The journalist has the cheek to pop up at his house, while he’s having dinner, and offer to do an expose, and cut him a 50-50 deal from whatever he makes. Apparently, Mr. Journalist did his research and has put together details of at least 4 cases that Alex is involved in, and whichever way you put it, what he plans to do would permanently destroy Alex’s chances of being a normal teenage boy. First off, it’s clear this journalist is bat nuts crazy. You do not go barging into people’s houses and threaten to reveal all their dirty little secrets, especially if said people have been known to land other people in the hospital. Same rule applies if you know they have connections to an intelligence agency. I've read all the other books and his other series Power of Five and it's all awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on this book." I really enjoy the Alex Rider series and this book, in my opinion, was great! Well done Anthony! If you liked Alex Rider, you may want to read the Jimmy Coates series by Joe Craig." This book was amazing! I stayed up all night reading it, and I was thrilled when I saw it came out the day before my birthday. I would recommend this to ANYONE!" However, throughout the Alex Rider series, I didn't really like the ideas that at some point in the story, the villain will eventually reveal their plans. I would like it to be a surprise, diving into Alex's mind to figure out what he thinks and ultimately the whole plan. This is pretty much the one point that i did not like about the book and the series.

My only complains are after a while the villains are pretty cookie cutter and again the plot fluctuates between believable and fantasy. (They're spy adventure books for teenage boys, so I mostly let it slide.) I’m going to skip the boring bits… Like him unwittingly helping the bad guys spray some shroom soup onto a wheat field that will biologically trigger the wheat to produce ricin; and where the bad guy (as all bad guys are wont to do) blabs about his past; how his charity, First Aid, was created to steal money from the general public, responding to disasters he engineered; and about his latest scheme. When i think there really couldn't be any more you could throw at Alex and continue this series Anthony finds another way to extend this story even more. I was waiting for ages for the book to come out and when it did it was absolutely phenomenal. I would definitely recommend it." If it was written for older readers it would also have to deal with the effect on a fourteen year old boy of the traumatic events to which he is subjected. I gathered that he had been shot in the past, at Liverpool Street station, and although there is a token effort at showing he still has some reaction when he has to go there again, he doesn't appear to suffer any qualms from killing a number of men in this book, even though it is in self defence.I haven't read it all yet but it is AMAZING, so far! I really want to read more so I think I might just go and read it now." Wow! I had no idea there is another Alex Rider book. I'm a big fan. I've got all the books (I'm currently reading Scorpia). My favourite is Storm Breaker. It's inspired me so much, I'm going to be a writer." Tajuk Crocodile Tears atau Air Mata Buaya ni SH rasa sangat kena dan bertepatan dengan isi ceritanya.

Forced to leave the country, MI6 sends him on a mission to Cuba with two doubtful CIA agents, of whom he is the sole survivor. He encounters former Soviet general Alexei Sarov, who tries to adopt Alex and expresses ideas of a nuclear holocaust and world domination under communist rule. Alex then foils his plans saving the world for a third time.

The author use informal diction here mostly because of the reputation of the series and to help readers connect easier with the character Alex who is 14, which is about the young adults age.

Alex has come up with some clever ways on how he gets out of situations and i'm always surprised when he does because so many of these situations are impossible to get out of but Alex always does. McCain is the second character who attempts to kill Alex despite the boy telling the truth. The first such character who did this was Conrad.I'm not a spy, but Anthony Horowitz made me feel like I was in Africa fighting along side Alex as he struggled to save the world yet again. Alex Rider is a forteen-year-old spy who works for M16, even though he never chose to be a spy. He was first introduced to the British intelligence agency when his uncle was murdered on a mission, and Alex was recruited to go and finish the job. Since then, he's been on six missions for M16.

As just previously mentioned, ricin which is a genetically modified food and a very powerful poison that could kill a person very easily. It is the exact poison that a man from Mississippi tried to sent to President Obama and a Congressman from Capital Hill recently. I’m really enjoying these Alex Rider books. Even though they are marketed as YA (and I am a little bit older than that, perhaps even considered OA), they are a delight to read. I’m plowing through them at a rate of one a month this year so, since it is August, this must be the eighth book in the series. This book is really good and it is one of my favourite Anthony Horowitz books. I can't wait until his next book comes out. I am crazy about his books."

I love Alex Rider books! They are amazing! I can't wait to read Crocodile Tears. I bet it is going to be fantastic like all the other books." Alex himself is a good character. I don't say that often about teenage boy characters - they are almost always as annoying as real-life adolescent males. But I liked Alex from the start and still do. I felt terrible that Alex was once more wrenched from his life. And while I was never in alarm for his life, I felt sorry every time he was injured.

Skip, skip, Indian spy passes out from his fever, that he got after his wound got infected, a wound that he got from parachuting in the night, and landing somewhere sharp and pointy. So, originally, Indian spy wants to bomb bad guy’s plane, but since he’s passed out and all, Alex figures he won't mind if he steals his bomb and uses it to destroy a dam to drown all the wheat crops. Indian spy rather conveniently wakes up in time to steal a plane and rescue Alex before he falls into the newly made waterfall and dies.

There is indeed only one Alex Rider and only one Anthony Horowitz. In this book Alex takes on another vile and cruel villain. This one was trying to create disaster in Africa with the help of genetically modified crops. He would then use the money people send in to his charity to become rich. Alex being Alex stops him before any innocent lives are lost.Although I haven't read it, I know it will be great. I can't believe how Anthony Horowitz thinks of all those cool gadgets disguised as everyday objects." This series is a lot of fun. Lots of cool spy stuff and some over the top action. (In one of the books Alex goes into outer space. Jumping the shark? Maybe. Did I still read it. You bet.) I personally think that this Alex Rider is one of the best I've read because there's lots going on."
