3 StarsAnother three star read. I enjoyed it, Ill read the next couple of sequels at least, but there was a lot that held me back from liking it more. This is (mostly) more my fault than the books; which is, for the most part, a high quality action-adventure spy-story very much in the vein of a teenage James Bond that has fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. Unfortunately Ive never been that into the James Bond films, found Casino Royale to be a total snooze-fest, and have never had anyQ: You're never too young to die. (c) Q: Killing is for grown-ups and you're still a child. (c)I have been reading it, in minuscule installments, since when the universe was still young and hot and the dinosaurs were frisky yet. At least it feels so. I have no idea why I kept coming back for more. A glutton for cheese, maybe?This is cheesy enough to need a cheese cutting wire. I was amazed to actually see it provided in the plot! Very thoughtful on the part of the author, cheers!Q:It was only
For years, I have been hearing shouts, whispers, and raves about Alex Rider. Im so happy to have finally met him. Stormbreaker is book one in Anthony Horowitzs action packed series. Fourteen year old, Alex Rider stumbles into the spying world after the death of his uncle. But soon realizes hes good at the spying game. Running, diving, and snooping around! The action is nonstop. I liked how Alexs mind workedhe was observant, calm, and smart. One of my favorite parts was the way he talked himself
I read this book for a book club hosted at one of the schools that my library serves.I was expecting more from the book as it was/is so popular with younger boys and this first book spawned a whole series as well as a movie (though I do know that the movie bombed). I just found the book to be boring and predictable. It was hard for the group to come up with something to discuss during our meetings because the book is totally plot driven. There's not much wrong with being a plot driven thriller,
3.5 stars
Well, the writing in this book is actually not bad. The problem here for me is sort of 2 pronged (though one of the prongs may be "mufti-pointed"). First, this book is very young in some ways. With this plot it has to be, and that's the other problem.I just couldn't get my head around a 14 year old super spy. I know, I know I like Harry Potter and I liked the Ranger's Apprentice books as well as other books with young heroes. But those are set in fantasy universes where magic exists and so on.
