The side stories help to smooth the bumpy edges of the book out and creates a 360 degree view and understanding of the book through all the characters eyes. We begin to acknowledge different character's personalities, wills, and loyalties. While Jimmy is trying to survive, his enemies are growing more powerful. If it be straggling his friend because of surprise or to simply go to sleep, there is a battle going on inside him.Ī difference between this book and the previous installment is the side stories. The struggle between Jimmy's human and genetically altered nonhuman's will are excellently depicted in all aspects of his life. The description and narration throughout the book transports you into the hectic world of Jimmy Coates. Jimmy's many fights and unimaginable stunts are clearly visible by the reader. How can he possibly concentrate if everyone depends on him? How can he be there for them and act mature for their benefit, if deep down he is fighting? But as his many skills develop greater and better strengths, Jimmy's mind is in a haze. While in France hiding, Jimmy learns more and more about himself.
This fast paced book was a great sequel to Jimmy Coates: Assassin.
Jimmy Coates: Target by Joe Craig was an interesting, action packed book. I can't wait for the next installment of this great sci-fi/fantasy/action-adventure series. He desperately wants to just be a normal boy, but has to deal with the fact that he was created by NJ7 to kill. The personal inner conflict that Jimmy has between his human and robot sides is gripping. It is filled with high-octane chases and hair-raising escapes that kept me reading into the early morning hours. Joe Craig has an incredible imagination and he really puts it to the test in this exciting and innovative thriller. NJ7 realizes that Jimmy knows enough to be a serious problem to them, so they send another robot boy to kill him. Jimmy belongs to them, but then he joins forces with the opposition government. The harsh government of Great Britain in Jimmy's era is a cruel dictatorship known as NJ7.
However, Jimmy is a very compelling character, especially when his human side takes over and decides to do the right thing. I had a little trouble wrapping my imagination around a main character who was a robot but also 38 percent human, and who was programmed to be a killing machine. This is the sequel to JIMMY COATES: ASSASSIN?
