Review
Praise for Jimmy Coates: Revenge
"Boys love this stuff, and so do girls. Jimmy is a pint-sized verision of Robocop or Terminator… Like Anthony Horowitz's splendid fantasies, [these novels] tap into almost everything a bolshy boy wants and feels. Immensely clever, immediately engaging, they will prepare a child for Orwell and Huxley." Amanda Craig, The Times
"Fast-paced and intelligently written." The Bookseller
"the sort of book to wow reluctant boy readers away from computer games and into the pages of a book." Books for Keeps
"Joe Craig has produced another thrilling page-turner." Jewish Chronicle
"A rollicking good spy romp." School House magazine.
And for Jimmy Coates: Target
"With cinematic skill, Craig unrolls a series of action-packed scenes, with a new crisis at every turn of the page. It's gripping, but not mindless” Angela Kilverstein
Praise for Jimmy Coates: Killer
“…a totally excellent adventure – a lit bit Bond, a lit bit Matrix and a lot of what you’ve never read before. Someone make this into a movie!” Flipside
“A gripping action-thriller that’s packed with twists.” Funday Times
“[Joe Craig] has developed the sharp satirical edge that keeps the new generation of boys hooked on books. Which is, in itself, the act of a superhero.” Amanda Craig, The Times
“The perfect primer to the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum.” VOYA
“…By turns excitingly action-packed, believably sensible and character driven, and then refreshingly paranoid, this is a book I'd be happy to recommend to the kid in everyone." Vector

Format:Paperback
This is my favorite Joe Craig Jimmy Coates book. I did not really like killer too much, maybe as I was comparing ot to Alex Rider. This is a must read.

Format:Paperback
Bought this for my 11 year old (year 6) son who is an avid reader and who had just reached the end of the Artemis Fowl books available and wanted something 'like the Bourne Identity film but for kids' with a hero that is not an adult (ie someone he can relate to)He had also enjoyed the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz which has a similar level of being a thriller but not too dark. I haven't read it myself of course, but he has loved it and is enjoying the whole series, can't put them down!!

I bought this for my 15 year old son after reading several reviews and thinking it would be appropriate. He enjoyed the book but thought it was written for younger teenagers - perhaps 12/13.
