Good

This book, The Highest Form of Killing wasa weel writen book. At first you were on the edge of yoursets but as the story moved on it got less and less interesting. I would recomend it to anyone who likes mysteries and has time.

Buy it!

I recieved this book as a gift from my parents. At first I thought it would be boring, the title didn't sound very appealing to me, and the beginning of the book didn't really grab my attention. But as I read on the story seemed to weave into a plot of excitement with an undercurrent of romance, fullfilled in a love triangle between the 3 main characters. The story line really grabbed my attention, pleading me to read on faster, just to find out what happened. Mark, Slyvia and Derek, the 3 main characters, each have a realistic personality which gives the story an even more lifelike feel. Although the story is based upon the dissapearance and leacking of a highly dangerouse, poisonouse gas, linking with the MOD and Military, you do not need to have any interest in these fields- I don't, and I still found the book an excellent read! I have read this book 3 times already, and each time I still get wrapped up in the story line, and cry at the ending. I would advise anyone who enjoys reading books for young adults/elderly teens to definitely give this book a try.
