Review: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 si... Read more
Review:I really did not enjoy this book. I kept thinking that this was a horrible ending to my favorite series that happened to be all about Alex Rider.... and in this book he appears in one part. I loved the first nine books and found this a huge disappointment. I would recommend reading this series but be prepared for a awful final book. Read more
Review:A most horrid story and writing too. This book is about a supposed MI6 teen spy and is the most dreadful thing I have ever read. The only upside was that it is so short it can be knocked out in about 2 hours.I have no idea how I even ended up with this book. It is so preposterous in it's story line, it is just absurd. I can't imagine who is rating tis thing highly. Good Lord, if this is all it takes to have a career writing, I need to switch gears now. Read more

Review:Join 14-year-old Alex Rider for another white-knuckle adventure that has him nearly drowned at the bottom of a Scottish loch, poisoned by super deadly gen-modified plants, consumed by flames in a warehouse fire, and eaten alive by African crocodiles. And that's just a start. Not to fear, the boy-spy escapes with his life, but barely and fans of the series will not be disappointed. The only thing that bothered me was the attempt to Americanize the original British text. US dollars are perplexingl... Read more
Review:SNAKEHEAD, the seventh book in Anthony Horowitz's New York Times bestselling Alex Rider series, marks the improbable return of Scorpia to the world stage. The international criminal organization, whose name stands for "sabotage, corruption, intelligence, and assassination," had been on a serious downward spiral thanks to Alex Rider, who made sure that their Invisible Sword operation went catastrophically wrong. However, Scorpia took revenge on their 14-year-old nemesis and was able to recover we... Read more
Review:Gr. 9 Student Review:
“Skeleton Key” is the third book in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. It is a spy novel that follows British teenager Alex going on yet another mission. It is obviously meant for a younger audience since the main character is a 14 year old boy. Surprisingly, for a young adult novel, there were some moments where I didn’t think Alex was going to make it out alive. Overall, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Unlike other kids’ films and novels where a happy ending is... Read more

Review:I don't usually write reviews for books purchased from amazon, but since the kindle version of Mrs. Dalloway had no reviews, which made me skeptical to read this edition (I have had some bad experiences in reading some of the kindle editions that haven't been rated), I thought I would give it the review it deserves. This is a great edition, which seems to be perfectly faitfhfull to the original work. I very much enjoyed reading this. Read more
Review:Harry just gets in deeper and deeper in Changes. The story bounces from one bad thing happening to another -- and another, and another, etc., etc, etc. It may have one or two extra twists over previous novels. It is an exhausting read. Still, the good guys pretty much win until the very end -- but no spoilers here. Read more
