This month I read Alex Rider – Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. It starts out as a normal London day, Alex coming home from school to find out that his uncle died in a “car accident”. But then when Alex attends the funeral, he learns that there were bullet holes in the windshield. Then he finds out that his uncle didn’t work at a bank, but was a super spy going undercover to investigate the suspicious new technology being built by madman Herod Sayle. Their first clue to him being up to no good was his computer factory was heavily armed with soldiers. Alex goes undercover to Sayle Enterprises to find out what was going on. He did some exploring and found out that Sayle was bullied by the current prime minister of England. Sayle loaded the new computers with a form of smallpox with no immediate cure. Schoolchildren would die in a matter of minutes. With Alex stop him, or will he pay the price of a spies failure.
I liked this book because of the nonstop action and good description of what was going on in the book. I could picture all the scenes that the book described at every single point. The characters were described so well that I saw them for their every detail. That is why I liked this book.
My favorite character from the book was Alex, the main protagonist. He was my favorite because of his bravery and perseverance. One quote to show this is “But all in all you are to be congratulated, Alex. You not only lived up to our expectations. You way exceeded them.” He took many risks and some failed, but he never stopped trying to complete his mission. That is why Alex was my favorite character.
Remember to do all the parts. You missed out the favourite quote and why!
