Does anybody else read this series? If you havenm't yet well then they're REAL good. Wannabe James Bonds will be hooked after the first few chapters.

Nice disguses for his gadgets

They shouldn't have kept pumping out the sequels...and then he ended it in a particulaly poor way...otherwise they are good books.

Yeah....it's more of a trilogy. Stormbreaker - Point Blanc - Skeleton Key. Where does Eagle Strike and Scorpia go?

I agree. The first three were really good and then by the fourth the ideas in the books weren't as good. I personally thought Scorpia dragged on a bit and was predictable but maybe thats just me. I still think the first one was the best because it was fresh.

I've read the first two and enjoyed them, although they're not really my kind of book.

Yeah, I agree. I haven't reaad Point Blanc yet *cough* crush *cough*, but the Skeleton Key book (after the tennis place) was hooking. The Chinese triad gang wasn't a big part, alothough it talked about them on the blurb.

I've read all of them but the fourth (I think. o_O Haven't read them for months!), but they're fantastic books. Even my Mom liked the first two. My favorite would have to be Point Blanc. ;) That was fantastic. When I first picked it up, I really didn't expect to enjoy it. But it would have to be one of my favorite books.

I'm gonna read Point Blanc today. I promised my crush I'd be at the libary at 1. She's swapping with me for Skeleton Key.

Ixs the 4th Eagle Strike or Scorpia? It doesn't say in order...

I read the first three and loved them.

I think I might as well, depending on everyone's opinions.

Aww, have fun swapping books with your girlfriend! I wish I had a boyfriend with the same reading tastes as me. I don't even think my boyfriends like reading. >.<

*cough* I only have a crush on her. But she doesn't seem to 'reply' back to me. I remember her exact words: "Yes! And I spent half an hour waiting for you!"

I think because of that, she doesn't trust me. But today I made it back. was playing soccer and said to Mitch (captain): "I gotta promise to keep," and ust ran of, got my proper school t-shirt on (we have to have a change of clothes to play on the field) and ran to the libary. I was a little early, because the libary bell hadn't gone yet. But then it went. Nahyeon came in about 2 minutes later, and we swapped. I think she regained my trust.

Let's not turn this into a crush thread. Yes, in Eagle Strike Alex Rider has 90 minutes to save the world. Scorpia is an organisation for assasinating people for people. Alex becomes an assasin

I've only read Stormbreaker, and it was very good. Sadly, my school library doesn't have the rest in the series, and I am banned from buying anymore books...

Nope. If you've read Scorpia you'll know why.
