I'm looking for a novel, or a series of novels, that have assassins in them as a sort of central theme. Preferably fictional, fantasy or sci fi in genre, wouldn't be too fussed on real life stuff. I know this is a sort of vague description, but I can't think of a better way to describe it. Anyway, thanks in advance.

ie: You get me old bean? That was jolly wicked.

I can read an adult book. But like I say i'm not a human dictionary and every person is sure to come across a word in a book they don't know the meaning of.

In an 'adult book' I can read every word in it and that isn't being exaggerated, I can nearly read most of the words in something like Shakespeare.

When I say read I mean understand. It's worrying if you can't read an adult book at your age.

Well of course i do, there are a lot more intellectually challenging books then Alex Rider. i should really have said a lot more. I mean if I was reading an adult book. I wouldn't try to pretend to myself that I could understand every word in it. That would be a foolish thing to do.

Yeah. I read Garth Nix aswell, i'm currently enjoying his "Keys to the kingdom" series.

My mom gave me a copy of that for Christmas. She didn't realise that it said "Ottaker's Free Exclusive" on the front cover until I pointed it out to her. Still haven't read it either.
