It was interesting to find out about the backstory to Yassen's life and how he met Scorpia.

This is another exciting book about Alex, the boy who is a spy. In this book there is an order to kill him from Yassen Gregorivich so Alex has to force him to play a game of Russian Roulette with a single bullet which he survived. I would recommend this book.

I like how he wasn't born to hurt people but since his parents died and he was homeless and a group called scorpia paid him to assassinate people

This book is very good but it can get quite scary in places. I would recommend it to people age 9+

I think this book is smashing. You can understand what the other character feels like and why he does certain things. He saves Alex rider's life against his will and orders. It is a heartbteaking book...

It's interesting to see the difference between the killer and the victim. They are very similar and explains stormbreaker well.
