Summary: Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Comment: This is the sequel to JIMMY COATES: ASSASSIN?
I had a little trouble wrapping my imagination around a main character who was a robot but also 38 percent human, and who was programmed to be a killing machine. However, Jimmy is a very compelling character, especially when his human side takes over and decides to do the right thing.
The harsh government of Great Britain in Jimmy's era is a cruel dictatorship known as NJ7. Jimmy belongs to them, but then he joins forces with the opposition government. NJ7 realizes that Jimmy knows enough to be a serious problem to them, so they send another robot boy to kill him.
Joe Craig has an incredible imagination and he really puts it to the test in this exciting and innovative thriller. It is filled with high-octane chases and hair-raising escapes that kept me reading into the early morning hours. The personal inner conflict that Jimmy has between his human and robot sides is gripping. He desperately wants to just be a normal boy, but has to deal with the fact that he was created by NJ7 to kill.
I can't wait for the next installment of this great sci-fi/fantasy/action-adventure series.

Summary: Ok, Not as good as Jason Steed or Alex Rider
Comment: Dont get me wrong its a good book and I and my two teen boys like the Jimmy Coates books. BUT: If you have been ready Anthony Horowitz's book's Alex Rider or Jason Steed (Under a pen name) You will understand my comments.
Jason Steed and Alex Rider are more 'Real Life' this is a little more science fiction. Saying that Joe Craig is a great author and these are really good books, I will continue to read the rest of the series. My youngest son (12) prefers Jimmy Coates to young James Bond.
The Jimmy Coates series is better than the Cherub series.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great book, good story
Comment: A great read, for young adults and adults alike. At first I thought, is this just an Alex Rider copy?? But as you get reading you find its not, its just as good and fast.
The new range of young adult boks are really making a change in peoples reading style.
The Alex Rider series, Fldgeling Jason Steed, Cody Banks and Young James Bond are all great novels.
Customer Rating:
Summary: More than an Alex Rider rip off.
Comment: Jimmy Coates: Killer and in fact, ALL of the Jimmy Coates series has something special. This isn't your simple teenage boy super spy hero boy. Yes, there is that element to it that I think apeals to the younger teenage boy audience. But there is also something I've never quite read before. The concept of the part human, part killing machine. It's an astonishing read with great action for those looking for thrils and spills, but also a compelling read for those looking for a deeper message in a young teenage book. Jimmy Coates has to fight not only the enemies from outside, but his own nature. His own pre-programmed destiny. It's the ultimate battle of the struggle to understand the nature of who you really are deep down inside. Also, Joe Craig's study of Politics shines through in this book also, though some readers might not notice it. The story is built on a deeply politically corrupt ground and strengthens the notion that this book isn't just another Alex Rider rip off. This story is much, much more than that. Why not try it for yourself?

Summary: Book review for Jimmy Coates; Killer By Joe Craig
Comment: When I picked up "Jimmy Coates; Killer" in the bookshop, I was intrigued just by looking at the front cover. That is why I bought it.
As soon as I had read the first couple of pages I knew that this was something that I had never come across before.
The idea of a genetically modified person becoming an assassin and working for the most advance secret service in Britain was an extremely good one.
I especially enjoyed the way that Joe Craig presented each section of the story; it was like he knew from personal experience.
Overall I would give this book 10/10 and recommend it to anyone who likes a lot of action and adventure.
