Stormbreaker

By Anthony Horwitz

Review by Casey

“Funeral voices”…that is the name of the first chapter. When Alex finds out that his Uncle was killed in a car crash. Ian rider was who Alex had been living with until his death. Alex's life gets tipped upside down.

In this amazing adventure story Anthony Horwitz make that character Alex Rider come alive. I felt like I really knew the character and when he was in trouble my stomach was churning. Stormbreaker is a must read. It keeps you going and tell the unimaginable. It is also to be a major motion picture soon.

Alex finds out that his uncle was not really killed in a car crash when he goes to the junk yard to find his uncle's BMW sprayed with bullets on the driver's side. The next day Alex has to go and meet with the people that worked with Ian Rider his uncle. When he gets there he wants some answers he wants to know why he was told that his uncle was "killed in a car crash because he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt". He ends up working for England himself trying to finish the job that his Uncle had started.

My favorite part of the book was when Alex first goes to meet the people that Ian Rider worked with, and Alex finds out what his uncle really did. His uncle was not banker her worked for England's intelligence agency he was a sort of spy. The man that Alex is having a meeting with leaves the room and Alex hears them talking and her wants to find out what is going on. It seems kind of suspicious this huge dark building so secretive looking. So Alex wanders a round and finds out that his uncle was a spy and had been murdered by a contract killer. This is when the truth really comes out.

My opinion is that this is a very good book anyone who likes to feel what the character is feeling and go places that make you want to go in the book and help fight should read this book. I loved this book and I am not that big on adventure stories normally I think that is isn't that high quality writing to just tell chase scene after chase scene, but the way that Anthony Horwitz describes the good and the bad guys I wanted to jump in the book and help. This is the first of what I hope a very good series.
