![]() ![]() This is just one example of the narrator's description when describing technology that made it sound like Alex Rider has the body of a teenager but the mind of a 50 year old adult. ![]() Now I am not an expert as to what London teenagers call their "WiFi" but even if they did call it a wireless network, Alex spent enough time in America to have picked up that lingo and used that. During the section where the narrator talks about the wireless network, the term that should've been used, in my opinion, is WiFi as that was in fact where the network connection was referring to and not a cellular network or anything else. Otherwise a connection is not being made between the narrator and the reader and therefore the reader's attention falters. The narrator, even though they are separate from any character of the book, should mimic the knowledge or lingo of either the main character in the book, or the reader. I mainly struggled with the narrator's description of various commonly used technology the biggest offense being his reference to connecting to a local WiFi network as connecting to a local "wireless network." I'm not saying this is wrong but I am saying that Alex most certainly would not have called it as such. The author also did an excellent job stitching together the enemies' persona in such a way that makes some of the far stretched ideas seem plausible. It was nice to see the Alex Rider series renewed and overall the story brought to life many of the elements I've enjoyed from the previous series.
