Snakehead - Anthony Horowitz

The 7th and possible last in the Alex rider series has to be one of the best books i have ever read by a truly superb author. If you don't know the general storyline of the series i don't want to give much away other than that the main character Alex Rider joins MI6 as a teenage spy and is sent on a series of missions. The latest book Snakehead brings Alex up agianst his most dealy enemy yet the Snakehead gang and once agian Scorpia. Alex has to travel to many countries and ends up on 2 missions one from the Austrailian Gov and one for the British Gov. The book has many twists and turns and great action. Anthony Horowitz makes you feel like you are in the book through ...  Read the complete review

"Snakehead" is the seventh, and as of yet latest, Alex Rider book by Anthony Horowitz. Having read the first six, I had high expectations of this book, and it delivered with a better quality than I could have ever expected. Once again, just when you think Alex Rider is relaxing back into a normal teenage life, he is thrown into a new world and ends up working for ASIS in Australia. Here, he meets up with Ash, his father's friend, and they go out on a mission together into the criminal underworld of South-East Asia. This book is the best in my opinion for the number of twists in the plotline, the biggest of all coming close to the end. ...  Read the complete review

Title: Snakehead Author: Anthony Horrowitz's Warning: May contain spoilers No sooner has Alex Rider splashed down off the coast of Australia than he is whisked off on another adventure. The ACIS (Australian Central Intelligence Service) are using him to infiltrate the ruthless Snakehead, but along the way he bumps into MI6 and more concerningly S.C.O.R.P.I.A. When Alex discovers S.C.O.R.P.I.A.'s intentions it becomes a race against time, nature and the Korean government. Billions of lives are at stake and only Alex can save them. My favourite character has to be Major Winston Yu, who worked for MI6 during the Cold ...  Read the complete review

I bought this for my little Brother's birthday a couple of years ago. He was engrossed in it and didn't come out of his bedroom until he'd finished reading it! I've recently persuaded him to let me read it and I can tell you, I'm impressed! Blimey! This is a hell of a book and the number of pages seems to reflect the amount of time the author has spent writing it, 2 years if the back cover is to be believed. Anthony Horowitz is probably one of the best writers of the 21st century so far, and the Alex Rider series is his flagship. It clearly reflects his excellent writing style. However, Horowitz seems to have moved on a bit from ...  Read the complete review

Snakehead: Snakehead is the seventh book in the Alex Rider Series. It is concentrated around Alex finding more about his family when he does find out it turn's into an awkward moment where the phrase let sleeping dogs lie comes in the surface. But even with the complications it continues to Scare, Smile, Laugh. When it first came out i was talking to a friend who said He didn't want to read it just incase Horowitz had fallen down. Let me tell you that he hasn't in the slightest. In fact i would go to say it is at the top or around it definatly. The actions scene's are as good as television with the wit to make you think. Who ever said Harry Potter is the Best Book's ...  Read the complete review
