I was hoping this would be a sort of "I am Number Four" book, but I honestly have too many questions about the plot holes to really enjoy it.

I enjoyed this! The cover lured me in and the synopsis just yelled you got to read me and I am so excited I did. It was so mysterious and full of action and edge of your seat moments that I stayed up well into the night trying to finish! The whole idea behind this story was just beyond awesome!

I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.

I really liked this book. I can't say that the story of a teenage assassin was entirely believable but it was thoroughly entertaining. I plan to read the next book to see where the story goes.

I did not connect with the main character, and found his emotionless personality off-putting. There's a lot of action, so I can see reluctant readers getting sucked in, but I didn't feel about it the way I hoped I would.

YA novel about a teen aged assassin. Sounds horrible, doesn't it? It is really very, very good. A complicated enough mystery surrounding the backstory to keep one engaged in the series.

I found this one really easy to enjoy. It's one of those reads that has the mystery and action to break up between your other reads and clear your head a bit. My only gripe was the narrator at times, and the way this author portrays female voice.. Other than that, it made for a very enjoying read.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to review this title. I absolutely loved it and appreciate being able to have the opportunity to read it. Thank you.

I was unable to finish the book, but thank you for the opportunity.

This is one of the most exciting, involving books I have read in a long time.

A sixteen year old boy is a trained assassin. He was found and brought in to the 'company' by 'Mike' - the assassin who killed the boy's mother and father. Now, 'Mother' and 'Father' and the invisible leaders sending orders to the young man, and presumably others like him, to perform assassinations.

Through a series of codes, he gets his new assignment and is enrolled in a new school, given a new name and he begins to live as 'Ben' at a new high school. Although he doesn't look like the athletic type, because of his training he's quick and dangerous and deadly. And lucky. (As we see when he's followed by a series of mob killers.)

But on this particular mission, 'Ben' is thrown for a loop. A loop by the name of Sam - short for Samara.

Ben is too professional and too cagey to get caught up in anything resembling a relationship, but Ben IS also a sixteen year old boy and all the training in the world doesn't trump hormones.

Ben and Sam aren't a cute couple, by any stretch of the imagination, but both see something in the other that they recognize and respect, even though they maybe can't quite define it. Sam is the daughter of New York's mayor and Ben's next target.

Ben does not kill the mayor when he has the chance and this mission drags out longer than any other he's been on. 'Mother' and 'Father' take note and recognize that he may be distracted by a girl and try to take matters into their own hands to keep Ben focused.

Author Allen Zadoff's writing style is brief and direct. It fits perfectly with the near-emotionless Ben and his training. It also makes for very easy reading. Zadoff also knows how to end a chapter, making the reader crave to read on.

This book is high energy and pure thriller excitement. I can't imagine any teenager NOT wanting to read this, and once read, they are likely to want to read the next one and the next one and the ...

Looking for a good book? Allen Zadoff's <em>I Am the Weapon</em> is a young adult thriller that is easy and exciting to read and you won't want to put it down.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

I truly enjoy this book, it kept me reading till the end. I would certainly be reading more of this amazing author. I suggest you read it, you will certainly won’t be disappointed. I usually don't read this type of books, but I read the summary and got very interested. Thank you for the opportunity I will look forward for more from this author.

Sorry, requested but did not find the time to review.
