Book Reviews of Ark Angel (Alex Rider Adventure)
Book Review: Great series
Summary: 5 Stars
Last year my son bought the first 5 books in this series from the school book order. This last month, I finally read the whole series. He bought this book this summer. I love the spy and all that stuff, I am a fan of the Bourne movies, I tried reading the books, but there were too many swear words. So now these books. I love them, they are action packed have you at the edge of your seat and I can say that it doesn't bother me that my ten year old son keeps reading them over and over. It is fun to read the same things that your kids love and love it so much your self. I am addicted to this series. This book was great on it's own, you don't need the whole series for back ground. But reading them all is so much fun.Book Review: Alex is back!
Summary: 5 Stars
Readers who just picked this book up out of the blue, put it back down and start the beginning of the series. In "Ark Angel", Alex Rider is recovering from a bullet shot that nearly hit his heart. He encounters the son of... let's just say a rich father. Alex saves the boy's life, and he automatically receives an award for his deed - staying at the castle of the rich father. This millionaire has launched Ark Angel, the first ever hotel in space. But what if his intentions aren't all they turn out to be?
Our fourteen-year-old spy is back for another thrilling adventure.
Book Review: Great reading for boys (and their moms) who like adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son (age 10) found this book in the school library and couldn't put it down. I read it too. Of course it was a little (a lot?) farfetched, but we are hooked and are now reading the other books, in the proper order. Alex is a likeable character and one that most pre-teen/early teen boys can imagine being like. There's more violence than I would like but it's that kind of book, and it's something many boys this age seem to enjoy.
As a bonus, the Alex Rider books count for several points in the reading program at school.
Book Review: Dowhill at the next book
Summary: 5 Stars
Enjoy this book while you can. From here the Alex Rider series goes downhill, and fast. This is a very good book, I even think it was better than Scorpia although, Scorpia's ending was simply fantastic. At the next book "Snakehead" I felt he was starting to lose his touch with this series, it certaintly wasn't as good as this, or Scorpia or the earlier books. And to be honest, Crocodile Tears was simply HORRIBLE compared to the rest of the books. Happy reading, the series goes downhill from here.Book Review: keep on reading
Summary: 5 Stars
My son (12 years old) is on his fifth book of this series. We started them in January 2009 (and it is now the end of March) and he can't wait to read them all. The one he is on now has held his attention and he has almost read it all in three days.
The boy in the stories is 14 years old and my son relates to all the gagets he uses in the story. I highly recommend these books.
