Among the charities to respond to the disaster is First Aid, a British charity known for its unfailing generosity and being there as soon as possible. Filled with tense moments and narrow escapes fans of the series will be greatly satisfied with this one.

If it was written for older readers it would also have to deal with the effect on a fourteen year old boy of the traumatic events to which he is subjected. But Alex Rider will face whatever it takes - gunfire, explosions, hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries - to bring down his most dangerous adversary yet. I'd rid myself of the Alex Rider series at last, and Anthony Horowitz had said that Snakehead would be his last, and it ended satisfactorily. It's a classic spy novel, but it is really well written with non-stop action and suspense, just as it should be.

It seemed like there was no character development or anything, really - but I guess it was an okay quick read, and there were some awesome stunt! Just as McCain is about to shoot him, Alex uses a leaking petrol drum and a gelignite pen to initiate an explosion that sets McCain on fire, burning him to death. They stop off at some African village-ey place for fuel, and as Indian spy is lecturing Alex, his brains get blown out by bad guy, who has also stopped for fuel. The very first page contained the action and sinisterness that is so trademark of Alex Rider, and it didn't stop. So, originally, Indian spy wants to bomb bad guy’s plane, but since he’s passed out and all, Alex figures he won't mind if he steals his bomb and uses it to destroy a dam to drown all the wheat crops.

Alex is flown, under the guise of a severely brain-damaged sixteen-year-old, to the disused Simba Camp in Kenya, which McCain owns. The fact that Alex involved himself in so much of the bad guy's overall plot was different, and it makes sense given that Alex is the kind of kid that he is. Targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media, Alex reluctantly turns to MI6. Alex comes back to school, flirts with Sabina for a bit, notices a few things which become important later on, get asked by MI6 to do something which ends up getting waaaay out of hand and saves the day alone, but ends up getting shot/injured/burned as a thank-you.

He's a reporter who has found out Alex has been working under cover as an M16 agent, and he wants to tell the world.

Tajuk Crocodile Tears atau Air Mata Buaya ni SH rasa sangat kena dan bertepatan dengan isi ceritanya. Once again Alex is faced with some rich maniac who has a plan to kill millions of innocent people and all that stands in the way of his plans is Alex Ryer !Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of McCain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. I wouldn't say that I was ever held in suspense (because the books are pretty predictable), but I was certainly interested. I appreciate that it would be much better for him to read the books but the good side is that I got him the earlier audios and the later books, not yet on audio.
