Book review (by Summer): Snakehead April 17, 2008

I wanted to let y’all know about this book I read a few days ago. The name of the book was Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz. It is the latest book in the Alex Rider series. If you have never read an Alex Rider book before I suggest that you start with the first book in the series. One of the things I liked about this book was that the author put a page in the front that catches the reader up on what happened in the last book. When we last left Alex he was falling to the earth in a capsule. Boy that line right there caught my attention. I wasn’t for sure if the author could pull off another great story. I was also afraid the story was going to get slow but I don’t think it did. It is a great story for younger and older boys both. As for the girls I think they would enjoy it just as much as the boys. After all, who doesn’t like to read about a teenager who is a British spy and kicks the bad guys butt. I found that the more pages I read the more I got into the story. I think you’ll find that you are right there with Alex no matter if he is in the jungle or in outerspace. (You will have to read the book to find out what I mean.) When I was finished the book I wanted to see what happens next with Alex. I hope that you read the book and enjoy it as much as I did.
