I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. When he was doing just the spy stuff, that was great, but then the story really fell off for me. First of all, the fact that Alex was constantly brushed off and ignored was frustrating. Like I get that he is a child, but he has proved himself many times already. Also, the incompetence of the CIA agents was insane! They honestly made the wrong move at every turn. Finally, the villain this time was crazy. He had such a boring run of the mill plan but was also so creepy and unnerving. I honestly couldn't stand him and hated eversecond he was on the page.
