HIGHER INSTITUTE OF VILLAINOUS EDUCATIONOtto Malpense may only be thirteen years old, but so far he has managed to run the orphanage where he lives, and he has come up with a plan clever enough to trick the most powerful man in the country. He is the perfect candidate to become the world's next supervillain.
That is why he ends up at H.I.V.E., handpicked to become a member of the incoming class. The students have been kidnapped and brought to a secluded island inside a seemingly active volcano, where the school has resided for decades. All the kids are elite; they are the most athletic, the most technically advanced, and the smartest in the country. Inside the cavernous marble rooms, floodlit hangars, and steel doors, the students are enrolled in Villainy Studies and Stealth and Evasion 101. But what Otto soon comes to realize is that this is a six-year program, and leaving is not an option.
With the help of his new friends: an athletic martial-arts expert; a world-famous, beautiful diamond thief; and a spunky computer genius -- the only other people who seem to want to leave -- can Otto achieve what has never been done before and break out of H.I.V.E.?

This could've been a great MG/ YA series, like 39 Clues, but the whole concept and potential was drowned in cliches and lack of character development. Basically, every character had a "specific set of skills" (XD) which the MC could use, and nothing more. Otto, of corse, being the perfect orphan-hero-to-be had all of those skills and more. Now here is some eye-rolling material found in the book: Russian spy named Raven, mysterious dangerous dude called Number One, professor who's literally in aIt was AMAZING. This book is one of the best books i have read in a while. I am very hooked and am committed to reading the whole series. "This book is if Harry Potter met James Bond". It is action backed with cool technology. Already started to devour book 2.
Cheesy and fun, but not without a few problems.
I read this because it was a "Reader's Also Like" for Anthony Horowitz's excellent Alex Rider series. While perhaps written for the same audience, I found it lacking. The premise of kids being snatched to be taught how to become master criminals was decent and the previous accomplishments of the students was probably the highlight of the book; however, now at the school, they seem to become incompetent bumblers despite their prodigious skills -- constantly out-maneuvered by their foes. Otto,
H.I.V.EI have read the book called H.I.V.E and wow, if you can put a little bit of everything into a book this is it. It has action suspense, comedy, drama. This book is now my favorite series other then Eragon. The main character is Otto, but some other ones are Wing Fanchu, Laura, Shelby, and Nigel Darkdoom. They have all been brought to the H.I.V.E. They don't know why, except for the fact that they are some of the most talented criminals the world hasn't seen.It all started when the Prime
Cheesy and fun, but not without a few problems.
When I first looked at the title for this book, im not going to lie, I thought this book was not going to be that good. I thought that this book was going to be really cheesy and predictable, just trying to relate to kids. Boy was I wrong.I really really liked this book. I thought the character dynamics were good, the pacing was great, and just everything ranges from nice to amazing. What happens in the book is a kid named Otto malenpens is chosen to be a part of a elite group of kids and be
