  I got this book for Christmas, but I kept it until I'd be able to read it in one go. I'm glad I did, for Snakehead is another rollercoaster that takes you on a whirlwind of adventure and doesn't release you from its spell until you've read the whole story cover to cover. All the things Alex goes through may seem far-fetched, especially when he always manages to escape in a spectacular manner and just in the nick of time. You could argue, too, that the bad guys are rather stereotyped. Always so full of themselves that they let him escape, again and again and again. Always megalomaniacs who've got a bone to pick with society. Always very successful businessmen - until they meet Alex who blows their cover. Ah well, you know it's a formula, but you've never cared less. This is entertainment of the purest water. This is an enjoyable read and will remain so if you read the book again. This book leaves you gasping for breath and clamouring for more. When's the next installment coming?
