Roze-don't worry. I didn't either till someone told me and I found the 1st book in Waterstones. I still need to get the other 2 books. I'd recommend giving them a look-they're really good books.
|
Pretty good, Mirani ^^
I'm really tired now... and I still have to catch up with Alex on Oblivion. I'll talk to you guys later, see ya! :heart: |
I think I've heard of this series before. I'll see if maybe I can find audiobook versions of the books.
C'ya later Roze! :hug: |
No worries-chat to you later then Roze.
And MG-I have no idea. I'd have to look around, but I don't think these were released in audiobook format. I think these were originally published a good few years ago! |
Damn...oh well. Audiobooks are the best! I love listening to them! I have the whole Alex Rider series on Audio except for Snakehead (which I really should get since i haven't read it yet)
|
Fair enough. Audiobooks are Alright, but I prefer actually reading the books. I currently own all of the Alex Rider books, and I think there's only a couple more left until the series is finished!
|
What's your favourite book outta the series? I think mine is Skeleton Key but I havne't read snakehead yet so I can't really say anything about that.
|
...I can't really pick my favourite book out of the series. I like 'em all. But, if I had to choose...I'd probably say Eagle Strike. It's pretty good.
If you're only getting the Audiobooks, keep an eye out for Crocodile Tears on Audiobook. That's the next book after Snakebite. |
Thanks! I'll be sure to do that. What do you think of Alan Blunt and Mrs Jones? Personally I prefer Mrs Jones to Blunt, not to mention the head of the CIA Bourne I think his name is spelt...
|
I just double checked-It's Byrne, but you were close.
And same here, Blunt just seems to...exist. At Least Mrs Jones shows some kind of personality! |
Very true! And blunt in the first book I can remember when Alex was going from Crawly's office to Rider's office via the flag pole. Mrs Jones was just like.
"You're going to sit there and watch as he kills himself?" And blunt was like. "I'm going to sit here and hope he survives" |
He reminds a bit of Aizen...I HATE AIZEN!!! That is more than a little cold hearted, if you ask me!
|
Very true...and being like Aizen is MORE than enough of a reason to dislike Blunt! What about Byrne? What'cha think of him? We don't see him as much as Blunt but still...I don't like the guy.
|
Byrne...actually seems alright. He can get away with being a bit...meh. He's old! There are worse people in the series than him, but there are also better people!
|
True, he's sort of in the middle I guess and he's no where NEAR as bad as Blunt!!!!!!!! Although the CIA agents in Skeleton Key REALLY got on my nerves! Tom Turner and Belinda Troy...they were so stuck up and obnoxious towards Alex but the agent in Arcangel, Tamara Knight, was MUCH better!
|
Yeah she was cool But bare in mind-Tamara was...closer to Alex's age-even if she was about 10 years older!
Tom and Belinda were older experienced agents and didn't believe the hype about Alex and didn't want to work with a kid, so I can kinda see why they were gits to him. But yeah, they were obnoxious gits. I almost we could have read how they were killed...oh well! |
Very true.
And I can see how they would've felt uncomfortable with Alex but that didn't mean they had to be such asses about it. |
I know. But still, they got there comeuppance in the end, didn't they?
(Sighs) I love weekends! |
Very true, they did indeed.
Oh yeah! The weekends are the best! Especially for those of us that're still in school...-grumbles- |
(Sniggers) Well, if it makes you feel better, I'm back at uni in 2 weeks, lectures in 3 and I can probably GUARANTEE that my days of lectures will be worse than your school days!
|
Probably -smirks- I feel better now. Until I start uni...I'm thinking about applying to either Dundee uni or Edinburgh maybe...both have good psychology courses or I might take the Japanese course in Edinburgh, that way I get to go to Japan for a whole year!!!!!!
|
Hey, whatever floats your boat. Though that Japanese course does sound interesting-I wish you luck with that if you do it!
|
Yeah. I think I'll need it.
|
I'd need it to-I can't even write any japanese kanji, never mind read the little buggers! I'd probably fail after a single class!
|
I know two Kanji. I know the kanji for black and I know the kanji for light. I can also write 'Kurosaki' -grins-
I've started to learn the Hiragana alphabet and I can always remember the 'ku' symbol cuz it looks like an arrow! Ohter symbols are harder to remember but I'll get there! |
