I've been making a couple of comments throughout my re-reading of this series, calling out problematic aspects of the previous books, but for the most parts I've been thinking that there are moments in the series that just haven't aged well, not that anything has been . But this one just crossed a lot of lines for me. Snakehead is the seventh book in the Alex Rider series written by Anthony Horowitz. It stars Alexander "Alex" Rider, who is a teenaged MI6 agent.broun, lisa (16 December 2020). "Anthony Horowitz: Alex Rider". Cheltenham Festivals . Retrieved 11 December 2020. [ permanent dead link] There were also other parts of the book that seemed racist to me. The way Alex views places like Bangkok and Jakarta is not very flattering, obviously those cities are very different from what he's used to so I'm not saying he had to think they were great cities, but he sounds absolutely revolted. Anthony Horowitz also describes a Chinese character as a "chinaman" at one point, a term I thought we had kinda left behind at this point.

There was almost never a time when there was a dull moment, it was always interesting. I give it five out of five stars. Petski, Denise (10 November 2020).

A couple of complaints more: This book ends with Alex needing to defuse a bomb AGAIN, as if that wasn't the climax of the last book too. Not very original. There is also a new audiobook narrator for the series, and I can't say I approve, I miss the sassiness the last one had.

This book was amazing in my opinion. Anthony Horowitz does a great job of keeping this book series going strong, as well as keeping each book interesting while using many of the same elements in each book. Snakehead follows Alex Rider has he tries to take down a human smuggling ring... disguised as an Afghan refugee child. Complete with painting his entire body and fake rotting teeth. So pretty early on you realize you're in for an uncomfortable reading experience. Definitely the worst book in the series so far. This should have stayed in the drafts. Mostly because of how uncomfortably racist it is. Scorpia Rising - released 21 March 2011 in Australia, 22 March 2011 in the US and 31 March 2011 in the UK. In 7th grade, my friends were reading series of Alex Rider, so I felt that it was going to be an interesting series. This is the 7th book of the series and it is called Snakehead .

My thoughts about the Alex Rider series changed with every book I read. The first book, Stormbreaker, gave me shivers and totaly amazed me. The second book, Point Blanc, was interesting and I felt weird while I read it, although the end was very good. The third book, Skeleton Key, didn't have much action, but the end was a very cool part. The fourth book, Eagle Strike, was a favorite in the Alex Rider series, and I enjoyed how things played out through the end. The fifth book, Scorpia, was had lots of mystery in it and Alex did some things that were very stupid and I didn't like most of the beginning. But, in the end, it turned out to be a cool book. The sixth book, Arch Angel was alright, not one of the best ones. It was really cheesey and not one of the better ones. Petski, Denise (10 November 2020).

As of Russian Roulette, this novel contains, by far, the highest number of secondary and tertiary antagonists compared to any other book.Snakehead is the seventh novel in the Alex Rider series written by British author Anthony Horowitz. The book was released in Australia on 28 September 2007, in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2007, and in the US on 13 November 2007. The title comes from the name given to Asian gangs involved in people smuggling illegal passports, visas, weapons, and more. Snakehead takes place directly after the events of Ark Angel, with Alex finding himself in Australian waters where he landed at the end of that story. Alex wakes up and meets Yu over dinner, who after giving his life story, reveals his plan to cause a tsunami to destroy Reef Island and stop the conference, along with the west coast of Australia. Alex is then sent to a hospital in the Australian rainforest where he is to be used as an unwilling donor for illegal organ transplants, to pay for his damage to SCORPIA both in the 'Invisible Sword' project and on the Liberian Star. He uses the watch Smithers gave him to send a signal to MI6, which seemed not to work. The eighth book is entitled 'Yassen' and revolves around the life of this esteemed assassin. Theories are that he's still alive-in my opinion that's the only twist that could make it worth reading, otherwise it would just be a history of his life-yawn.
