Stormbraker

What would it be like to lose your one and only relative? In the book Stormbraker (he first book in this series) by Anthony Horthawitz , That is exactly what happens. During this book you will experience a action packed thriller full of surprises and some disappointments.

The first thing that makes this Book awesome is the surprises and the action. In the second chapter Alex Rider the main character is having a normal day and he sees his uncle’s car in the junkyard. Out of his curiosity he sneaks in and takes a look and there are bullet holes in the side. After that he would find out that is uncle was a spy. Then he was blackmailed into becoming a spy to. And then take revenge on his uncle’s death and so on. The action in this book was great mostly because everything was realistic and real. This is what this is because in the book he knocked out people in real pressers points and weak spots. The author (Anthony horthawitz) did not just say “ok he kicked him in the head and he got knocked out” no he took time to look and search for this stuff. Same with the weapons not made up REAL.

While this book has a lot of surprises it also has some things that could use a little work. The main thing the author could have done better on was the plotline. In the beginning had plenty of surprises but, by the time you read half the book you knew what was going to happen. He could have prevented this from happening by laying the story out slower or start targeting the people who digest everything slower. Other than that everything was just fine except the character smit in the beginning he was going to be helping with the mission but after that you never heard about him. It is like the author forgot about him.

Some books are good some are bad most are both. During this book you will experience a action packed book full of surprises, and a few disappointments. Like the time when he found his uncle’s car or the missing character. Those are just some of the reasons that makes this book a want to read more. If you have that in your books you’re going to be selling a lot of books. The point of this book is to give a sense of independence.
