Cherub: Mad Dogs

[alobear]

Mad Dogs is the eighth Cherub book by Robert Muchamore. I wasn't that keen on the last one I listened to, and this one wasn't much better. I appear to have hit the point of diminishing returns with this series. There was more of a mission this time than in the last book, though only in the second half. To begin with, James was helping out with training the younger recruits, and this didn't seem to connect to him infiltrating a drug dealer's gang later in the book, so it all felt rather disjointed. There were some good moments, though the peripheral characters I particularly like weren't in it much, and the ultimate show-down wasn't that interesting. I shall persevere for a bit, since it was still quite fun overall, and they're very short, so it's not that much of a time investment if the next one doesn't turn out to be any better.
