This is the eighth book in the Alex rider series and it was one of the best because of all the cliffhangers and exciting chapters. There are only two more books in the series and I hope they are as good as this one. It was also the perfect size book for me because it was about 400 pages long and ...

I think that Anthony Horowitz is a really talented writer. He just nails boy-wish fulfillment. Wait, that sounds vaguely obscene--what I mean is that he knows how to write characters who are leading lives boys wish they could live. Well, you know, except for the parts where people are vigilantly...
''The Devil and His Boy'' is a good book for several reasons. First, I find this book good because its about a queen that was sleeping and then she went through a secret passage. I love stories with secret passages. Second, I find this book good because their is a magician who tells the queen of ...
At some point, Anthony Horowitz stopped writing tongue-in-cheek novels with more puns than a James Bond movie, dark humor, and an almost Dickensian absurdity to them. He started writing novels filled with action, suspense, realism, and little to no humor whatsoever. Since then, he has risen to th...
Have you ever wondered what someone's last words to you are during a loud noise? The genre of my book is mystery. My overall opinion of this book was that it was really good. The time period in the story is in England but it was written in the 90’s. It’s relevance to the story is that it is easie...
Mindgame is a puzzle-box of a play. A thriller that actually manages to thrill, and a very dark comedy that twists and spirals towards a completely unexpected ending. This is one play where seeing isn't quite believing and reading the text is the only way to uncover all the clues.
I recommend my book, SCORPIA, to read. It has a great plot, a great combination of character vs. character and character vs. self, a couple of similes, a suspenseful setting, and some good foreshadowing.As I mentioned earlier, this book has a great plot. It has several twists and turns, including...

The seventh installment of Anthony Horowitz's, Alex Rider series, Snakehead was an amazing book to read and had me wanting to read more and more.

This was a very well written book, like most Anthony Horowitz books. it had so many twists it was impossible what was going to happen next!! This was about a boy called David Eliot who was just a boy trying to win the school cup, but without realising it had to actually save the whole of London f...
I thought this book was very captivating and intriguing as it was focused around David Eliot's disappointing schooling experiences that led him to a paranormal world. After getting expelled for poor conduct he is offered a place at Groosham Grange, however this proposal was not by coincidence. On...

We hardly ever saw any cars in Estrov because nobody could afford to buy one, and anyway, there wasn’t anywhere to go. The black Lada probably belonged to one of the senior managers. Not that I was thinking about these things just then. The front door opened and my mother ...
The city looked tired and disappointed, the Eiffel Tower fighting against a mass of heavy clouds. There was nobody sitting at the tables outside the cafes, and for once the little kiosks selling paintings and postcards were being ignored by the tourists, who were hurrying back to their hotels. It...
Jinks more keenly than Joe. It was as if he had lost his only friend—which, in a way, he had. And not only was she dead but she had been branded a thief, and that hurt him all the more. The truth will always come out. That was what she had said to him. But how could he go to his parents or the po...
The French exchange was my dad’s idea. As usual, he was thinking of what would be best for me without really wondering whether it would be something I would actually like. As far as I was concerned, the whole thing was unnecessary. Yes, my French wasn’t up to much. But my SATs were still a whole ...
Indeed, it has often struck me that, but for our chance introduction, when I was looking for inexpensive lodgings in London, I would simply have followed my calling as a doctor of medicine and might never have set pen to paper at all. And yet some aspects of what might be called my private life h...
Wrapped in filthy sheets in the corner of the caravan, Tad seemed to be breathing more and more slowly, as if he had found the one sure way out of his new body and was determined to take it. Eric Snarby sat watching over him while, in the next room, Doll Snarby blinked back tears and tried on dif...
There really was something quite Old Testament about him, she thought, with his black hair falling to the collar, his white face, his bright, angry eyes. Moses would have looked much the same with the golden calf. Or Joshua storming the walls of Jericho. ‘They’re going to cut down Dingle Dell!’‘W...

Pedro had never seen anywhere like it: a great expanse of cobbles with hundreds of columns curving round the edges and two stone fountains on either side of a twenty-metre-tall Egyptian obelisk. Dominating everything – St Peter’s Basilica itself, the most famous cathedral in the world, stood ther...
We’d paid our bill at the Van Bates Motel and bought two tickets to England. That was the end of our money. And here we were at the end of the line. “I don’t get it,” Tim said. He’d managed to get rid of most of the flour but I noticed his hair was still a bit white at the sides. Maybe that was p...
