My daughter Natlaya’s review, thank you for the early review copy.
Romantic, tragic, exciting and terrifyingly believable.
After reading the Cherub series for years this book had high expectations to meet and I’m relieved to say it not only reached them but also surpassed them.
Killer T contains all the best aspects of every genre: romance, tragedy and adventure and served as an amazing days read. The novel addresses very topical issues, such as gene alterations and modifications, and shows the disastrous affects they can cause. The obvious issues the book highlights are those medically; Killer T destroyed entire countries, killed families and murdered the once happy childhood a kid could have. However, the story also hints towards the socially and mentally damaging affects of gene modifications. One of the popular modifications mentioned was the athletic build and showed how many teenage boys felt forced to partake in the therapy to avoid issues like bullying. The need to become perfect or ‘designer’ is topical and an issue which affects young people in real life. Muchamore’s ability to include such important and common issues in such a fast paced and exciting novel highlights his abilities as an author and I look forward to more of his stand-alone novels.
