I really enjoyed the book as I like spy books and movies,  and the book makes it easy to see it and picture in your head. I would definitely recommend this book.  And Anthony Horowitz has definitely achieved his goal, and also the book was very well written as he drags you into it and makes you not want to put it down

I would rate this book 10/10
