Awesome Book

This book is great!!! I would really suggest reading the first book in the series first because it is the best one, but it's not nessesary to read it first to understand this one.

Yet again, Alex Rider is back.

Yet again, Alex Rider is back. A near fatal bullet wound won't stop him either, as Ark Angel has as much action as the previous books if not more.
The book begins with Alex in the hospital recovering from the Sniper's attack from last book. The hospital quickly becomes a battle zone when four armed men come in during the night to kidnap a kid. The kid is no normal kid either, as he is the son of Nicolei Drevin one of the richest men on the planet. Being Alex, he rushes in to save him. Before you know it the book starts an incredibly long road trip. This includes London, Washington D.C., a Caribbean island named Flamingo Bay, and finally to the book's most unbelievable final location.
The book sometimes teeters on the edge of believable and non-believable, however I feel Anthony Horowitz did a good very good job at making a mostly believable yet exciting adventure. It also feels like Anthony did a lot of research on this book even without the series' first acknowledgement section.
The book also does a good job at explaining why Alex is being locked up instead of just shooting him on one of the many times Alex gets caught. However, there a couple instances near the end that would have been so much easier for the bad guy to bring a gun other than going through all the trouble that they did.
If you like a book nearly bursting at its seams with action and danger, than this book is definitely for you. However if you're more laid back then you let this one fly by you.

Is it really for kids?

Alex is a fourteen year old boy who has to go through many difficult events. I, as an adult, enjoyed the book; however, I do not believe that it is appropriate reading for those under 15 years. Within the first paragraph it talks about a man being killed, the words Kill/Killing are used four times within the first chapter, not to mention a detailed description of a death scene. In chapter 4, poor Alex is being tortured and the torturers are threatening to cut off his finger. This seems a bit violent for younger readers. It is action filled with lots of violence and blood, definitely a fast and enjoyable read for those who like such books. BEWARE parents as this series is being advertised to 4th grade and lower children.

Alex

My 11 yo grandson introduced me to the Alex Rider series and I am so glad he did. He is in a program at school. He loves to read and this is something we have in common. I love this series and recommend it highly no matter what age you are. It's thrilling and holds your attention throughout the book. I looked forward to each new book in the series. This is a no brainer, for good reading, buy this book and dont forget the rest of the Alex Rider series they are all good stuff.

Shot outside the offices of MI6 and left for dead by Scorpia, Alex Rider awakens in a top-secret hospital, glad simply to be alive. But danger has a way of following Alex, and when the boy in the next room is the victim of a kidnapping attempt, it is Alex who saves him?only to be kidnapped himself. The man behind the kidnapping? None other than Nikolei Drevin, wealthiest developer in the world, and the man who single-handedly is funding the first luxury hotel in outer space, Ark Angel. Yet the project is hemorrhaging millions of dollars along the way, and Drevin will stop at nothing to cease the bleeding. Even if it means blowing up Ark Angel. Even if it means sacrificing his only son. . . .
