Review of Jimmy Coates: Target
Jimmy Coates: Target by Joe Craig was an interesting, action packed book. This fast paced book was a great sequel to Jimmy Coates: Assassin.
While in France hiding, Jimmy learns more and more about himself. But as his many skills develop greater and better strengths, Jimmy's mind is in a haze. 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?
Jimmy's many fights and unimaginable stunts are clearly visible by the reader. The description and narration throughout the book transports you into the hectic world of Jimmy Coates.
The struggle between Jimmy's human and genetically altered nonhuman's will are excellently depicted in all aspects of his life. If it be straggling his friend because of surprise or to simply go to sleep, there is a battle going on inside him.
A difference between this book and the previous installment is the side stories. While Jimmy is trying to survive, his enemies are growing more powerful. We begin to acknowledge different character's personalities, wills, and loyalties. 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.
Jimmy Coates: Target is a worthwhile read that is full of action, suspense, thrills, and even a little mystery. 4 out of 5 stars.
