You know how there are those books that you see everywhere, in every library, in every bookstore, and then one day you just break down and pick it up? This is one of those books.And I should have just left it.The first few pages were fine--I was all prepared to get sucked into this book . . . I mea...

A student highly recommended this to me, so of course I had to read it. Fast paced Bondish (if Bond was a 14 year old boy) adventure of spy in the making. Found it odd that the author felt compelled to go into great detail about the cars in the story, perhaps that's part of writing for boys that thi...
Alex's adventures remind me of the Hardy Boys and how I felt when I read them for the first time as a teenager. Sure, it's not great literature, but it's fun, easy and captivating. I will definitely read the rest of them. It was also the first book I finished on iPhone's Kindle and I must say, it is...

It features a solid protagonist facing many obstacles in the midst of pressing circumstances, and some interesting gadgets that he has to use in the mix of his newfound identity. However, I though...
(This is a review I wrote in grade 7) * Stormbreaker. Just the sound of the title makes you want to grab the book, tear it open, and....read! Well, this book has nothing to do with storms. ;) Surprisingly, it is about a computer. BORING! But wait, hold on, there are characters like Alex Rider whose ...
I can see why this series is so popular. It fulfills a fantasy of many young people and grown ups to be an international spy with all the pecks (cool gadgets in Alex Rider's case a very useful DS Nintendo), the danger and the intrigue that comes along with it. This first book in the series introduce...
Anthony Horowitz is one of the most successful writers in the country and the Alex Rider series, of which Stormbreaker is the first, shows exactly why. Fast-moving and action-packed, it's the story of a teenage boy who is recruited into MI5 and who foils a plot by a crazed hi-tech villain to unleash...
