LitPick Review
Snakehead is about Alex Rider, a fourteen year old spy, being sent undercover into a Chinese gang, Snakehead. His mission is to discover how Snakehead is illegally transporting Afghanistan refugees into Australia. Being forced to accept this assignment, Alex is not given any weapons or support, but he is determined to survive. Of course, he gets caught in a couple of tight places and is forced to think on his feet. In true Alex Rider style, he manages to come out of dangerous situations spectacularly.
Opinion:
Snakehead is a ten out of ten all the way. This book is the seventh book in the Alex Rider Series, and just like the others, this one was a thriller. Snakehead is a fast paced adventure. Having read all the previous Alex Rider books, I would rank Snakehead as my second favorite. (second only to (Scorpia) The author, Anthony Horowitz, usually ends each book with a cliffhanger. The previous book, Ark Angel , left Alex in a capsule falling from space into the Pacific Ocean, only to be captured by the Australian Secret Service in Snakehead . I'm an avid fan of the Alex Rider series and I'm already checking to see when the next book will be released.
