Scorpia. Just another great installment in Anthony Horowitz's "Alex Rider" series. This man sure knows how to write a book. I read this book while on a cruise this summer. I could NOT put this book down. He kept me on edge by revealing secrets about Alex's parents. Things that shock Alex and shocked me too. It's a time that should be reserved for hurting and healing for Alex but instead he's risking his life again, this time to save millions of British children. I can't reveal the ending but I will say that you will be VERY surprised. I love this book and can't wait to read the next one.

 A really awesome book. This is truly nothing like I have ever read and the plot is so twisting and captivating that you might not lose interest in this book anytime. Alex has his own ways for coming back and everytime it is something completely else. He would be the next JAMES BOND!!

This is by far my favourite of the series. Alex Rider goes over to the dark side...such a cool concept.



Heck, I'd give it six stars purely on entertainment value.
