Book Reviews of Snakehead (Alex Rider Adventure)
Book Review: Insane Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Snakehead goes deeper in this book than any other previous book in it's series. Previously, Alex has had to battle the usual cast list of crazed billionaires. However, the trade in human body parts that lies at the heart of the story is real, and extends to children. One of my favorite lines that was so powerful was "You're going to have a lot of surgery, Alex. There are some bad days ahead. But you'll come through... I know you will. We'll help you to the finishing line," Aussie doctor Tanner told him. As a piece of dramatic writing on this subject, I found it far more impressive than any of the other books in the series.
Summary of Snakehead (Alex Rider Adventure)
What goes up must come down, and when we last saw Alex Rider, he was as up as can be-in outer space. When he crash lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across South East Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.From the slums of Bangkok to the Australian Outback to the middle of the Timor Sea, Snakehead is Alex Rider's most action-packed adventure yet.
