Very exciting and fast-paced. Good book for making predictions. I can see why most of the kids in my class have read this one.
Re-reading the Alex Rider series for the first time as an adult, as enjoyable as ever.
Still a cute spy series for young kids! Exciting and great for James Bond fans!
Non-stop action, but it left me a little overwhelmed and feeling like I never really met the characters.
Alex is told his uncle died in a car accident. However, Alex doesn't think the story adds up. Alex discovers his uncle was a secret agent and is recruited by MI6, to discover what happened.
However, I was intrigued enough to order the next in the series.

Alex is an immensely irritating character who is also completely unrelatable, because he as a person has no flaws. There are very few plot twists and it is very difficult to get past the stereotypical and cliche nature of this novel.
outdated and the "guy with facial scars is evil" trope is weak
I watched the first few episodes of the series before I realized this was based on a book, so I paused on the show to read this. Some of it is similar and I think someone who loved the books will really enjoy the series and vice versa. I think this is one of the more fun spy thrillers for middle school kids and may help get some reluctant readers into a series. I plan on reading the rest of the books.
