I was just wondering if anyone has read this series. It is quite good. It is about abunch of teenagers who are trained to do missions by the M15.

Dumb question: What is the M15?

I think its the CIA version of the UK.

Anyways the Books are great. Even though they apear to stop selling the American versions. It says the seventh book is out but its not in Barnes and Noble

I have Loved it, but i feel i have grown out of it now. I might start reading again in the near future but for now ill stick with my Andy Mcnab

nice books, cute and childish in a way that isn't as juvenile as to patronize the reader. a fun series to read and is guarenteed to make you want to be a spy for the next few hours of you life after reading it.

I got the first book, The Recruit, for my birthday, and it's pretty good. Don't see what all the big fuss is about, though. I'm normally a fantasy person

I love these books. The last ones just come out and it brilliant. Te whole series is about a boy called James whos Mum dies and he goes into a home but then he gets taken into Cherub and the fun begins. There are loads of books and each one is better than the last. The last book Shadow Wave is probibly the best but unfortuantly its the last in the series, but Robert Muchamore is going to do three books that are about a Cherub recruit on the longest mission in Cherub histroy and they look like there going to be brilliant.
The Cherub series is related to the Henderson Boys series so if you've read this series you have to read the Henderson Boys to se how it all began.

I read the first and the second book of this series ("The Recruit" and "The Dealer") and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the series so far. There are twists and turn and lots of interesting moments. The only downside to this series is the dialogue. At times they use words that are words that they only use in Britian, when you read the book you will see.

Otherwise the book is really good and I recomend it to anyone who is into spy novels. With kids who kick major butt.
