 As good as Jason Steed, better than James Bond. July 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Another great Alex Rider advneture.Its as good as Fledgling Jason Steed, better than the young James Bond books.
Anthony has now really got into the charater nad is producing some great story lines. I would expectto see some more films made from his books. This would be a box office hit.
Fanatsic.
Action packed and exciting May 27, 2008
This book is full of narrow escapes and fast attacks. It shows Alex Rider in the lifestyle of the rich after being a guest to Nikolei Drevin the Russian billionaire. The whole story is filled with plot twists and clues of the ending. Unpredictable, a great book.
 A GOOD BOOK BUT NOT THAT GOOD December 23, 2007

I have enjoyed all the books in the alex rider series and i like this book very much. I find the humor fuuny and unlike some of the sences in some of the cherub books it is sutiabal for all ages. My main critisisum of the Alex Rider series is that he does things that are unrealisic of a 16 year old kid with a BMX. Overall a good series but if above the age of 12 i would strongly recommend the cherub books instead as i find they are much more realisic.
Fantastic, one of the best books ive ever read!!! July 11, 2007
I thought this book was really entertaining, it made u want 2 read on, and I read it on holiday and couldn't put it down until I had finished it!! I enjoy all of Anthony Horowitz's books, and I am really looking forward 2 the release of his new book somewhere around october.
I would recommend this book if u enjoy spy, action or adventure books or if u enjoy the james bond books.
 Running out of steam? June 13, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
There is a level of political and economic sophistication in the book that impressed me, particularly in the motivation for Nikolei Drevin's crazy plot of destruction. I enjoyed the sideswipe that Horowitz is clearly taking at Russian oligarchs via the character (and the football game with Chelsea was a nice touch that advanced the plot). I did think that an opportunity was missed with Paul Drevin though - a lonely boy of Alex's age who can't meet his father's expectations and who really seemed to want Alex as a friend - I think he could have been used to draw a little more emotion out of Alex and made him more vulnerable, but equally, given the ending of the book I hope to see Paul Drevin again (although hopefully not as an enemy).
There is one large contrivance that sets up the end of the book, wherein Alex has to go up to the Ark Angel space station. I think that it would be obvious to any teenage boy reader that the situation is a set up and what the set up is, but Horowitz persists in going through the motions in a way that's actually tedious. A far better way of doing it would have been to acknowledge what's waiting for Alex up in space and give him the decision as to whether or not to go. But that's just me.
I do wonder if the series is perhaps running out of steam. As Horowitz acknowledges through the character, Alex is not going to be 14 forever and I do wonder if there's anything left for him to do - particularly given the amount of attention he's received during the series, which means he's no longer a secret spy any more. Horowitz has said that the series will stop when Rider reaches 15 and he'll get a happy ending. I hope there's enough steam left in the series for that.
