Anthony Horowitz’s eighth book in the best- selling Alex Rider series is a winner. The book is very fast paced and will make you never want to stop reading.
It all started when Alex’s friend’s family invites him to a New Year’s Eve party in Scotland. The supposed-to-be-fun party ends up making Alex bring his entire spy training to good use.
Alex wants nothing more than a normal teenaged life and not a top-secret spy life. When a journalist comes to Alex’s house and offers to leak that Alex is a spy and make Alex and the journalist rich, Alex goes to MI6 ( a British spy agency) for help because he does not want his story to be leaked.
Alex finds out that MI6 wants him to investigate a genetic engineering facility. When he goes to the facility he is caught red handed and his only chance of escape is dodging bullets and going through a room filled with poison.
One event leads to another in this thriller. Anthony Horowitz keeps the reader on the edge with twists and turns that you would never expect.
If you like this book you would like IQ by Roland Smith both Crocodile Tears and IQ share a spy atmosphere with the unexpected thrown at you to make the books even better.
I'm not familiar with the Alex Rider series - but I'll try to remember it for Benjamin - that is, when he starts reading.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you might want to consider setting up an account with Amazon or Powell's books - just for the fun of it. When you recommend a book, you can provide a link and then get commissions. I wouldn't count on the money to pay your own "book" bills, but it would be fun to even get one or two commissions.
i have not read a book since "the Hardy Boys". do kids still read the hardy boys?
