Review of 'Scorpia (Alex Rider Adventure)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A very exciting episode,either because this is where I stopped as a kid or because the stakes for Alex have jumped up tremendously and he's skating the thin end of the wire this time. Whatever the reason I enjoyed this a great deal and think apart from the opening novel it's by far my favourite, although I of course recognise that without a lot of background from the previous books that wouldn't really be the case.
