Though this is the 3rd book in the series, it is the first I have read, but I didn’t feel I had missed anything. So nice when you don’t have to go back and find the first two - just to understand what is going on.
``Dangerous Donkeys`` is the story of teenage ‘agents’, male and female, finding ways to help the world. Sometimes they find themselves in downright dangerous situations, and the author has found clever solutions to difficult circumstances.
I quite enjoyed this “Young Adult” book! Alaric Adair’s “Dangerous Donkeys” is full of action and flows well throughout. The main characters are teenagers, and are very well developed. Once I got into the story I had to keep reading to discover how it ended.
The violence is minimal, there isn’t any foul language and I would be happy to gift this book to a teenager in my life.
I received this book for free from a librarything.com draw.

Being the third part in of the books around Adam Cranford, it was the first of the series I read, and I think any reader will be able to dip into the story without problems, because things/situations that have taken place before will be explained.
As to the book itself, personally I didn't find the characters and dialogues very engaging. While I like the idea of Adam as a brave and smart boy, doing good as a member of "The Foundation", the story itself - while obviously being fiction - was simply to unrealistic for my taste. Others might see this differently and love the book; especially boys with a penchant for Batman-goes-James-Bond kind of stories. So I'm probably just the wrong audience for Alaric Adairs book.
In short: An adventure story teenage boys will probably love, but I unfortunatelly didn't!
