The seventh book in the Alex Rider series does not disappoint readers - this mission is one of Alex's most dangerous but he is up for it! Some feel that the storyline of a teen boy tackling terrorists is not realistic - it isn't but who cares? The purpose of this novel is to provide a suspensful, action packed story with Alex who is adored by many....the author does just that. If true realism is what you are after, go read Macleans. ( )

A good read, but the concept of Alex Rider is a bit unreal. Intelligence services wouldn't employ a son just because a father was an agent. ( )

I think the book Snakehead was a very good book. It was acion packed and very interesting. At sometimes it can become hard to follow. It will never make you bored from page 1. It is a sequal so it might be hard to understand unless you read the 6 books before that. ( )
