![]() Here Alex Rider, a teen boy turned secret agent, searches for the truth of his past and parents, joining and dodging sinister forces bent on creating havoc on society. I would even caution younger teens, but it depends on the person. Scorpia: An Alex Rider Graphic Novel, by Anthony Horowitz and Antony Johnston, is an abridged illustrated version of the fifth novel in this series. There are some rather graphic descriptions of violence, gore, and pain in it that were disturbing even to me as an adult. And I was also very disappointed in the movie adaption of the first book, Stormbreaker.Īnother thing that I would like to mention is that this should not ever be classified as a children's book at all. I'm really hoping that some day soon someone will make a TV series out of these, because it's hard to capture every epic moment in a movie due to limited length. I was sort of expecting this one to be a bit more unique than it was (I was hoping to see every single executive member of Scorpia dead by Alex's hand or some other ironic twist of fate), but it was still very enjoyable and I found it quite difficult to pull myself away from it. ![]() ![]() Lots of interesting plot twists and foreshadowing that was just enough not to make it too predictable. Scorpia Rising is an amazing book chock full of action and suspense. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Crocodile Tears had not actually been the final installment. I'm now 22 and I never lost interest in it, not for a single moment. I began reading this series when I was just fifteen.
