Book Reviews of Snakehead (Alex Rider Adventure)
Book Review: Insane Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Snakehead goes deeper in this book than any other previous book in it's series. Previously, Alex has had to battle the usual cast list of crazed billionaires. However, the trade in human body parts that lies at the heart of the story is real, and extends to children. One of my favorite lines that was so powerful was "You're going to have a lot of surgery, Alex. There are some bad days ahead. But you'll come through... I know you will. We'll help you to the finishing line," Aussie doctor Tanner told him. As a piece of dramatic writing on this subject, I found it far more impressive than any of the other books in the series.Book Review: Skip this one
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is definitely not for the younger reader. While Horowitz is masterful at creating suspense and ingenious solutions, too many of the situations in this book are realistic and can't be relegated to an impossible fantasy. In particular, I am thinking of no-holds-barred fights to the death, and illegal immigrants crammed into freight containers. Top it all off with betrayal by the trusted father figure--Yuck. Violence aside, this book is just much creepier and distasteful than the rest of the series. While I would not censor this from my son, I'm strongly encouraging him to put it aside and move on to something else if and when it makes him too uncomfortable.
Book Review: Wish the next one would come out already...
Summary: 5 Stars
Not to rush Horowitz or anything, but with a series like this, who can wait to get their hands on the next one? I mean, I want anyone else to find a book more exciting than this about a fourteen-year-old spy. Impossible, right? "Snakehead" is all about trust and betrayal and - of course - action. Though I can't say this is the best of the Alex Rider series, it still lived up to my expectations. Can't wait for "Crocodile Tears" to come out into stores!Book Review: snackland

Summary: 4 Stars
This book is about a kid who is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He has a background of family spies. He is also a spy. He works for the CIA and the mI6. These are secret agencies. Alex was born and never saw his mom or dad. Alex was told that they died in a car crash but was that what really happened. Alex was entered into MI6 but not by choice. His first mission was to get into a place called stormbreaker.he was disguised as a kid who had won a completion to try out the new computers, stormbreakers. Mi6 thought something suspicious was going on there so they sent him to check it out.
My opinion of the Alex rider series is that it is fun and exciting. I think that if you like reading about adventures and suspense you should read this series. This series also has a mixture of funny moments and near deaths. It is very fun to compare Alex's journey from the begining of the series to the end. The characters change and everyone grows more mature. I think anthonony Horowitz uses a good variety of genre and detail. He also uses so much suspense that it makes you want to keep reading.
I think the message of the book is to never give up because like Alex always says if you give up you're as good as dead. I think this is a good message because say you're doing a test and you give up, you will get them wrong. I think another message is to be strong even through the hard times. I think that this is important because you may not be having a good day but you need to go on.
