Boy Nobody is a highly trained assassin.
He's given assignments on a pretty regular basis and finishing them has become a routine.
Get close the the mark, kill the target, then disappear.
Follow orders. No questions asked.
That is, until the mayor of New York becomes his target and the daughter as his mark.
I absolutely love this book - the characters, the plot. Boy Nobody deals with a cold hearted killer and that is something you'll never forget.
He thinks like an assassin, moves like an assassin. Indifferent to emotion, always calculative. And I love that. His voice is strong and seemingly unbreakable - at first - and I'm impressed at how Zadoff was able to keep it both humane and inhuman.
The plot line was quite common in the teenage-killers genre but when you start to predict what happens next, it completely swerves from your guesses. (Oh my god, the ending.)
My only dislike is Ben and Sam's "love story" that was only a span of four days. It was too fast to be even called love (on Ben's part). But then again, he was deprived of any personal emotional connection for so long.
Boy Nobody is an action packed novel full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep your at the edge of your seat.
And I can't even begin how coll those iPhone apps are!
