Review: Skeleton Key
Skeleton Key is a sequel to the action books "Stormbreaker" and "Point Blank". Now Alex (a 14 year old boy) is on another adventure. Here is why you should read it.
The action never stops in this book. Toward the beginning Alex was almost hit by a forklift. And toward the middle of the book, Alex is almost crushed to death is a sugar factory. In Skeleton Key there are more twists and turns than the other books in the series. In this one Alex teams up with two CIA agents. There is nothing like that in the others. Also, Skeleton Key is about 75-100 pages longer than "Stormbreaker" or "Point Blank". This makes more room for gunmen, killer sharks, special weapons, assassins, and more time to save the world from the Russian general Sarov and his assistant Conrad.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes "Stormbreaker" and "Point Blank". And to anyone who likes spy novels.

Summary: Skeleton key DAWG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: These are excellent books! It always keeps you wanting to know more. But that stands out from the rest of the series,Skeleton Key.The action in this book is very suspensful,like pee your pants suspense.Also the main character,Alex,never changes in personality so you dont have to get used to the same makn character all over again(Artemis Fowl!).Even though there is a lack of new characters it can be easily overlooked.

Summary: Horowitz' classic
Review: This is by far the best of the terrific Alex Rider series. It has everything a James Bond film has: original action sequences, humorous (but ingenious) gadgets, several exotic locations, and, most important, a great villain. This shines above the previous book, the disappointing Point Blank, as well as the even worse Eagle Strike and the above-average series starter Stormbreaker. It is one of the best books I have ever read.
For those unfamiliar to the series, Alex Rider is a 14-year-old London schoolboy who's been recruited twice by MI6 to save the world. After a brilliant opening chapter, Alex is once again snagged again by MI6 to check out Wimbledon, the All-England Tennis Club. His spy instincts get him into trouble, however, and he is sent off onto his true mission into the island of Skeleton Key, where a former general of the Soviet Union is staying.
The one thing that makes this book stands out above the other three currently out is the villain, one General Alexei Sarov. He is one of the most profound villains I've ever read about. His plot is ingenious, but the important thing is, he is not motivated by greed or fear, but by love. Love for his country, and love for his son.
But purely action fans won't be disappointed either. While the energy in this book is more potential than kinetic, it nonetheless is suspenseful and engaging. Horowitz even has several winks to the James Bond films, including the demise of Sarov's right-hand man.
Skeleton Key is what all the other Alex Rider books should be. Gerat action, great characters, and an emotionally satisfying ending to all of the above.

Summary: The best in the series
Review: This is probably the best suspense action book in the series. It is full of good stuff. Like spying, bombs and the C.I.A. The best part about it is that the main character is a 15 year old boy. He is hired by the British Intelligence Agency. He has to go to Skeleton Key to get back a bomb. This book will keep you guessing till the end. Overall a very good book.

Summary: It was really good, It had a deep meaning!!
Review: When I read the Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, I thought it was really cool with cool gadgets. I thought it was really cool being a spy, and what kinda adventures you have. Then, I read Point Blanc, I thought it was really exciting... Then, I had to wait a loooong time for Skeleton Key, cuz I couldn't buy it, So I had to put on hold in library. Then, I finally got it... I read the end.. :) I freaked out of the fact that Alex had a girlfriend, Then I actually read the book. I realized that Alex is hurt, without a family, and no one to actually spill out. I thought it was completely weird Alex didn't really talk about his friends, his best friends. Then, in this book I realized that he is lonely, and he deserves to have a girlfriend. I wouldn't be suprised if the author wouldn't write the next book. And then again, I wouldn't be suprised if he did write the book, because he put us in a place like that!! In all, I recommend you to read the book, it has alot of depth.

Review: Without reading this book you have not read one of the greatest mysteries ever! Who would have thought that a being a ballboy at Wimbleton could end up with you going on a holiday on which your guardians get killed, and you get kept captive by a mad Russian, General Alexei Sarov?Alex Rider has his life threatened many times and every time I held my breath sure that this was going to be it!This has been said many times, but I couldn't put this book down!
