The Prisoner: Book 5 (Henderson's Boys)

Love it are. It is not my favorite but I really like the way the way the author put in Marc's old live back to the book and he also sprinkled a little bit of love

Interesting book

Plenty of action and cleverness- very good overall

This is a good read. It was exciting and had a great story line . I would recommend this book to other teenage readers.

The series was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't thank him enough for recommending it,it is definitely one of my favourite series's

love the books! Read CHERUBS too!

Another good book in the HB series - glad to finally see what happened to Mark. Highly recommend this series!

I couldn't put the book down it was so cool. The idea behind using kids for undercover operations is really cool but unnerving

The henderson's Boys books were the first of the CHERUB books that i read. I was riveted from start to finish. However there are some obvious mistakes in the series which could have been avoided by some research:Just as an instance:-In the earlier books SS?Gestapo officers were given military not SS ranks (happily in the later books this was rectified)In one book we had a captain, in army uniform visiting the establishment. An army captain is lower in rank than a naval commander, so would not have been called sir or saluted first by Henderson..The sergeant who was in charge of parachute training was called sir by a lot of people. NO! Maybe the 'kids' would have called him sir but anyone else would have addressed him as sergeant, sarge or sar'nt.The sergeant who trained the 'kids' as snipers was referred to as an Air Force sergeant. He would have been an Army Air Force sergeant.Little details but as I said - a little research would have avoided this.I was not keen on the many references to thrashings and to even suggest that Henderson would have authorised a 'birching' of one boy by another just a short time before a mission is kind of ridiculous. The only related issue that I found slightly amusing was when Marc was caned on his bare backside by a tiny nun for fighting.All in all, though, I really enjoyed the whole HB series, and was sorry when there were no more to read.. .

Considering it was bought from the used section, great price and still in much better condition than expected. My son was pleased with it.

From the very start this book captures your imagination, and takes you into World War two. The main character Marc tries to bust out of a german prison with four other inmates, and so the adventures begin. I strongly recommend this book to other eleven+ readers, I have read all the "Cherub" & "Henderson boys" series and this is one of the best yet.

The book follows on smoothly from Grey Wolves. Written in Muchamores usual style and flows easily. As an adult it is nice to have a book that moves along at a pace that keeps you interested and not bogged down with minute details. Fast flowing but with lots of emotion, feeling what the characters are going through. Recommend the whole series of Henderson boys and Cherub to young and old. Thoroughly good read

Robert Muchamore has done it again with a book full of action, suspense and heartfelt emotions. He has always been an incredible author, first with the CHERUB series, and now Henderson's boys. When will he stop?
