Scorpia by Anthony Horowitz
4.0

Okay, so that was different from the previous Alex Rider books. Very different.

VERY, VERY different.

It was... deeper. A good number of characters were more rounded, felt more real than they ever have. I ACTUALLY GOT THE FEELS. I mean... OH MY GOSH, I ALMOST WANT TO SPOIL SOME THINGS BUT I CAN'T BUT I WON'T.

It was different, guys. The storyline, the motivations, the outcome. It was an Alex Rider book, all right - non-stop action and lots of twists and turns - but it broke out of the mold some of the previous books had been crafted in. It was GROUND-BREAKING. I mean, if Eagle Strike was a game-changer, then Scorpia is an EXTREME game-changer.

Some stuff involved in this book:

- BASE jumping
- a woman named Julia Rothman
- the prime minister
- running all over Venice
- Nile the black and white man
- a... uh... very savage school
- "Invisible Sword"
- a retainer

Quite frankly, I am shook. My heart is feeling things. O_O
