Book Review - Crocodile Tears

The book "Crocodile Tears" is the 8th book of Alex Rider Series by the famous British author for teenagers Anthony Horowitz. Anthony is world's best author for teenage books. His famous books like Alex Rider Series and The Power Of Five are one of the best books in the world. He lives in Manchester , U.K.

Alex Rider Series is about a 14 year old kid named Alex Rider who is drawn from his school by a special agency of U.K named MI6. His parents were killed in one accident when he was only 2 years old. He was taken care by his uncle. When his uncle died in some accident, he was taken care by a 16 year old American girl named Jack Starbright. His father and his uncle both used to work for the same agency. MI6 took away Alex from his school and gave a fake medical report about him getting measles. MI6 never gave any salary or something to Alex for saving the world.

In the first mission he had to stop stormbreakers from coming into the market which were computers containing viruses, in the second mission he had to save teens belonging to the rich families from a evil school point blanc, in the third mission he had to save the entire Russia from nuclear explosion, in the fourth mission he had to stop killing of 1/10 of the world's populations just to stop production of drugs in the world, in the fifth mission he had to fight against Scorpia a corruption agency, in the sixth mission he had to stop some people from destroying the space odyssey, in the seventh mission he was sent to Thailand to stop some robbers from looting the countries and finally in the eighth mission he had to save the world from GM's technology which can increase the poison of any thing.

Anthony Horowitz is damn clever. In his book "Crocodile Tears" he tried to add some more suspense by adding a journalist who will blackmail Alex to give his information about all the superhero stuff. But afterwards when he goes to MI6 for help, they give him one more work to finish and Alex makes a deal with them that if he finishes the task they will take care of the journalist.

The thing which I like in books of Anthony Horowitz is that - every page is full of suspense and all the characters are small James bond. He is the one who can make a kid get the habit of reading books.
