Alex Rider, teen spy, has always been told he is the spitting image of the father he never knew. But when Alex learns that his father may have been an assassin for the most lethal and powerful terrorist organization in the world, Scorpia, his world shatters. Now Scorpia wants Alex on their side, and Alex no longer has the strength to fight them. That is, until he learns of Scorpia's latest plot: an operation known only as "Invisible Sword" that will result in the death of thousands of people. Can Alex prevent the slaughter, or will Scorpia prove once and for all that the terror will not be stopped?

These stories just don't seem as interesting at 26
Now this may seem obvious - but at 27, these stories just don't seem to have a lot of depth to them. This is obviously because they're written for children/teenagers and not adults. However, there are books (the Harry Potter etc.) That can be read and enjoyed by all ages.
The particular Alex Rider book has got some great plot points and some very interesting ideas. Also (without spoilers) the ending is an absolute cliffhanger that makes you want to carry on with the next book. Alex himself doesn't really have much of a personality and neither do many of the other characters despite cliché children's characters. But what more could I expect?
