Summary: How disappointing
Review: Although I anticipated this book because of its concept, and gave it two stars for that concept, I have to admit that I'm really disappointed by this book. The characters are cardboard cutouts of teens who don't seem to have any feelings other than the need to win--whether it's in class, training, love, or virtual reality. The characters quickly got on my nerves because they were so one-dimensional. The supposedly witty repartee felt forced. It was unbelievable. The chapter headings and endings (in a font that's nearly impossible to read) aren't tantalizing--because they float above the story somewhere, unconnected. This could have been a great series. It has a great premise, but it's nearly impossible to read--and I try to finish everything I read to give it a fair chance. Not this book.

Summary: if you like the Alex Rider series youll love this book
Review: This book is about a group of people selected
to train to be spies on a team at a college
nicknamed "Spy High". The group called the Bond
Team fail a simulated test due to lack of team
cooperation so the Head Master send them on a
real mission. The Bond Team must stop an evil
doctor named Frankenstein who is turning people
into mutants that he can control as his private
army. Since they have no chance at beating the
stronger, more numerous mutants, the Bond Team
must use the talents of the entire group to
destroy Dr. Frankenstein's mind control computer.
As they attempt to do so, they learn the
importance of trusting each other and real life
danger.
I really liked this book and I couldn't put it
down. I liked the fast pace of the writing and
the frequent close calls in the dangerous
situations. The high tech gadgets and the
numerous battle scenes made the book more
interesting to me. I thought it was really neat
how they would defeat guards and escape from
rooms and prisons. This book is similar to a book
called Artemis Fowl where Artemis has to fight
imaginary creatures, so if you liked that book,
you'll like this one. The ending of the book was
very good, because it set up the next volume in
the series.

Summary: Give Spy High A Try
Review: This series is definitely one for those who enjoy books such as the Alex Rider series and other spy books. Set in a futuristic setting, Deveraux Academy is not justthe elusive high school as it seems: it's much more. A high school (rightly nick-named Spy High) that trains students as (you guessed it) spies, to be exact. The Bond Team students have been hand picked and marked to succeed- but will the differences of its six members make things worse when they are put into a real (non-holographic) situation? The characters are enjoyable and easy to relate to- and even though it can be a bitsy predictable at times, the books' fast-pace, energy, characters, and thrill make up for it. And I for one, enjoyed this series quite a lot. :)
