Alex Rider strikes again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This was a most interesting, well-told and well-drawn story. It's only the second of the series I've seen (the other being STORMBREAKER, the original). Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised by the essentially unrealistic premise or the classic monologuing (sp.?) of the mad villain, but I was pleasantly surprised by the other twists and turns of the plot (which are, no pun intended, chilling in various ways). Alex nearly buys the farm more than once (one of the times being when he finds himself overmatched as a martial artist by the chief villainess), but it's good to have good friends around at such times. "Most schoolboys dream of being a spy. Alex is a spy who dreams of being a schoolboy." Well said, Mr. Stuffy MI6 Director. :) And we find out by the end just how true that is - Alex comes to a turning point in his mind about his destiny, however long that state of mind lasts.
Fantastic!

This was the first of the three Alex Rider graphic novels that my 11-year old read, and although it is not the first in the series it was a great one to begin with. Alex Rider goes undercover at a Swiss Boarding School and discovers that the school has an evil purpose. The setting is great, and having Alex interact with a group of wealthy kids was a lot of fun! The illustrations are really well-done and my son, and many others, find them an improvement on the original novels. Highly recommended for tween boys and teens!

Sure bet for any kids interested in graphic novels. I purchased this for a child who wants to become a graphic novelist and he loves it.
Great Book

My son is a reluctant reader, but he loves graphics novels and all of the alex rider series. He would read one of the Alex Rider books and then I would buy the graphic novel after he finished. My only wish is that all the books in the series had graphic novels.

I love this book. I am 10 years old and I thought this book was so cool with the gadgets,non-stop action, and suspense. You will never want to put this book down. I thought this book wasn't too violent and the plot is very easy to understand. I read all the Alex Rider books exept a few of them. This is the first book in the series(i think) and it doesnt matter where u start in the series becuase this book is so awesome!
