Readers will be interested from the moment they pick up this page turner until they set it down. Readers who have read even one book in Alex Rider series are those who I encourage the most to read this. I also give caution to those who have not read any in the series because those who do could get lost easy.If I had to rate this book, I would give it a four out of five, five being the greatest. Anthony Horowitz has made one of the most thrilling and action packed adventures in the Alex Rider series. This book is one of the greatest of the Alex Rider series. Alex will uncover many dark secrets about his past as well as yet again save the world, or will he. In this great book Alex is back with MI6 to stop the organization that killed his father, Scorpia. This spy novel has greatly developed characters, action, adventure, and suspense.
Oh, throw in wildly imaginative ways for Alex to be killed and how he escapes them all. What a team. Anthony Horowitz. The plot elements are so wild, so imaginative, so incredible that none of this should work, but it does. Can he.Suffice it to say, he will escape an underwater cellar in Venice, BASE-jump onto the roof of a pharmaceutical building and miraculously escape being blown to bits, well, you get the idea. Nope, none of this is spoilers because each novel follows the formula, so-to-speak.
What a great read. I'm a grown-up. I'm supposed to read "grown-up" literature (which I do), but I cannot resist this Alex Rider series. How will Alex be part of this.
SCORPIA has created an "invisible sword," which it plans to use to kill thousands of 12-13 year old British schoolboys unless the United States meets certain demands, which of course they won't. Yeah, yeah, he's been working for M16, Britain's intelligence organization, but now he's turning to the other side. Incredible escapes. "Ark Angel" is next.
Oh my, Horowitz cannot be serious.Alex Rider. Each new novel in the series is a new challenge: Can Horowitz pull it off again. But there's the ending. The fifth book in the series, "SCORPIA," is the best--meaning most twisted thrill ride of them all (and that's saying a lot).It's weird that this "young adult" series follows a formula of sorts: bad guys/gals of some kind threatening some part of the world in some way with Alex Rider, a 14-year-old kid who brings them all down and thwarts their evil plans.
Fantastic goings-on in this book. It is an acronym for "sabotage, corruption, intelligence, assassination." One of the eleven directors is Julia Rothman, a beautiful but deadly woman who recruits Alex into the organization. It's how writer/creator Anthony Horowitz manages to get Alex out of his incredible situations AND make them believable, so-to-speak. "SCORPIA" is simply the most amazing in the series.What is SCORPIA.
I am a big fan of this series and an even bigger fan to quality online shopping.
Mrs. Rothman. Alex goes to venice with his friend Tom.
When he tries to kill Mrs. Read the book to find out the end. Jones he is captured by MI6 and then discovered the plan of Mrs.
this is by far the best book in the series. Later, he joins scorpia. Trust me you will want to.
then sneas into the Ca' Vedova, the house of Julia Rothman. Rothmans servant then tries to drown him and he escapes.
Who is the one looking out for him.The ending is sort of a cliffhanger because something very crucial happens. It's not fair because it makes the reader instantly want to become a Secret Agent but as if that's ever going to happen. And you will find your destiny.' Whilst trying to find out who he is, he stumbles on Scorpia's plan to destroy the world but this time he doesn't know whether to join the baddies or the goodies. I think you can compare it the James Bond series because its every teenager's spy fantasy.
I read it all in one sitting because I became so engrossed in it, from the very first word I was totally absorbed into Alex Rider's dangerous world. I am so sad. It is meant for older readers, perhaps 13 and above, because it is slightly violent but even then its still great fun. Horowitz has taken MI6 to a whole new level. Scorpia by Anthony Horowitz is a brilliant book. I was anticipating a really good book because the last four have been awesome but this book blew me away. I don't want to give any of the story away because it would spoil the entire book but all I can really say is Alex finds out about his family and there is a HUGE surprise at the ending. Find Scorpia.
He was told `Go to Venice. BUT unless Horowitz decides to write another book then it could be seen as a GREAT BIG SHOCKER. It is longer than the other books but I read it all in one go. Alex Rider is all teenage girls ultimate dream, he is cute, brave and a spy for MI6.Unfortunately he doesn't lead a normal life because he is always in danger. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will cry if Horowitz doesn't continue the series.
It is a masterpiece. In fact he doesn't know which side is which.Alex doesn't know whether to trust Scorpia or MI6. He discovered in the last book that the answer was in Venice. It's pure-class and is action packed. In this book Alex finds himself questioning who his father was and what he was like.
