Ark Angel by anthony horowitz

Alex Rider is in hospital and determined to put his spying days behind him -but the reluctant teenage superspy is forced into action once again when agroup of terrorists breaks in. Suddenly Alex finds himself in the middle of a war that sems to be somehow connected to ark angel,a revolutionary space hotel.

i thougt it was a really good book, one of the best in the seris.It was really exiting and had a lot of avction in it there was a lot of cliffhangers which i thougt were really good. My favrite evnts were the go-kart race and the knife-figt in Ark angel.

i would rate it for 10-13 year olds because there isnt really swearing or violence.I think most peaple would think its really good but some peaple might not like it.

Storm Breaker By Anthony Horowitz

The book I've read is called Storm Breaker. It is written by Anthony Horowitz and is about a aboy called Alex Rider.
When Alex's uncle is "apparently" kiled in a car accident. Alex becomes very suspicious since his uncle is always a very safe driver. When he goes to see the car he sees that it had crashed but that it was also covered in bullet holes. The next day, his uncles bank calls and asks him to come in and see about inheritance and stuff.When he arrives at the bank he is told that his uncles is acctully a spy. Alex is then asked if he wants to take over his uncles job. As soon as Alex says yes his life changes for the worst. He has to engure danger, death and lots of illegal activity.
I enjoyed this book very much and would gladly recomend it to a friend. My eyes were glued to the pages If I was rating this book I'd give it 10 out of 10!
