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.

Horowitz juggles his interests among writing books, TV series, films, plays and journalism. He used books to escape the reality of being pretty sedentary, with no talent or physique for participating in sports. It is no surprise that he started writing at the age of 8 or nine years old. He was a rather unhappy child, being overweight, and spent much of his youth reading many books from his father's library. He was born in Stanmore, Middlesex, and his family was of the Jewish faith. English born author, Anthony Horowitz, is a novelist and screenwriter specializing in mystery and suspense genres.
