The Best Book

Authors Note: I really like Double or Die probably most of all in the whole James Bond series. I recommend it to be a good read.   



If you had to read an adventure novel that included action, mystery and suspense, what would you think of it? Most people like these characteristics in a book. The author of Double or Die, Charlie Higson, does a great job of creating a mystery that surrounds  the main character, a young James Bond, who seems to always find a problem to solve.
 
Charlie Higson did something I would never expect: to begin a mystery with a letter, that contains a secret code.  I though it was kind of weird  that a teacher would make so many mistakes, but then I found out that he made the mistakes on purpose. There was a cipher or a code, hidden in the mistakes. The cipher plays a big part in the story because it carries through the whole book. In retrospect the cipher  is the last clue and if they never so the letter they wold of never been able to figure out the 1 clue or the other clues, for example you need to examine a lock first to see what kind of key fits in to it. So its like the letter being the lock and the words being the key.

I love that an author can actually create and recreate a mystery and turn it in to a story. The main character James bond also played a big part in the story and all the other characters made it a great story also.
