did anybody else read the Alex Rider books in elementary school? like does anyone remember that shit? i just looked up the plot summary for the first book and the main antagonist is putting a “computer virus” in thousands of laptops that end up being a literal virus. like they go to the laptop factory and he is filling the laptops with juice that gives you a deadly virus.
I liked reading series out of order in school so I started with like, book 6, which ends with him getting shot in the chest, so i never read any more cause like I know how it ends that’s so anti-climactic i don’t wanna get invested.
Then like 5 years later I learned there were already 2 more sequels by the time I had read Scorpia and the next one just starts with the narrator going like “lol the bullet missed his heart” confirming that I missed out on literally nothing.
Oh and the main plot of book 6 was that every child in Europe got a vaccine that contained a radio-activated mega cancer.
i thought it was in the school lunches
I liked it bc I imagined alex rider was really hot and i had a crush on him. Also there was a scene where an evil criminal boss was like don’t worry I’ll pay you the full amount… IN CHANGE! And then he killed this dude by suffocated him in a room that filled up with like $100,000 in pennies
