Hurricane Gold


by Charlie Higson
Hurricane Gold is the latest in Charlie Higson’s Young Bond series. In the middle of nowhere, on the Caribbean island of Lagrimas Negras, is a place where many criminals with blood on their hands flee to hide and keep a low profile. In the meanwhile, James Bond is with his aunt recovering from the injuries that he had received on his latest adventure. During the rest, a tropical storm hit and the family he is staying with are kidnapped and then he has no choice but to give chase and save them.
Charlie Higson has created an excellent series based on the life of a young James Bond. Basing his ideas on the James Bond we all know now, Charlie Higson writes many stories that retell the experiences that James Bond went through as a child.
I enjoy at the start how the story starts off with what is happening on the island and then goes on to what is happening with James Bond. The words used within this story are very descriptive therefore you can really imagine what is happening. There are many twists and turns where you don’t even know what’s even going to happen.
I give this book 4/5 because it is extremely interesting to read. It just makes you want to NOT drop the book and keep reading till the end.
