About Robert Muchamore

ROBERT MUCHAMORE was born in Islington in 1972. As a teenager he dreamt of either becoming an architect, a photographer or a writer. On discovering that architects have to train for seven years and after quitting his Saturday job in a camera shop, he saved up enough money to buy a word processor and set his heart on writing. The only problem was, he didn't know what to write. So, he found a regular job and spent thirteen years as a private investigator. He was inspired to start writing again by his nephew's complaints about the lack of anything decent to read. Robert's CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series are bestsellers around the world. Robert grew up listening to mix tapes sent to him by his older brother, developing tastes for indie bands like Joy Division, The Pogues and The Smiths. The idea for Rock War came from seeing that many of Robert's fans turned up at book signings wearing the logos of long dead rock bands, and a realisation that his online fan forum had more kids talking about the X-Factor than about his books.

I was happy with this book, and I did enjoy it. However, I felt it wasn't as good as some of the previous books in the series, and especially not as great as the original CHERUB novels. I felt that the plot was really slow at points, and while I've always admired Robert Muchamore's realism and down-......more

Goodreads review by Mella on May 01, 2018

It was a struggle to finish this book. My heart just wasn't in it. (view spoiler)[ How could you kill off Rosie? Anyone else and maybe I could've handled it but Paul, Rosie and Marc should've all come through unscathed. (hide spoiler)] So I was too sad to read the rest with any enthusiasm. My questions were answered in the after......more

Quotes

It has the feel of something quite big and satisfying... Muchamore's voice is fresh and direct. Daily Telegraph

Muchamore's plain, punchy, often funny style ... is highly effective... This clever, tense novel is a great way of getting bored boys interested in history. Amanda Craig, The Times

This book was un-put-downable. It gripped me from start to finish, and was just as good as the CHERUB series, if not better! Aaron, 14, First News

Gripping and compelling - Carousel

An awesome book... absolutely action-packed. Daily Record
