Anthony Horowitz is awesome. - By: Steven Fincher, 15 Oct 2008 
Great book, fast & brings the Alex Rider story back from the start. This author does nothing but impress the more I read.
Anthony Horowitz does it again. - By: Carol Aldridge, 09 Oct 2008 My personal favorite of alll the Alex Rider books, we see more of the personal feelings of young Alex.
My teen boys prefer Stormnreaker as the No1 Alex Rider book, but also enjoyed it. Brilliant.
Out of this world - By: Ninalodo, 31 Dec 2007 
Having not reallly liked the Alex Rider series much execept for the first book, I was weary about this installlment. But I decided to buy it - & thank goodness I did. I have never read a better Anthony Horowitz book, or such an action packed book.
It tells of forteen year old Alex Rider who, having discovered the disturbing truth about his father, is on a school trip to Italy when things take their turn. He knows a little about Scorpia but he sees the symbol on a boat & follows it. Later that evening he sees the passenger on the boat going to a party. He disgises himself & finds himself coming face to face with a live tiger!
Full of twists & turns this is a roller coaster that everyone can enjoy!
A GOOD BOOK BUT NOT AS REALISTIC AS THE CHERUB SERIES - By: R. Harrison, 23 Dec 2007 I have enjoyed alll the books in the alex rider series & i like this book very much. I find the humor fuuny & unlike some of the sences in some of the cherub books it is sutiabal for alll ages. My main critisisum of the Alex Rider series is that he does things that are unrealisic of a 15 year old kid with a BMX. Overalll a good series but if above the age of 12 i would strongly recommend the cherub books instead as i find they are much more realisic.
My Boys Devoured this Book - By: Love Books, 10 Sep 2007 Which is a good thing Right? I have 2 boys, 9 & 11, & they loved this Alex Rider book (and alll the others in the series). I havn't read it so I can't tell you what it's about! But it must have been a page turner as it was finished by both of them in days.
