Summary: Mini James Bond
Comment: ?STORMBREAKER? by: Anthony Horowicz was an overexciting book full of adventure and edge of your seat sequences. This book?s plot is set in England in the present time and possibly a couple years in the future. The main character Alex Rider a 14 year old boy?s uncle dies and the police claim that it was due to a car accident. Alex knowing that his uncle is the most careful person in the world knows that he was wearing his seatbelt while driving since the police said that was another reason of death. Alex goes and finds the car to investigate the actual cause, almost killing himself in the process Alex finds that the car is lined with bullet holes and the windows all blown out from the flying projectiles. Alex then goes to his uncle?s so called work at the so-called ?bank?. Alex then climbs outside of the enormous building to reach his uncle?s office and finding top-secret James Bond like files realizing that his uncle wasn?t a banker. Alex then is recruited by MI6-Britain?s top-secret intelligence agency. And he is to finish his uncle?s mission, to spy on a very suspicious person, Herod Sayle. Through out Alex?s mission he finds himself stuck in some sticky situations but you will have to read the book to find them out.
I would give this book a 5 star rating due to the high action. I would also recommend this book for young teens that like James Bond like material.
I personally liked this book because of the constant action feeling and the top-secret gadgets used by Alex.

Summary: Stormbreaker
Comment: ...Do you have a sweet tooth for action packed adventure books? Do you have a craving for that one good book you've been waiting for? Stormbreaker is the book for you.

One rainy night in Chelsea, England, at the residence of Ian Rider and his nephew Alex, two Bobbies, British policeman, rapped sharply at the door. It was three a.m. Ian was away on a supposed business trip for the bank that he supposedly worked for. Alex was the only one home. The Bobbies told Alex that his uncle had gotten into a car accident and had died because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. Alex automatically knew that they were lying, so he started to investigate his death. Along the way, the bank that Ian had allegedly worked for called Alex and said they wanted to meet him. They wanted to send him into Port Tallon and take out a top-secret terrorist act taking place at a world-renowned computer company. Alex took it, went to Port Tallon, and went through with the mission.

As Alex went along in his mission, he encounters countless dangers and has almost died. Will Alex complete the mission and save all of England? You'll have to read the book to find out.

We give Stormbreaker five stars out of five. It was one of the best books that we've ever read. The action of Tom Clancy is mixed with the suspense and mystery of Dean Koontz, to form a brilliant masterpiece that hooks you right away. This is a great book and we recommend it to anybody and everybody. Anybody who likes action is sure to love this book.

Summary: This isn't just another YA book!
Comment: I don't remember how I got hooked on the Alex Rider Adventure books, but I'm glad I did. Alex is an unusual fourteen-year-old with many skills: he is fluent in French, Spanish, and German...has the ability to drive a Quad...a Blackbelt in karate...can play snooker like Minnesota Fats plays pool...and has a nose for danger...AND a sense of humor! He usually finds himself up against the wealthiest, nastiest, cold-blooded villains this side of James Bond. Alex is also the youngest special agent MI6 (British Intelligence) has ever had. Put all that and more in a fast-paced, action-packed, page-turner of a novel and you can't lose. Mr. Horowitz has developed a likeable and interesting hero. I hope he continues writing more of these wonderful books. I think adults would enjoy reading about Alex, too.
