A review by margot95
Russian Roulette by Anthony Horowitz

3.0

The Alex Rider series gets consistently more grim the older you get. I was 10 or so when I started reading these, and back then 14 year old Alex seeemed almost like an adult. Not so much, now.

For what it's worth, Russian Roulette, the story of the series' primary antagonist Yassen Gregorovich, is entertaining enough. It moves quickly and Horowitz wisely doesn't expect readers to remember what happened in the other books. More importantly, it got me through a reading slump, so I'm giving it 3 stars just for that.
