SilverFin by Charlie Higson



(384 pages)



FILE NOTE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL - AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY Subject: James Bond Age: 13 Description: dark hair that falls in a comma above his brow, despite efforts to control it; blue eyes; tall for age; surprisingly strong; fluent French, good German. Essential components: A villain so vile no white fluffy cat would go near him A girl - blond, green-eyed, named Wilder Lawless One fast car. Additional detail: Sinister experiments at a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands The disappearance of a young boy Britain building to war in the 1930s Summary: A must-read book for spring. A hot sequel follows in autumn.

This was a really enjoyable read, obviously designed for young teenage boys. I was particularly fond of the tournament at Eton and the driving lessons :)
I would like to read the rest of the series to see how this young Bond turned into Sean Connery and co.
Recommended to all spy wannabes ;)
