The book Maximum Security by Robert Muchamore is awesome. What makes it awesome is all the action, the suspense and all the little pieces of humor Robert Muchamore puts in the story. This book has a little bit of everything.
The book Maximum Security is action packed. In just the second chapter of the book, the CHERUB group is at a bowling alley, these other high school kids show up and start spilling soda on them and then a fight ensues. I few chapters later I read about these things called “buddy” bombs. Robert Muchamore described them as a one shot, one kill type thing and the twist was that each rocket cost a million dollars. But there was a second twist. This story takes place in Great Britain and their ally is the United States and in the middle of shipping the buddy bombs to the U.S. they were “lost” otherwise taken. So that added a great deal of suspense to the story.
Another thing that really makes Robert Muchamore a great writer is that he thinks like a reader. He knows that reading can get boring so he put little pieces of humor in his story where it can start to get wordy or a little bit boring. I haven’t read a book like Maximum Security before.
One of the things that really stands out about Robert Muchamore is how he describes the charters in the story. He creates a visual picture in your head. He doesn’t just tell you how they look, he tells you what they are like, their personalities, their past, if they are a happy or if they are just an overall mad person. For example there was one woman in her thirties who had just came out of the army. Robert Muchamore described her as an overall biter girl that basically had no feelings. He said that she did not care about how anyone felt except for her boss.
Those are the reasons that I think Maximum Security is an amazing book. The humor, word placement, the description of the charters, the suspense and the action packed chapters. They all come together and make an amazing story.
