A cracking adventure whatever the age of the reader
I’m gonna admit it, when these books were first released I didn’t so much turn my nose up at them just didn’t think they’d be very good. Boy was I wrong!
This is a really enjoyable novel and I thought performance was also very engaging.
There’s something very hogwarts about Higson’s
Description of Eton and whilst my only real critique is that maybe too much of the older Bond’s life is setup in this story that felt a little convenient. However if given the opportunity I probably would have done the same.
i did appreciate the snips of history and even the lesson on how a car works which I could see as a really clever way to slip in some education into the story. Moving on to book 2 now and really looking forward it!

Marvellous
Loved it. Great story and Nathaniel Parker's performance is perfect. What must it be like to be Charlie Higson? He has been a rock star, tv comedy star and novelist. I am 56 and still haven't worked out what I want to do when I grow up.

Fantastic story, very well read
Forget about this being “young Bond”, although the author uses this premise well, it’s a great story and very well performed with excellent voices for each character. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Best children’s book yet
I’ve never been so blown away. The first instalment of young bond was pure genius, the story overwhelmingly strong, but yet the character development was top notch, with the cheeky combination of red kelly and James Bond filling me with utter delight. Nathanial Parker portrayed the story with ease and his venomous voices for the villains adding to the tension of the whole thing. From murder to a mismatch of investigators, an amazing start to an amazing series. Pure class

A great story well told
This was a fantastic book. Everything from the characters, plot and pace were just about perfect.
I’m in my ‘60s now but would have loved this in my teenage years too. Now downloaded the next four stories. Superb.

The name's Bond, James Bond
A fantastic first ever "mission" for the young James Bond.
Silverfin may be a book for "teens", but I think it's a must listen / read (I also own most of the books for this series) for any James Bond fan.
