It made me think about what would happen next and kept me interested the whole way through the book. I would definitely recommend this book.

I loved Yassen Gregorovich for his mentality. I was very interested by his backstory. I found it very emotional.

It was about a person trying to kill Alex Rider. For some reason that person was in eBay and clicked on the wrong thing and suddenly they said to kill him on screen. It is not that good because it got up to something random.

This book was about a person called Yasha and she was ordered to kill Alex Rider. But, she managed to not find him. At the end of the book, Alex Rider has disappeared. I like Alex Rider because he does amazing shots and I think he’s the best spy in the world. I would definitely recommend this to a friend or classmate.

The book was really good and I enjoy it. The book is about a young boy called Yasha Gregorovich. I like him best in the book. I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is interested in adventure and spy books.

This book is the best book out of the Alex Rider series because the intensity and the contrast between the two separate stories in the book. My favourite character would be Yassen Gregovich because he was the main role and did everything right. I would definitely recommend the first books before you read this book.

It was the last book of the series! One of the best book ever from.

This book is fantastic! I loved reading Yassen Gregorovitch's backstory, and it really makes you think again about Yassen Gregorovitch as a contract killer.This book is fictional and my favourite character was Hunter, or more better known as John Rider, Alex Rider's father.I would reccomend this book to children 10-11 years old, as it can contain mild violence and murder.

The reason this book is different is because it is the form of a dairy. It tells the story of a man named Yassen Gregorovich.
Count Flash Elephant 03.09.2020

this book was a interesting story about how Yassen Gregorovich became a contract Killer. At some points in the book you feel a bit sorry for Yassen because he ends up as a orphan
Doctor Race-car Legend 02.09.2020

This book is packed full of action and a real cliff-hanger. I really liked Yassen because despite people telling him he couldn’t do things, he was very determined and carried on. I would definitely recommend it.

I liked the main character Yassen, it was fun to have a different protagonist from Alex. Even though it was a prequel, it was still suspenseful.

I think it was one of Anthony's best books because it was thrilling and breath taking! I enjoyed the story and I couldn't put it down. It is one of my FAVOURITE books, watch out Bond!
