Scorpia Rising (Alex Rider)

I began reading this series when I was just fifteen. I'm now 22 and I never lost interest in it, not for a single moment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Crocodile Tears had not actually been the final installment.

Scorpia Rising is an amazing book chock full of action and suspense. Lots of interesting plot twists and foreshadowing that was just enough not to make it too predictable. I was sort of expecting this one to be a bit more unique than it was (I was hoping to see every single executive member of Scorpia dead by Alex's hand or some other ironic twist of fate), but it was still very enjoyable and I found it quite difficult to pull myself away from it.

I'm really hoping that some day soon someone will make a TV series out of these, because it's hard to capture every epic moment in a movie due to limited length. And I was also very disappointed in the movie adaption of the first book, Stormbreaker.

Another thing that I would like to mention is that this should not ever be classified as a children's book at all. There are some rather graphic descriptions of violence, gore, and pain in it that were disturbing even to me as an adult. I would even caution younger teens, but it depends on the person.

READ THIS BOOK. It is the perfect "last book" for a series that is this big. So gripping and action packed, I re-read parts like 4 times over because they were that good. I'm going to miss Alex Rider though!

I absolutely loved the Alex Rider Series. However I don't quite agree that Jack should be allowed to die in the end. Maybe she should get mildly hurt to make Alex anxious. But over all it was totally amazing.

The book incorporated so many previous characters you forget about for an explosive ending. took two days to finish. Amazing to keep such calm rising intensity .and to make Alex invincible until this book age and underestimation could not hide him any more great series can't believe it's over

great book, unexpected twists, awesome cliff hanger (no spoilers ;) ), best out of 1-5. these words are to fill the word requirement. lol. buy it. it is a really good book. Horowitz has outdone himself again.

Other than Stormbreaker, this may be the next best Alex Rider adventure yet. In some ways the plot is predictable as all Alex Rider stories are - except for the ending surprise in Scorpia. The action is fast paced and is perfect for a teenage boy reader. Girls who enjoy spy stories will like it too. It is hard to put the book down.

I love the Alex Rider novels!!!! This book was very good and had many plot twists that really got me into the story line!!!!! I don't think it was the best book out of the whole series but is up there.

I loved it allllll, the action, how the story line panned out, the only part I didn't like was how (SPOILER ALERT) Razim died, he melted like a snail in salt, by getting crushed by salt. Just gives me the creeps

This is an amazing book. I started the series around age eleven and am now eighteen and am very happy with this final book. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure style that Horowitz tries to maintain in all of his Alex Rider books and this one was up to par. I would definitely recommend it to anyone of any age, though teenagers are most likely to enjoy the series. Overall, a great purchase!

This book was awesome. I liked the nonstop action and the book kept me on the edge of my seat. The part that I liked the most was when Alex was finally swallowed to have a gun and killed Julius grief. The only part I didn't like was when Jack starbright got killed. But other theln that I loved the series. It was the best series I have read. This series was actually better than the hunger games.
Yea it was that awesome.
