Public Enemy Two


By: Anthoy Horowitz
*****
I have just finished reading a book titled Public Enemy Number Two by Anthony Horowitz. This book is about a boy whose name is Nick Diamond who is thirteen. Nick lives with his older brother Tim Diamond. When Nick was in detention, two policemen in disguise try to persuade Nick to go to jail, needs to be locked up in a cell with the most dangerous person in London, Johnny Powers. These 2 policemen want Nick to get some answers from Johnny about who the fence is, but in the end Nick refuses. One day when Nick goes for a school field trip the 2 disguised policemen show up on the scene where Nick admires the most guarded jewel in the whole of London. The 2 policemen slip the jewel into Nick’s pant pocket, and when the guards see that the jewel is in Nick’s pocket they put him into a prison to be locked up with Johnny Powers!

Johnny Powers helped Nick escape from prison with him. In the end his French teacher, Mr. Palis turns out to be the fence, one of the members of Johnny’s gang.

The funniest part of the book is when Tim sits on the vase that he was trying to search all along! The scariest part of the book is when Johnny planted a bomb and Nick’s brother was tied right next to the bomb! Luckily Nick was just in time to see Tim stranded and Nick defused the bomb in just 3 minutes before it EXPLODED!!!
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read mystery books!!
