Teen boy wish fulfillment does it again! This time in the snow!
Young Adult adventure. Second in the series. Fast. Fun. Unbelievable. And every once in a while I need that sort of superhero kind of blast of "it-will-all-turn-out-in-the-end" frivolity. Unfortunately, this one ends with a cliffhanger. Now, seems I'll have to read #3.
A very good reread. Pretty sure I’ve memorised this book at this point, having read the book, graphic novel, and watched the show several times.
But it still kept me engaged, so kudos.

My Rating Scale
* terrible
**mostly flawed but some good parts,
***satisfying book for the genre
****exceptional book but some flaws,
***** I LOVED it
Pretty high death count for a kids book but I enjoyed it more than the first one. This seems like a series that could go too dark quickly so I feel like I have to preview each one for my 12 year old.

One of a great series, more appropriate for middle-school aged teens. Fast-paced and can keep you reading for long periods of time...A book you can get lost in.

i read this in custody lol
oh my god it was so bad i forgot. i last read alex rider when i was 13.
the writer is clearly disgusing his personal masturbatory hero fantasy in his little 14 year old boy protagonist. he endangers the lives of drug dealers, recklessly, he sneaks past armed guards, he saves helpless and weak women from trains running over them. i tjink this author needs mao zedong style reeducation for his views on women lol. he said a 15 year old character was "well-shaped. More like the woman she was to become than the girl she was" ew!!! bad. not a good book. sorry 13 y/o me, theres better YA
also: a dealer comes home to his lab all happy becuase he sold £100 worth of drugs to schoolkids. how are u chemist, supplier and dealer and making 100 a day. you fucking suck at dealing

I found this book not as good as the first one. Very action packed! And guess what? Alex dies and then comes back to life again! Also Alex seems to be too good at everything, snowboarding, skiing!
