This series seems to get better, maybe because we get to know the characters and they have real personalities. I like how the author writes, it's easy to read making the story fast. Jason and Scott are now 14, Scott mentions something when they are in hospital, a quick jibe, but if you are a boy the same age you know what he is talking about, lol.

The bad part of this series is the length of time between the next book, I want more and want it now. Anthony Horowitz and Mark A. Cooper are my favourite authors, I wish they wrote more.

In the first 6 books, we read about Jason's temper going to far, well this time it goes too far and I think this will come back to haunt him in future books, others will find out what he has done.

I continue to enjoy this series. The ending was a bit twisted, leaving me concerned for Jason’s mental health. I’m interested in reading how this final event affects Jason’s future growth.

Love this series, now Json is 14 he is so funny with some of the stuff he says. When he and Catherine noticed a large woman slip on wet grass and several men trying to help he run he said.

"I bet her bath has stretch marks!"

The story was as to be expect, fast, funny, some emotion although not as much as some of the others, all the characters seem to grow on you, now on book 7 we watch them grow, the action was fast and something happened that was first in the series, it made it more 'real'.

This is book 7 in there series, Jason has been growing before our eyes from a 10 year old and now mature 14 year old. Throughout the series he has had a temper and now and again goes too far. This time it does go too far and as the title says with Fatal results.
I am sure this will come back and haunt him in the future books.

The story was fast, original and as we have come to expect, growing pains. Scott seems to have taken a larger role in the book as he did in book 6. The charters work well together, I hope to see a TV series or film on this series, I like Alex Rider, but prefer Jason Steed as he seems more real.
