Good, interesting story. a simple book, but quite effective. Even taught me a bit of French! Likeable characters, each with their own habits and things that give you the impression of who they are. I liked it!
This book was great! Not the first time I've read it, but when I was younger I didn't enjoy it as much. It was a brilliant story, thrilling but with no excessive amounts of violence and no bad language. I really loved it!
This was an okay book, no emotional pulls whatsoever. I don't know about other people, but sometimes I just want to sink into a book and let someone else's problems make mine feel insignificant for a while. This book had nothing to pull me back, make me want to find out what happens.
it was a good adventure book for younger readers.

I picked this book from the library because on the back on one of my many collected bookmarks it said that if you had read Gallagher Girls (by Ally Carter) or Slated (by Teri Terry) then you would like this. I've read both of those books, so when I saw this one I thought I'd give it a try.
it was the first book I'd read where the Main character was an assassin. Pretty dark, but I guess that dark and assassins go together quite well.
Sometimes this book made me feel like I wanted to laugh, it was so unrealistic. But it was so tense I didn't laugh, and I couldn't stop reading whenever I had a free moment.
Couple of swear words, I will warn you, but not too many.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot! Great, fast paced, tense, and the last quarter especially was very jam packed full of excitement.
haha I saw the ending coming, but I didn't want to believe it, so it surprised me when it happened.
Not sure if I'll read the other books in the series.

Interesting subject. I haven't read a book on this sort of thing before. I was glad that it was written by Anne Fine, because otherwise I guess it could have been a whole lot darker. The ending was a bit quick, compared with the rest of the book. I liked the way it was written from more than one point of view, it made it more interesting to read.
It was very interesting. It was one of those books that really makes you think. I didn't like the bad language though. In some places it was a little boring, but about halfway through (just when I was thinking of reading another book and then coming back to this one) the storyline really picked up. I felt the ending didn't quite wrap the book up like I was hoping it would, but it did it in a realistic way. I enjoyed this book a lot.
hmmm. I don't know, I found it quite strange. for the first 3/4 of the book I couldn't see much point in it, and even at the end, I still found it disappointing. it was well written though, I did enjoy it. but it just didn't have enough meaning to it. not enough for me, anyway. if it had been a long book, I would have been bored stiff.
I mean, there is a lot of serious stuff in this book, a lot, but the author kind of just downsized it all. it was almost like it was mentioned, said how bad it was,and then discarded.
