Alex Rider

[mk1]

Who of you have read the "Alex Rider"-Series("STORMBREAKER", "GEMINI PROJECT", "SKELETON KEY", "EAGLE STRIKE", "SCORPIA", "SNAKEHEAD", there are two books, more, I don´t know the titles)?
I really like it! [smiley2] er...my favourite Chapter is "bloody red strawberrys" in Skeleton Key.

There already is an Alex Rider thread, but as it hasn't been posted in for four months....

The sixth book's called "Ark Angel." And I'm pretty sure the second book is "Point Blank," not "Gemini Project." Unless that's an alternate name for it?

Anyway, this series was great up until Scorpia. Ark Angel was all right, but I was really disappointed by Snakehead. I kind of hoped Anthony Horowitz would have ended the series with Scorpia. :P

I know how you feel. I mean, I didn't really want it to, but you can never really tell if each book is the last.
Unfortunately, I think Horowitz had too much of his writing style in the Power Of Five series in Snakehead. I didn't think it was that good at all...
I also didn't like the film.. An epic failure, I think.

The film is really horrible. I think there are many alternate names, because of the translations. For example, the first version in german of "Skeleton Key" was something like "The Island of horrobility" and the second version was "Skeleton Key"

Film is shit.

The film was terrible. I thought it'd be amazing because Anthony Horowitz worked on the script, but... :\ Alex Pettyfer was definitely handsome enough to play Alex Rider, but apart from that... nothing really of note. Yassen was horribly disappointing. :P

BUT this thread is about the books, so let's talk about the books. :)
