Stormbreaker - Anthony Horowitz

This book wasn't my sorta book, though it would interest other viewers! Personally my sort of books are books that include humour, or horror, this tale gripped me to a certain extent but not as long as you'd have hoped for!

He gets involved with agent stuff and training, in which bullies appear from all adventures, then he goes into his mission and finds out tons of stuff, he cuts it close just before everything would be released, and manages to ...  Read the complete review

I first read Stormbreaker when I was 9 so this was a brilliant book for me. This book is the first in the series of the Alex Rider books. The tagline being, 'Alex Rider - you're never to young to die' which straight away made it seem that this book will be exciting for my 9 year old brain.

I think this book is great! It is an action adventure book and is the first book in the brilliant Alex Rider series written by Anthony Horowitz. The book is about Alex Rider, 14 who is a MI6 agent but does not want to be one. He is sent to the south coast to find out about the strange computers named "Stormbreakers" hence the name of the book. When he arrives however he discovers the truth about the computers...

This book reminds me of a younger James Bond and also a bit ...  Read the complete review

"Stormbreaker" by Anthony Horowitz is a superb story describing a week in the life of fourteen-year-old Alex Rider. At the start of the story, he seems to be a normal schoolboy, but we soon learn that he will have to follow his ancestral destiny and become a spy. He is forcibly recruited for MI6 and is sent to a remote part of Corwall in which Herrod Sayle could be planning something deadly with the invention of the new Stormbreaker computer.

Any young Wannabe James Bonds ...  Read the complete review
