I highly enjoyed reading Skeleton Key.My favourite part was when Alex made friends with a wolf and they both helped each other to achieve their projects. Alex got stranded on an island with only silly inventions he had made.But eventually he got off by using a flare to signal a cruise.I’d recommend this book to people who love to challenge themself.

I liked this book more than point blanc because it was more action packed, more interesting and more engaging. The title was very good because it didn’t give much away but was very attracting. Skeleton Key was actually a place where Alex had went on a “holiday”. He had done this for the CIA (the American intelligence service) so they could get past security because, with a child, no matter one would think that something was wrong with a child. In any the end. In the end, the two agents that Alex was sent with were killed and the mission fell into Alex’s hands. The main villain (Sarov) tried to adopt Alex after his son had died in a Russian war. He wanted this because Alex was like his son in many ways: he had served his country, their looks were quite similar and so was their personality.

My favourite character is Alex Rider because he's funny and brave. He's the teenager version of James Bond. There's lots of exciting action in this book.

Wow, what a interesting and amazing book! I personally favour Tom ( a CIA agent whose job is to find a nuclear bomb). I actually like action packed books like these Alex Rider books! Recommend 10-15

I think this book is not just a normal Alex Rider as this one as so many elements .My favourite scene (although there are loads) is probably the scene where he is scuba diving with the shark.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action packed adventures.
