BOOK REVIEW!!
Hey readers, I am going to review on one of the books of the Alex Rider series called Stormbreaker! The Main Characters are: Alex Rider Alan Blunt: Head of MI6 Harold Sayle: A billionaire making stormbreakers Jack Starbright: Alex Rider’s friend Ian Rider: Alex Rider’s uncle Alex Rider is a 14-year-old teenager that lived in Chelsea, London. He finds himself as an agent of the MI6 agency ran by Alan Blunt. He risks his life in many dangerous ways to find the truth of his uncles’ death or disappearance and completing his uncle’s last mission. The character in the book I find most interesting is Smithers, who makes gadgets for MI6 agents, because the gadgets he makes is very interesting and I like the way the gadgets work. I think that the character that changes a lot in the story is Harold Sayle because he acts as if he’s a good guy in front of many people but he was found out to be the main villain of the story.
This book is written in third person. The book Stormbreaker is a book that wants to make you read on. I think that Stormbreaker is a great spy book because of the spy actions and the cliffhangers in the story makes you really want to read on. My favourite moment of the book is when Smithers gave the gadgets and showed the cool and amazing features the gadget has to Alex Rider. I also think that Anthony Horowitz has a very imaginative mind because of the gadgets’ features and many other things that not every author could think of. I really enjoyed reading this book because Anthony Horowitz really wrote the book that is suitable for all ages and I highly recommend everyone to read this incredible spy book! I also recommend everyone to continue the other books in the Alex Rider series.Anthony Horowitz described a lot about the character’s feelings and attitudes as well as many other descriptions like for example, places. He told the reader in detail about the character’s profile and identity. I think that he really thought in detail of the characteristic features and he showed every reader as if they’re in the story like going to a new dimension!
This is first ever book written in the Alex Rider series. In the beginning of the story, Alex Rider finds himself in a situation when the police arrives and told him that his uncle, Ian Rider, passed away in a crash and giving him details that he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. Afterwards, Alex Rider finds out that his uncle is working for an agency called MI6 and how he actually died. Then a secret reveals to Alex as his uncle had taught him many spy skills before he was recruited to the MI6. In the MI6, he was given a task to accomplish his uncle’s last mission, as he was to investigate on billionaire, Harold Sayle about operation ‘Stormbreaker’, an educational computer given to every school in the U.K. Later on, he finds out that the ‘stormbreaker’ was a computer filled with a smallpox virus which could take away thousands of children’s lives. The story then reveals why Harold Sayle put smallpox in every stormbreaker computer because he was bullied a lot when he was young in school especially by the future prime minister. Alex Rider was then captured and tied against a tank. He escapes and goes to the science museum where he shoots the stormbreaker and Harold Sayle and was presumed that Harold Sayle was dead. At the end, Alex Rider finds himself in a situation when he gets onto a taxi and the driver was Harold Sayle. He leads Alex to the top of building, where he attends to shoot him instead, the murderer of Ian Rider (Alex Rider’s Uncle), Yassen, kills Harold Sayle from a helicopter.
