"...if what you've told me is true-""It is." Alex felt a spurt of annoyance. Why should the American doubt, even for a moment, what he said? Was it perhaps because he was only fourteen? For a long time Ark Angel was my favourite of the Alex Rider books. Because, well, space. It'll be interesting to … Continue reading Ark Angel, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider reread #6)
Alex listened as the two men argued, neither really listening to what the other had to say. So this was how the government worked! It's been seven months since Alex first got drawn into MI-6, into espionage, assassinations, nuclear attacks and constant danger. That's a remarkably short amount of time for a fourteen year old … Continue reading Scorpia, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider reread #5)
“I have a couple of questions," he said."Do, please, go ahead.""My first one is for Yassen Gregorovich." He turned to the Russian. "Why are you working for this lunatic?" This is the one I've been dreading. I actually opened and closed this three times on the train because as soon as I read the intro … Continue reading Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider reread #4)

"You are mine! And I intend to make you suffer...""Just talking to you makes me suffer," Alex said. I remembered this one pretty vividly, but I had the time-line way out of scope in my head. By the time we got into the nuclear threat stuff, it was two-thirds of the way in and Alex … Continue reading Skeleton Key, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider reread #3)
"You've already said you're going to kill me," Alex said, "but I didn't think that meant you were going to bore me to death." Book two! I probably haven't read Point Blanc quite as many times as I've read Stormbreaker, but it's pretty close. We're definitely still in the 'I can probably describe most of … Continue reading Point Blanc, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider Reread #2)
"The boy's quite mad," the woman retorted. "Well maybe that's what we need.""You're just going to sit here and watch him kill himself?""I'm going to sit here and hope he survives." As soon as I started my blog I knew I had to do an Alex Rider series, so I've been planning out this post … Continue reading Stormbreaker, by Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider Reread #1)
I had to force myself not to throw in a Christmas Wrapping pun in the title, and I'm very proud of myself. This has been a surprisingly productive month, considering how busy work was and the fact that I was assassinated by the flu for a full week (and by Star Wars fanfiction). A good … Continue reading December Wrap Up and 2019 Stats!
