Charlie Higson Blood Fever Young James Bond Book 2
I was looking forward to this story having read the first book and really enjoyed it. Charlie Higson did not disappoint and in the second book we meet the young James Bond again this time coming to the aid of a damsel in distress. The action centers around Eton where James is in his second term and then later moves to Sardinia when they go on a school holiday trip to do some archeology. The story again has an evil villain in true James Bond style who will stop at nothing to get his way. I have to admit that this was not as gripping as the first story and I did find the story was not as well constructed however it remains a good read and will not stop me moving on to the third and fourth books. I thoroughly recommend this book for all those budding James Bonds. This is how stories should be. 7 out of 10

I thought Blood Fever was a really good book. It is the second book in the series of Young Bond books. It is about James Bond as a boy who goes to Italy on a school trip but then goes to cousins to stay. His cousin is around 21 and has some servants. There he finds a sinister count who has a mountain fortress and close to his own army. This book is good because the way the story goes along is brilliant: something amazing happens then it quietens down and then suddenly something else amazing happens. I give this book 7/10 because I have read better books but at the same time it is really good.
