and his schoolmate chatting about their favorite fictional hero, Foster Blake, and playing a game of “Spot the Spy” in Lucerne, Switzerland. Brian’s idolization of “Foster Blake” is easily identifiable as Westhoff’s thinly-veiled appreciation of the James Bond franchise. Most Bond fans will appreciate the comparisons Brian makes between the “Foster Blake” novels and the movies, which serves to highlight Westhoff’s appreciation of both the literary and cinematic incarnations of the Bond franchise.

Brian encounters the “grey” man he had earlier spotted as a potential spy while off to find a German edition of a Foster Blake novel to complete his collection.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA world of mystery and adventure – the good stuff!
By Paul Baack on June 14, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Just bought this several hours ago, and I can hardly put it down. It's not the same age level, but it gives me the same buzz I used to get when reading the 'Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators' books when I was a kid. That same headlong rush into mystery and adventure; the same kind of likable and admirable lead characters; that same narrative drive that keeps you turning the pages. All the while staying on the innocent side of violence, sexuality, and coarse language (on the flip side, the authorial voice doesn't talk down to the reader, and adults can enjoy this without feeling like they're reading kid's literature). Really well-written and a huge amount of fun! Ian Fleming would've been pleased to know that he inspired this kind of work.

5.0 out of 5 starsnot just for kids!
By Mama P on June 18, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
A very fast paced adventure. The book is classified as YA, but parents will enjoy reading it too. The places Brian Parker goes sound amazing. ( I want to go on the internet to learn more about them. ) I love when a book takes me to new locales but makes it feel like I am right there with the characters. This book does that.

5.0 out of 5 starsA very enjoyable, fast-paced adventure
By Bob G on January 15, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is the kind of book you dive into and finish in a few days, if not one day. The issue of who to trust and who not to trust comes up often. The protagonist faces it often but most of the other main characters do as well - such as the teacher going through procedures to see if she can trust that a boy in her charge is in safe hands. Highly recommended.
