So i few days ago i finished reading the last book in the Alex Rider series Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz and let me just say I really liked it. Having spent a couple of months (I think) on the series from scorpia to this book I really started to connect with some of the characters and it made me very upset when... well... never mind I won't ruin the book for everyone who hasn't reads it. But when this certain event occurred near the end of the book it was hard for me to actually believe and I had to read it over and over again to make sure i didn't miss anything.
In the book many unexpected things happened and they shocked me very much but what I was thinking about most was how bad all the people in this series behaved. I thought a lot about how this would effect me if I came across any person who would want my organs or actually start a war. I don't know what I would do. I would fight back but not as cleverly as the main character Alex Rider would. This series taught me to observe my surroundings and use anything that I could as something to defend myself, kind of like when Alex used a fire extinguisher to... well... again won't ruin it. (yep I'm doing this on purpose).
Anyway the villains in these books have similar goals and now that i have finished the series I can compare every one of them. In all of these books they all wanted to do something illegal for their own personal gain. Not necessarily for money, but for joy. Many of these villains wanted to do something either to Alex or some other person/thing because that other thing, person or Alex did something to the villain that made him upset or angry.
These villains in these books all have somewhat of a certain goal and I wish there was a little more variety in the books but overall, it was a very good series to read.
