A bit predictable but the kids enjoyed it (even though they figured out the plot halfway through).

I picked up this book because my son wanted to read it. He actually wanted to read the graphic novel version however, so I decided to read the original version because I had gone to the trouble of finding it, putting it on hold at the library, picking it up from the library, etc. So much work. ;-)
Anyway, I understand why my son is fascinated by Alex Rider. A 14-year-old spy who goes after creepy villains while also trying to maintain his cool teenage self? What's not to like? The writing is good, and my son also liked the movie.

Still far-fetched. Storyline and plot has a few twist and turns but is also very straight forward.
