I started reading this series because I had nothing else to read and both my brother and mother had read them, or at least some of them, and liked them. I used to think they were books for children, which in a certain way they are, but they're also very good and interesting books. I love the different characters, the original story, and even thought the main character, James, can be a big idiot and a pig at times, mostly I like him. Every book has a different story, which you won't be able to stop until you've finished it. A great series. The reason why I read this book was because my brother persuaded me to read the first book of the 'Cherub' series. I couldn't get enough they are interesting, funny and adventurous books. The category this book represents from the bingo board is 'A book recommended by a member of your family' This series/book was recommended to me by my brother. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every book of this series. It was lucky that my brother recommended me this series because it has everything I like in a book: it hooks you in right from the start, it's adventurous also it has a little bit of romance. I'm very sad that this book is the last book of the cherub series. My favourite character is James Adam because the books are based on his life before he went to cherub and his life inside. They also talk about all the missions and mischief that happens in cherub. James plays a big part in Shadow Wave because he has to decide wether he turns on his oldest friend Kyle or betray Cherub which has been his home ever since his mother died. James chose to quit the mission for Cherub so he could help Kyle save the victims and their homes which were destroyed by a tsunami. The governor of the island Tan Abdullah doesn't care about rebuilding new homes for the village people he just wants to clear the land and make it in to luxurious hotels. My favourite quote from this book is: " Mentioning violence to Bruce was like mentioning chocolate sauce to a six-year-old." It's my favourite quote because I like how Robert Muchamore displays Bruce's passion for violence and compares it to a six-year-olds love of chocolate sauce. This quote represents that Bruce enjoys hearing about his and other people's fights because he is a fight fanatic. The thing I learn't from this book is that friendship is really important no matter what. It's hard to chose between friends and work but friends will always be there for you no matter what happens.
What do You think about Skyggebølge, Cherub #12 (2010)?
Shadow Wave is the final novel of the cherub series and in my opinion, a perfect ending for James Adams. The book starts with James back in Devon with the Brigands MC trying to bring down the Furher. I think that it was great to finish the Brigands mission for it was one of the best missions that James have ever done. However, to me the Brigands mission was just a prologue. After a tsunami causes massive devastation to a tropical island, its governor sends in the bulldozers to knock down villages, replacing them with luxury hotels.Guarding the corrupt governor’s family isn’t James Adams’ idea of the perfect mission, especially as it’s going to be his last as a CHERUB agent. And then retired colleague Kyle Blueman comes up with an unofficial mission.I believe that this is a perfect way to finish the series. As James continued on with his Cherub career, he had times when he doubted the ethical part of the mission. It was a very good idea of Robert Muchamore to end the story by James going against cherub and fights to bring the evil (If you wish to call it that way) down. I praise Robert Muchamore for this fantastic spy novels and James Adams will remain as one of my favorite characters.

I chose to read this book because I have read the books before this one in the series.This book goes into the category of " Your own choice" this category interests me because I can read what ever I want. My favourite quote from the book is " Mentioning violence to Bruce is like mentioning chocolate sauce to a 6 year old" because I laughed when I read this quotes.Something I learnt from this book is that change is inevitable.A setting that was interesting is Malaysia during the earthquake. It describe the setting very well because it told us what the silt felt like and how the trees were disfigured/ I could imagine it quite clearly.
