Alex propels himself on a personal crusade to chase that which seemed lost and Horowitz delivers action set-piece after set-piece with breathtaking abandon. As well as that, we have another brilliant villain or in this case villains in the shape of the Grimaldi brothers, twins operating pretty much as a single entity. They have a suitably notorious history and a suitably nefarious scheme that Alex finds himself having to stop. As I previously mentioned, this book does not add anything new to the series, which made me seriously question its existence. This was particularly frustrating to me since I know Horowtiz is capable of doing so, as he previously demonstrated with my favorite Alex rider installment - Scorpia. In this installment, we saw Alex act on his frustrations with MI6 and flirt with the dark side. That was a highlight for me because it was showing a different side of a character that felt natural and true to the progression of the over-arching plot. Never say die does none of that, it could easily be the second book in the series (instead of a staggering number 11).

[This] fresh caper . . . roars along to a (naturally) explosive climax."— Booklist In the 2006 Stormbreaker film directed by Geoffrey Sax, Alex Rider is played by Alex Pettyfer, a British actor.

It is revealed that Nightshade is on the other side of the world, and the Teachers are studying Alex. Although Leap of Faith had failed intolerably, they are going to go after him.Alex was originally to have had dark hair, but after Horowitz saw several surveys that said teenage girls preferred blonde boys, he created him as fair haired instead.

Sister Krysten: long white hair over shoulders, thin face, nose like a knife, glasses, dangling silver earrings (Mrs White Hair) Alex is described as a boy with 'the body of an athlete'. He also has fair blonde hair and 'serious dark eyes', and weighs 110 pounds. He is also said to attract many girls. In the book Crocodile Tears, Alex and Sabina are on holiday together once more, but in Scotland. Sabina's father, Edward Pleasure, is invited by the main antagonist of the book, Desmond McCain, who Edward was writing a report on, to a party on December the 31st to celebrate the New Year. All the profits of the party would go to McCain's charity, First Aid. When leaving for the party from the Pleasures' house Sabina was seen telling Alex to stop admiring himself in the mirror. They were all set to leave when Sabina's mother announced she wasn't feeling well and could not come. The party bored both Alex and Sabina and they left early, but as they were driving down the hill away from the castle where the party was set, their car's tire was shot out and they were sent plummeting into the loch below. But, of course, Alex manages to save her and her father's lives once more. The Pleasures decide to leave for America early, although they invite Alex over for spring. Before leaving, Sabina kisses Alex on the cheek, suggesting her feelings for him are still existent.

The villain's scheme was incredibly outlandish but all the better for it and the villains screamed out as something from a Bond film. I guess I notice these things more at 25. There is so much plot lines and new characters always thrown into these books and i'm always excited to see where Anthony will take Alex next because every single book there is always multiple countries it's like i've gone on these adventures myself. Also just when i think that there couldn't be anymore for Alex to do there is a new threat and a new place to visit and i hope one day that there will be one mission that will be the end of it for Alex. Alex's athletic talents greatly assist him during his missions many times: for example, in Point Blanc he snowboards down a mountain on an ironing board to escape Point Blanc Academy, in Skeleton Key he scuba dives into Skeleton Key, in Scorpia he base jumps into a factory, in Ark Angel he walks between two apartment buildings on a tightrope and in Snakehead, he kayaks down a river on a makeshift kayak. The last thing I'll say is that at book 5 it's great to read about how Alex gets himself out of incredibly difficult situations. But at book 11, my belief can no longer be suspended.
