Aunque el final sea apoteósico, el principio se me hizo bastante cuesta arriba. Demasiadas casualidades y conveniencias en la trama para pasarlas por alto. Si hasta aparece el "mejor amigo" de Alex al que casualmente nunca había mencionado, y Jack se menciona quizás dos veces, está para ganar el premio a peor cuidadora del mundo. No sé como el colegio no ha llamado a servicios sociales.
Aunque Scorpia es interesante, y por fin tenemos una villana principal, la historia no coge fuelle hasta que Alex vuelve a Inglaterra a mitad del libro. Y para unos libros en los que la historia es poco plausible como mínimo, no deberíamos tener que pasar demasiado tiempo pensando en la trama, si no toda la acción trepidante se desinfla en relación con el hilo argumental ridículo.
Este libro también se centra un montón en el padre de Alex, al punto de ignorar a la madre por completo, solo sabemos que era enfermera. En comparación con la información sobre John Rider, lo siento falso, Alex se centró en su padre y le importó un pimiento quien había sido su madre.
Flojo, solo lo salva la última mitad y ese cliffhanger que me ha dejado con unas ganas inmensas de coger el siguiente.

3.0/5.0



I loved this book!!! I felt really sorry for Alex during the last chapter, though.
I think my favourites so far are this one and Point Blanc. The end confused me a little but I realized that he wouldnt die if there are 4 books to come in the series.
I recommend this book for everyone :)))
This is by far the most emotional Alex Rider book from 1-5.

Shit's getting real, I am really enjoying re-reading this series!

My favourite Alex Rider book in terms of plot. We find out a lot about him and his family, we also realise that Scorpia is going to be reoccurring in the next books as it has a personal value to him. Loved it
adventurous mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

very intriguing plot line
adventurous dark medium-paced

In the 5th book of the Alex Rider series, Anthony Horowitz does a great job introducing and showing how dangerous Scorpia (Sabotage, Corruption, Intelligence, Assassination) is, and continuing to show this throughout the book with a desired consistency. He also gets the reader engrossed with the book, the espionage world, and Alex Rider. There is action, suspense, adventure danger, and is realistic.

I really good book that I enjoyed. There were many twists and turns.
