Review
Praise for books in the CHERUB series: 'Punchy, exciting, glamorous and, what's more, you'll completely wish it was true.' (The Sunday Express )
'An exciting, swiftly moving tale' (School Librarian )
'An exciting, swiftly moving tale' (School Librarian )
'Packed full of non-stop James Bond style action and very funny too. Fans of Alex Rider will love these high-speed reads.'
Product Description
After a tsunami causes massive devastation to a tropical island, its governor sends in the bulldozers to knock down villages, replacing them with luxury hotels.
Guarding the corrupt governor's family isn't James Adams' idea of the perfect mission, especially as it's going to be his last as a CHERUB agent. And then retired colleague Kyle Blueman comes up with an unofficial and highly dangerous plan of his own.
James must choose between loyalty to CHERUB, and loyalty to his oldest friend.

*SPOILER ALERT*
I have always enjoyed the CHERUB series, despite the books going downhill in the last few. However, I was expecting a lot from Shadow Wave. However, there is no big mission to end on, and half the book is spent telling you the story of Kyle, not James. There was the question posed before it was released "Will James Adams survive?" but there was never any real tension in the book and James was never really in a life or death situation. What's more, the blurb seemed to indicate a tough moral decision for James whether to side with Kyle or CHERUB, but the decision was easy and was made without a second thought, seemingly.
In short, the book lacked a mission and enough time on James, the supposed main character of the stories. It was nice having some of the reminiscing about earlier events, but this could not make up for what is a very lacklustre book which failed to deliver a satisfying conclusion to James Adams's story.
Read it if you wish to complete the series, but do not expect much at all.

I have been a keen reader of the Cherub series and eagerly anticipated the release of Shadow Wave. However I found the lack of action and slow pace made it very difficult to enjoy the book. Most readers will purchase this book hoping for an exciting ending to the series. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU GET. Very disappointing end to what would otherwise be an excellent series.

Format:Paperback
The book is disappointing. Most of it has nothing to do with James, instead we follow a female journalist. The book seems to obsess over the plot as if it is some master plan conclusion to the series, but in actual fact it's just about a rich man building a hotel and how some environmentalists are trying to stop him. Cherub features on the sidelines, and it's hardly Jame's final epic adventure, he barely even features in it.
Very disappointing.
Very disappointing.

Worth reading beacuse you've read all the others.
It is a thoroughly disappointing end to the series, and is fairly mediocre. Not an 'epic conclusion' whatsoever. Read more

Robert Muchamore's Cherub series. Much appreciated by my teenager, he likes hardbacks because he re-reads his books and the hard cover keeps them in shape. Read more
