More fun than I expected
I picked up this series because a teen friend recommended me this. I never thought I will be hooked up. Great story, good emotions and shows all how? cruel the politics and spy business are!
Not as good as book 2 but still incredibly consistent
People love the Alex Rider books because they give you James Bond but written in a very relatable way. I'm 26 and he's 14, so it may not be THAT relatable. But it's definitely more relatable than some 40-something highly-trained spy.
The stories are constantly tense and this one doesn't deny us that feeling. I always feel like the villains are a little weak, but I guess the age this book is written for aren't worried about a convincing villain with an understandable motive. 4/5 would be about eight from me.
