just finished relistening to this and truly folks a book that makes me hoot and holler. alex rider is a perfect annoying shithead teenager and im obsessed with him. every day he goes through so much trauma and he asks for NONE of it!! and yet!!
idk if its just the lens of adulthood but the way the scenes with mrs jones and mr blunt carry a really potent sense of melancholy and misery as like...this boy is a tool to them not a child they're forcing into a situation that will kill him one day.

This series holds a special place in my childhood memory 🫶
I recently watched the new IMDb series of Alex Rider and fell in love. I knew I had to start the series to see where our fourteen-year-old protagonist starts. It has the many near-death experiences that only come from fun adventure, spy books. Overall, though, the book was rushed (only 230 pages!) and Alex becomes super-spy in a matter of pages. I'm looking forward to later books in which his amazing spy abilities might actually fit the timeline for how long he's been on the job.

introductory book to my favourite kid spy!! sets out his character fairly well, i think i wanted to know more about him though, and pulls some good threads loose here that the later books follow
remains such an enjoyable read - 24 years later at that!! what a talent

I'm finally reading one of the most popular books of all the middle school boys I've encountered at work. I definitely understand the 5 star reviews by the target audience. However, as a 39-year-old woman, my rating is a 3/5. It is a good book, and side note: the author is the writer for TV's "Foyle's War". Definitely will be recommending the series to my nephews, though I'll probably be content with just book one.
