Reviews

[Nora · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was very interesting, it had mainly three different parts. So it really confused me because I think I got them mixed up all the time. So that means I must have misunderstood. Bu the first part is called, Storm breaker. It is about a boy and his uncle died in an accident. it was mainly because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. Well that is at least what some people said. But when Alex, the boy finds out that his uncle's windshield riddled with bullet holes. He knew that it was not just an accident. He knew that something was wrong and that this was somehow planned, because he knew that what happened just couldn't be right. But what he did not know is that his uncle was killed while he was at a top secret mission. Read the book to find out what happens next and what the other two topics or parts are about. Overall this book was okay, but if you like to read book that really leave you hanging and wanting to read more, this is the perfect book for you.

my review is that my favorite is the second book how he had to sve the world from Dr.Grief and the gemini project and from whre all the boys there were pretty expensive. and there was only sixteen clones of Alex Rider and they only caught fifteen so there was one on the loose

GREAT BOOK

[Jordan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an ongoing series about a boy who is thrust into the world of betrayal, sacrifice and deception. I started reading these books when I was younger and the character has grown over the years as have the books. It is always nice to have something that seems to be growing with me.

The writing and stuff is really really good, and it's captivating with a good storyline. I liked the whole series and it's not like that happens everyday.That's all I can say: It's great.

Nice easy reading books with good suspense, mystery and fairly deep characters. Nice sci-fi novel. :)

I really enjoy this series of books, although it is extremely far-fetched in times (i.e. 14 year saves earth, while in space), they are exciting to read. The first one I think is still my favorite.

i don't really remember anything important about skeleton key, but the rest of them are really really good! :) probably some of my favorite books ever!

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome! Actually, this is what they had for the book Skeleton Key, So I;m writing a review for that. Once again, the suspense and action make it hard to put down-can't wait for the next book!
