Advantages: Good storyline
Disadvantages: Not as good as the rest of the series

I have loved the whole cherub series, however this book was not as good as the others in the series. Dont get my wrong, this is still a good book, however it did not hold my interest as well as some of the others did, suck as The Recruit, Class A, or The Fall did. It is still worth reading this book, however, if you hav not read any of the rest of the series, then read the others first, and if you do choose to read this book first, then do not take ...

Man vs Beast is the sixth book in an excellent series by Robert Muchamore.

Advantages: exciting, imaginative, great for boys who'd rather not read
Disadvantages: not really suitable for younger boys

I bought this for my son aged 9. I am trying to encourage him to read and, as he loves adventure stories and stories about boys doing exciting things, Class A seemed to tick the boxes. The story was not quite what I expected and may not be suitable for someone as young as 9.

...in missions, for example, spying,trapping criminals or gathering intelligence and they are frequently placed in very dangerous stuations. This story not surprisingly, involved sorting out drug dealers. My son adored the story.. he thought it was exciting, interesting and he identified strongly with the main characters (strong, a bit rebellious, not afraid, big hit with the girls, funny , not in love with homework- all the things 9 year old boys want ...
