Silverfin - Young Bond - Author Charlie Higson 2005
I really enjoyed this story. It is a romp through the fields of Eton and the hills of Scotland with James Bond in his formative years showing us where the man we all know as a 007 came from and how he was shaped as a young man. The story does hold your interest. Charlie Higson has an easy reading style and he keeps the story moving so you never get bored. I learnt a lot about the customs of the public school Eton which was very interesting especially the dress code and the way the day was structured for the pupils. The villain in this story is a classic bond caricature and you can almost imagine him stroking a white cat (not that he does in the story as that would have been too corny).
I give this book an 8 out of 10 and I will certainly move on to the other stories in the series to see how the young bond continues to develop.

I thought this book was amazing. The details that the Author put in it were really, really good and I managed to find out what they were talking about instantly. I found out that in the book there was somebody called Uncle Max who dies in the end. (He is James' Uncle.) Uncle Max was actually Charlie Higson's Uncle who died and he has made the book because of him. The Villian in this book was a crazy millionare and he was trying to make a super human but all he achieved was killing three people. Overall I shall give this book 8/10 (Eight out of ten) because this book is interesting, easy to read, and very well detailed.
