Anything that gets a 14 year old boy completely engrossed in a book is fine by me!

Series review. I enjoyed this series when it started. It's a good, action packed set of stories aimed firmly at the bond market. The stories are exciting, well written and with a good central character in alex. I did find myself drifting away from Horowitz after awhile but the books I read were generally good. Horowitz is a good writer and storyteller and the alex rider books were great. My one quibble is the time period they take place in. The books I read were set in a single year which seemed a bit hard to swallow. Apart from that this is an entertaining series.
