    Really silly. As if a teenager would work for MI5. Melodramatic and the protagonist is uptight and selfish and thoroughly dislikeable. I would recommend War & Peace instead. Avoid sappy teenage drama!

    I’m sorry to say this, but thus far, this is the worst book (with the exception of Storm Breaker) in the series. It is very predictable, and is also slow at times. Alex is still a good character, but everything else is nothing special. If you have read any of the other books in this series, you will know exactly what will happen.

    Are you in need for an action-packed Adventure? This series is just right for you, written by the world famous 2003 Red House childre books award winner ANTHONY HOROWITZ.This is probely the best adventure book you could get. Nomatter girl or boy, I’ve seen hundreds of people. If you like spy stories, this is also a book for you. After you finish the book, you will feel like your best friend is no longer here. Alex Rider. You will automatically become a Anthony Horowitz fan like me.

    This book include a truly spectacular escape from a burning tower and a high-speed chase on water[although alex doesn't have a boat]

    Anthony Horowitz introduces eco-terrorism in “Ark Angel,” sixth book in the series featuring 14-year-old Alex Rider, spy for M16 of England. Say again? Spy? Fourteen?

    To be sure, Alex is not a willing spy. No sir! At the end of Scorpia (Alex Rider Adventure), Alex is shot by an assassin’s bullet and left for dead. No discerning reader for the first second thought Alex dead–there are two more books in the series–but what an ending!! Now Alex is madder than heck and not about to take any more! He never wanted to be a spy and certainly vows vociferously never again!

    Until. In the hospital where Alex is recovering, there is another teen in the room next to Alex. This teen is son of a billionaire, who is being targeted by eco-terrorists. You see, Nikolai Drevin is building Ark Angel, a hotel in space for the super rich. What better way to punish Drevin than by kidnapping his son and making him pay! Alex thwarts the plan and defeats three experienced killers–believe it or not.

    Plausibility is Horowitz’s secret ingredient in the success of the Alex Rider series. He makes the most outrageous escapades and actions believable!

    In addition to wild action, Horowitz again introduces a nefarious villain, who is seemingly a crusader for good. What makes Alex so effective as a spy is simple. For various reasons, Alex can get into the inner sanctoriums of these villains, then use his special talents. Just as some people are talented in art, sports, science, writing, Alex is a great responder in emergency situations. His brain goes into overdrive.

    In “Ark Angel” Horowitz outdoes himself in the final episode. I won’t write a spoiler here, but I will say that Horowitz makes the reader feel exactly what Alex experiences. It is quite unbelievably plausible.

    I love this series! It will end with the seventh book–Snakehead (Alex Rider Adventure).
