Many people have been urging me to get on and read the rest of the Alex Rider series for a long time now. I kinda wish I had listened to them sooner.
When I read Point Blanc, years ago now, I remember thinking that the writing was cold and Alex was an uninteresting main character. Now, I can see that this is simply a style of writing I was not accustomed to.
Skeleton Key did not disappoint. Please keep in mind though, that this book is aimed at a younger age group. The story is simplistic. The plot- easy to work out. However, that doesn't make this read any less enjoyable.
