Books like Assassin?

This was no where near as good as Cherub series, Alex Rider books or even Jason Steed. It is closest in style to Jason Steed because of the simplicity of the writing. But even Jason Steed had more depth and back story than this did. I understand that reading these kinds of books means having to let go a lot of unbelievable scenes go like the panther fight in the Jason Steed books, 11 year fights vicious panther and wins with nothing but a claw scratch. The scene was unbelievable, borderline ridiculous but still really fun to read. But the unbelievable scenes in Jimmy Coates Assasin? arent even fun. Just ridiculous and unbelievable For example: 4 kids and two adults bumbling along a train station hoping to find the secret entrance to government facility and than the friend with no skills accidentally punches in correct code on a vending machine in the hopes of getting machine to give him a free chocolate bar. Than the thing just opens and they go inside. This is all with a bunch of randoms on a public platform watching them go. I mean c'mon, that was the most boring and uncreative way for them to break into the government facility. Not even a panther fight to spice up that breakin. No one even tripped while walking in the dark. Which was the extend of the difficulty it took to break in. It was harder to break into their school. At least that scene was more exciting. Its a short book and still the idea of a boy/mutated dna=killer is still fun in some places. Its fun like Sure Fire by Jack Higgins (also has shaky storyline, but even they manage more fun than Jimmy too) Dont be fooled into thinking this is even a barely decent storyline. Its not. I wouldnt even disrespect 12 year olds and say this is for their reading level. This is more for like 9-10 year olds. All the other books I named were more more fun to read than this. But if you already read all those and you are bored to tears I guess you could give it a try.
