My rating: 1 - 5: I rate this book a 4 out of 5 because in some parts the story loses track and starts talking about something else.
Describe the main character(s)
James Bond: A brave, young, English boy, with the heart of A Lion.
Lord Randolph Hellebore: A crazed lunatic that experiments on humans and pigs.
Red Kelly: A funny, brave, boy that met James on a train

Memorable passage in the story: 'James recoiled, but then forced himself to look at what had once been a man. Algar was taller than Randolph though stooped over. His arms were enormous, and great knots of swollen muscle showed through his thin, filthy shirt, but there was something ruined about him,as if he could hardly carry his own weight.His skin was smooth, shiny and grey, stretched tight over his vast frame, and it glistened with oily sweat. The face was wrecked; it looked like it had split down the middle and been forced apart, so that the nose was flattened and stretched, the teeth had seperated and the eyes had curved round almost to the side of his head.'
Favourite part in the story: My favourite part in the story is when Lord Hellebore starts talking about his brother Algar.

Likes and dislikes about the story: I like how the story is full of action and suspence. I don't like how it loses track though. But overall it's a great book!


What audience would this book be best suited to?: I think that this book is best suited for any mature action loving readers.
