Another thrilling Rider adventure!

I could barely take my headphones off in this recording of Alex Rider's Snakehead spy novel. Looking forward to the next one!

<Insert Interesting Title Here>

Hate the big betrayal, but it really does make the story even better. So much really good backstory-building in this one. The reunion with Sabina at the end is cool too.

Interesting, minor mistake

So Ben is called, “Snake” but in some stories before, he is referred as, “Wolf” so, small mistake for the future. But overall not bad, added more too plot, and revealed more for future stories and theories.

Alex Rider does brownface in this one

I definitely did not think twice in middle school reading about Alex dipping himself into a bathtub and dying his skin brown so he could go undercover as an AFGHAN REFUGEE?? That was a pretty wild choice, Mr. Horowitz!

It was a really great book!

It was amazing, except the performance is a 4 because the end was not as intense as the other books in the series and Ash being what he was (no spoilers) was not dramatic enough, and the reader could not have seen it coming.

Another great entry but…

This is another great entry to the series but it’s really getting to the point where these intelligence agencies are just as evil as scorpia in the way the use and manipulate a child over and over again with no time to breathe in between. Like I want him to go postal and just kill Blunt and most of the intelligence heads.

A Great Series

I think I like both the story, the boy, the series, and the writer better than Harry Potter
I will listen to these time and time again as I do Ian Fleming and Clive Cussler
