• Sam Harper, age 12 - 'Alex is tested to the limit in his most thrilling adventure yet, packed full of action, excitement, old friends and allies. Alex is most definitely back and I promise you will not be disappointed.'
  
• Tomasz Hawryszczuk, age 12 - 'One of the best series of books ever written in my opinion. Once you start reading, you can't put it down. If you like fast paced adventure stories with edge of your seat writing - this is for you!'
• George Hutton from Dormston Secondary School - 'Teenagers with an interest of adventure and mystery/crime would definitely love this book. This book would also be of interest of people who enjoy undercover investigations of massive scale crimes.'
• Alexander Bisland, age 11 - 'This is my favourite book EVER and I wish it was made into a film. I hope Anthony Horowitz will write another book in this series. I give it 1,000 stars!'
• Rosie Watch - 'The story was action packed from the start, full of plots and fast moving action, though somehow despite all the action, it managed to remain descriptive, which I'm my mind is so important.'
• Alex Sergeant, aged 11 - 'I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a great continuation of the series we all know and love. It’s well written and fast-paced with many action-packed scenes.'
• Simon Longlands, age 13 - 'Great sequel to the last 10 Alex Rider books. You would probably want to read the first nine books to really understand it. (Number 10 is a stand alone prequel).'
• Toby Little, age 9 - 'I really think you should read this book... This book is brilliant... At one point, I thought I was watching a film in my head, that’s how clearly I could see things.'
• Alex, age 11 - 'A book of action and adventure, it didn't disappoint! I read it cover to cover without putting it down.'
• Jamie Bamford, age 13 - 'this book grabs hold of you tightly, reels you in and before you know it you’re stuck in the wonderful world that Anthony Horowitz has so brilliantly created.'
• Alice East, age 12 - 'Whenever I had a spare moment instead of doing other fun things I would read this book; it was that good.'
• Ross Dawson age 13 - 'Fans of the Alex Rider series will not be disappointed with this book, as it is every bit as thrilling as I’d hoped.'

Never Say Die Press Reviews

Never Say Die is one of the most dramatically ambitious of the novels so far... The suspense never slackens and the plot, even at its most far-fetched, is underpinned with nerdishly forensic detail, which has an irresistible how stuff works appeal. * The Daily Telegraph *

The Alex Rider stories are action adventures about defeating cartoon villains who are intent on global domination, but, although Alex is brave and athletic, what really makes him and the books special is his ingenuity... The series not only has explosions and chases: it shows that cleverness can win. * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *

Readers who like their adventure action packed will love the new Alex Rider novel, Never Say Die, by Anthony Horowitz. Our favourite teen spy whizzes around the world, from San Francisco to Egypt, at breakneck speed. * Irish Independent *

Anthony Horowitz is second to none when it comes to writing page-turners so his fans will be thrilled to read the new Alex Rider novel. * Daily Express *

This latest story is as exciting as its predecessors. An unputdownable read with breath-taking action and enough clever plot twists to make the reader dizzy. * Primary Times
