Clarke, Stewart (24 July 2018). "Alex Rider Series Heads to TV With Sony, Eleventh Hour". Variety . Retrieved 18 October 2018. It was so weird seeing Alex himself actually want to put himself in danger to find his friend and person who he's only cared for. Alex is such a determined character and the character growth has been huge even in a short amount of time. However with Alex's other missions this one seems the most personal one yet and he doesn't really think a lot of the time and mask rash decisions which could have almost got him killed. The first novel, Stormbreaker, was released in the United Kingdom in the year 2000 and was adapted into a film in 2006, starring Alex Pettyfer as the titular protagonist. The second and fourth books were adapted into a TV series in 2020 and 2021 respectively, this time starring Otto Farrant. Walker Books published the first novels in the United Kingdom alongside Puffin in the United States, but more recent entries in the series were published by Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Books.

The villain's scheme was incredibly outlandish but all the better for it and the villains screamed out as something from a Bond film. I guess I notice these things more at 25.

The last of scorpia's people are finally taken down however there is a new threat coming and i hope that they aren't as bad as scorpia but i have a feeling that Alex's journey isn't over just yet. Mrs Jones has hinted to Alex that he will pretty much have to be ready to be used by MI6 once again and put his life on the line for them. The last thing I'll say is that at book 5 it's great to read about how Alex gets himself out of incredibly difficult situations. But at book 11, my belief can no longer be suspended. In Alex's latest adventure, he evades death so many times I can't even count, and manages to keep me on the edge of my seat despite knowing that of COURSE he ends up okay. Because he's Alex Rider. And because Horowitz has already given us a teaser for the next installment coming in Summer 2018, which is going to be incredibly difficult to wait for! This installment really covers the entire realm of what makes spy novels so enticing ~ international travel, international intrigue, ships, helicopters, guns, bombs, car crashes, train crashes, poison.....and MORE.

As I previously mentioned, this book does not add anything new to the series, which made me seriously question its existence. This was particularly frustrating to me since I know Horowtiz is capable of doing so, as he previously demonstrated with my favorite Alex rider installment - Scorpia. In this installment, we saw Alex act on his frustrations with MI6 and flirt with the dark side. That was a highlight for me because it was showing a different side of a character that felt natural and true to the progression of the over-arching plot. Never say die does none of that, it could easily be the second book in the series (instead of a staggering number 11). Anthony Horowitzis one of the most prolific writers working in the UK, and is unique for working in so many areas – juggling books, TV series, films, plays and journalism. Anthony has written over 50 books, including the bestselling Alex Rider teen spy series, which is estimated to have sold 21 million copies worldwide and has been filmed for TV, and the thrilling fantasy-adventure series, The Power of Five. He was made a CBE for services to Literature. Sadly I think I have finally outgrown the Alex Rider series. What started out as a much beloved book series for me growing up has simply grown stale. From Egypt to France to Wales, from luxury yachts to abandoned coal mines, Alex traverses a minefield of dangers and cryptic clues as he fights to discover the truth.

Anthony Horowitz Press Reviews

The novel wasn't flawless though. I'm not sure if this was written more rushed, dumbed down to introduce new readers to the world of Alex Rider, or if I've become more perceptive over the years but some of the writing was unnecessarily repetitive and distracting, for example the constant mentions of "your uncle, Ian Rider", after the first or second time "Ian Rider" or "Ian" would've sufficed, we know who he is by now!
