Very good book for young people who like excitement, would definitely recommend. I bought this book for my 13 year old because it is very age appropriate and is very good reading for that age group - thank you!
Best book in the series...by far. The plot is intriguing and the twists are fabulous. Alex Rider faces his toughest challenges yet within the pages of Scorpia.
Great book.
Great for pre-teen boy! My son loves this series and doesn't want to stop reading! He can't wait for the next one.
Great book, such a good read for an 14 year
Why give this book a perfect rating when it seems so cliche'? Simply - this book gets my 10 year old son to read non-stop! Not only that, he wants to talk about it and explain in incredible detail every aspect of the book - the kind of deep interest I want him to feel for other books and subjects someday. Every great reader and scholar starts as a child and this book brings to the modern-day young person the thrill and excitement that was met by other authors in the past, like Dickens and Twain. (The truth about cliches is that they aren't that way when a person is discovering them for the first time.) Anthony Horowitz is the Ian Fleming (James Bond series) of the young person today and every parent should applaud him for that!
Very clean, looks very good, thankyou
