Literary Review

After his last book I felt like he went downhill. Arc Angel was amazing, snakehead was great, this was OK. Something I totally recognized in this book as his care taker gives him gifts he gets a "Barack Obama baseball cap" which I found odd, but brushed it off, as it went deeper into the book part of the bad guys name was "Mccain". Coincidence? + I didn't feel as if this book was as good as the others, I felt it had a bang, but not a very good one. I was able to read it in about 3 hours, and in the end I felt this book didn't go as far as the other ones did. This was a review from http://www.amazon.com/review/R1NJMG4C143Y12/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1NJMG4C143Y12.

This book is filled with action and suspense. It has many turning points which will leave you on the edge of your seat. This is a must read for teens and adults that enjoy James Bond type action. Except in this case the main character is a fourteen year old secret agent named Alex Rider. This is a must buy! This review was directly taken from http://www.amazon.com/Crocodile-Tears-Alex-Rider-No/product-reviews/0399250565/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1.

Now I agree with both of these reviews, as the series continues the action related with each book declines. This book from the series is really good, it is just that many of the previous books have the same content. There might be a situation that is impossible for Alex Rider to escape from yet he always prevails. It is just the same old, same old.

The reason amazon.com is a good source is because the review comes from the customer. So therefore, it is expected to be honest.
