Product Description

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. Praise 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 "The perfect primer to the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum." VOYA

Product Description

Jimmy's back in the electrifying sequel to Jimmy Coates: Killer. Stand back for this new high-speed adventure, packed with surprises, danger and escape against the odds. "Jimmy's fingers were slipping. Smeared with blood, he had hardly any grip. He had to hold on. Mitchell chopped his hand down hard into Jimmy's shoulder, cutting off the nerves to his fingers. Staring up into Mitchell's ice-cold eyes, Jimmy fell into the shredder." Jimmy Coates is still on the run -- and this time NJ7 are pulling no punches. They're out for blood, and even though Jimmy has gone into hiding in France, they still track him down. Jimmy might think that life could hold no further surprises for him -- but he's very, very wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Get Ready For A Great Ride, 31 Mar 2006
By Don "doca2" (London England) - See all my reviews
I read the review of this in The Times that praised it to the sky, so I thought I'd try it out for my two sons, 10 and 13.
What can I say except - I'm now the most popular Dad in the World, and they're begging me for the other Jimmy Coates book.
Once I'd also read this book, I understood why. It goes at such an amazing pace that it puts even most computer games in the shade. But what most impressed me was that it's not just about action scene after action scene. There's a real depth to this story and the characters that I haven't come across in other books for the same age group, certainly not in other action books.
Jimmy Coates is a fascinating character facing a crisis in his personality that asks a lot about the basics of human nature. It's quite an achievement for a book to grip two boys aged ten and thirteen AND get their old Dad thinking about things he's never thought about before.
I can't wait to read the first Jimmy Coates book, and here's hoping there will be many many more in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!, 4 April 2006
This book is one that you cannot put down. It is so gripping. Even if you haven't read the first Jimmy Coates book it doesn't matter you can still read this one and it will make sense but this one is even better than the first one.
Because of this book Jimmy Coates is better than Cherub and they are both better than Alex Rider.I hope you like this book as much as I did. I cannot wait to read the next Jimmy Coates book Jimmy Coates: REVENGE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 19 Oct 2008
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This is the sequel to JIMMY COATES: ASSASSIN?

I had a little trouble wrapping my imagination around a main character who was a robot but also 38 percent human, and who was programmed to be a killing machine. However, Jimmy is a very compelling character, especially when his human side takes over and decides to do the right thing.

The harsh government of Great Britain in Jimmy's era is a cruel dictatorship known as NJ7. Jimmy belongs to them, but then he joins forces with the opposition government. NJ7 realizes that Jimmy knows enough to be a serious problem to them, so they send another robot boy to kill him.

Joe Craig has an incredible imagination and he really puts it to the test in this exciting and innovative thriller. It is filled with high-octane chases and hair-raising escapes that kept me reading into the early morning hours. The personal inner conflict that Jimmy has between his human and robot sides is gripping. He desperately wants to just be a normal boy, but has to deal with the fact that he was created by NJ7 to kill.

I can't wait for the next installment of this great sci-fi/fantasy/action-adventure series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Blowing!
This book is even more amazing than the first installment. The action starts from the first chapter and barely lets up until the final page. Read more
