Summary: Thrilling...Action-Packed
Review: ...
Skelteon Key is the third sequel in the Alex Rider Adventures. I reccomend reading the first two books in this series (Point Blank and Stormbreaker) before reading this book. This book was very thrilling, and had a ton of action. I would reccomend this book from everyone who likes action and adventure books from grades four to eight.

Summary: Anthony Horowitz does it again!
Review: Another great book in the Alex Rider series. This time he is after a nuclear bomb, while being held hostage. If you loved the other books you will love this one.

Summary: Cayo Esqueleto-Skeleton Key
Review: Anthony Horowitz has done another fantastic job with the third novel to the alex rider series. Skeleton Key (the sequel to stormbreaker and Point Blanc) is filled with action and suspence. "Puzzled, he looked up. And froze. He actually felt the air stop somwhere at the back of his throat... He wanted to scream. But underwater, it isn't possible to scream. He was looking at a great white shark."(pg 154) Along with meeting a great white alex is is nearly shot sevrel times, almost run through a grinder on a convayor belt, and diving of a burning ship. Alex saves the world again, this time from a russian, General Sarrov.I would recomend this book to anyone, because it was awesome! Some people said that it was not as good as the first two and I disagree. I thought it was better!

Summary: Crozet
Review: Anthony Horowitz wrote Skeleton Key, a book in which MI6 asks Alex Rider to find out who is trying to destroy the Wimbledon tennis championships. The Triad gang, a group of Chinese men tries to kill Alex. He is forced to hide on an island called Skeleton Key in the Bay of Pig's. General Sarov lives on this island. He is a crazy Russian General who plans to take over Eastern Europe with a nuclear bomb. Alex stops him using gadgets that MI6 operative Smithers gives him. Sarov's helper, Conrad, hates Alex and tries to kill him several times. The fourteen year old kills a great white shark, fights a triad gang member on a PWC, blows up a yacht, and escapes from a Russian General.
This book's genre is an action/adventure. This is the fourth book in the series. To really understand it you would have to read the other three. People that have already read some of the Alex Rider series would enjoy it and people that like this sort of genre would also like it. I finished this book the day I got it. It was really easy to read and fun.

Summary: Somewhat complex good plot and great action
Review: As usual, great action and suspense. Better plot that makes more sense. And it makes more sense for them using Alex Rider this time. The ending is somewhat unsatisfying, but I'll tell you this much. Alex might have found romance. Alex kind of seems like he's corrupted in the end, in a way...a mild mild way. And you also learn to hate Alan Blunt if you haven't already. What lesson does it contain? NEVER JOIN CIA OR ANY OTHER SECRET SERVICE! Lolzers. Jk jk. But this book is probably the best of them all!

Summary: Amazing once again!
Review: I orginally bought this book off of amazon.co.uk.com because its a british book and it came out sooner in england. I was sooooo amazed at how anthony horowitz once again, captures so much action in one book! I absolutlely LOVE this series because its so enjoyable to read and also because it never gets boring! I'm a girl and although this book would probably seem more apealing to guys, i would HIGHLY suggest this book and the rest of its series to any girl out there! If you want to read this book i would recomend reading the first two first (stormbreaker, point blank/blanc)

Summary: Skeleton Key
Review: I read the first two Alex Rider books and enjoyed them very much. However, in my opinion, the quality of these books has decreased as the series progresses. I have not read the fourth or fifth book, but after my disappointing experience with the third I'm not sure I will.The first book is, by far, in my opinion, the best in the series. It was creative, induvidual, and engaging. The second book was a good enough book, but it lacked some of the creativity of the first- for example, 'Dr. Grief' is not the most imaginative name. The third book was most disappointing. It was not particularly engaging, and the plot was typical of other adventure stories. I hope Mr. Horowitz does Alex Rider his alloted justice in the further books of the series.

Summary: Even Better Then The Others
Review: I read this book as soon as I could get it from the Library. It was awesome. Alex got into even more trouble then before. Skeleton Key was much better than the first 2. I first started the series when the 2nd one came in through book orders. More boys went for the book than girls. I was the only girl. That's surprising to me. I will read more of the Alex Rider books as they come out.

Summary: The best book in the Alex Rider series
Review: If you've read any of the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz, you'd probably say they were good right? Well this third installment of the teenage spies' adventures is, I think the best. It all begins after Alex's encounter with Dr. Grief of Point Blanc. He is suddenly sucked into what might just be his final adventure while he is on vacation. Having to flee England after inadvertently dissing a Chinese gang called the Triads, thus having him go to the USA in Miami. This is where he meets the CIA, who want to know what a russian general is up to. So they send Alex along with 2 other agents to Cayo Esqueleto, or Skeleton Key. But when things go bad, Alex must rescue his CIA fellows. Then a dangerous plot begins to open up. Alex must choose a decision that could mean either life or death. So hurry and pick this up before the world comes to an end!!! <-(hint hint hint)

Summary: Not as good as the first two!
Review: in this book, alex had a pretty exciting mission but horowitz did not make it exciting. all his adventures were dull. there wasn't any action at all. i suggest you read the first two-which were much better because alex was smarter. the reader will feel that in stormbreaker and point blanc there was more action and cool parts. also, in skeleton key, alex gets a girlfriend and she is an unimportant character who doesn't do anything but distracts alex.
