QUESTION 1:12. Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?

RESPONSE 1: I would not recommend this book to anyone, neither to read another book from this author. The reason I would not recommend this book or read another book from this author is because, the action in the book Stormbreaker goes to fast than it doesn't go down to the conclusion until the very end of the book. The climax basically started in the first few chapters. As the author Anthony Horowitz did not describe the characters that much, and the book was in a narrator's perspective. The narrator's perspective id say was not that great, they were not that detailed with the characters and the scenarios. Overall I did enjoy the book until the end as it got boring and I wanted to stop reading but I couldn't. I would rate the book a 7/10 as I said earlier in the blog why I'm saying that. I might think twice of reading another book but I'm not sure. I know that there is a sequel, which I may read maybe, maybe not.


QUESTION 2:10. What advice would you give to a particular character? Why?

RESPONSE 2: Some advice that I would have given to a particular character would be Mr. Sayle. The reason I'm saying that is because, his plans were kind of obvious of what he wanted to do with the stormbreaker program. I say he should have had some type of security camera to watch each move of Alex, than Mr. Sayle would have caught Alex red handed. Some other advice I would give to another certain character would be Alex the reason why is because, he should have not have done the mission. He could have died and ended up not dying.

QUESTION 1: 17. If you could change one thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it?

RESPONSE 1: In the book, something that I would change would be is the storyline. The storyline as I said in my recent blog has a good climax from the beginning, but there is no rising action. To me it seems like the story is still at the climax and it probably won't go down to a conclusion. I would change the way Alex interacts with Mr. Sayle, what more does Alex think of him? mainly I would change the detail. The chapters go to fast and are not that detailed. When I read the part where Alex talked with Mr. Sayle, the conversation between them was just about the program "Storm breaker" and thats it. Alex didn't really talk much. Also the perspective is in 3rd person, as it is told by a narrator. If it were told by Alex there would be more action. Like in the part as I said where Alex and Mr. Sayle talk it would be good if the author as I said wrote more in the perspective of Alex.

QUESTION 2: 16. Which character would you like (or not like) to be your friend? Why?

RESPONSE 2: I would say Mr. Sayle because he seems to be a two face person. What I mean is that sooner or later he may back stab you. He seems like an untrustworthy person. The way he seems to be lying to Alex that the Storm Breaker program will not cause any damage. Also he seems like he is using every of his employees than he ends up telling someone to kill the employee. As a friend I wouldn't like to be lied to, and not have someone try and kill me.
A friend that I would like to have is Alex Rider. He is a good person, he helps out alot of people. Right now, he is helping find out what is the deal with the Storm Breaker. He looks like he will always have his friends back and is fearless. The reason why I know he would have his friends back is because he is on a mission to first find out about the program Storm breaker which he is than courageous to actually step up and do it, second is that he is also on a mission to find his uncles killer. So if like people mess with his friends he would be there, just like he is there for his family.

QUESTION 1:14. What other character(s) beside the main character is really important to the story? How and why?

RESPONSE 1: At the moment, I think the character Alan Blunt is important because, he was the one whose Alex Riders uncle worked for; Ian Rider. The book right now is starting to build up to the climax because in the beginning I found out that Ian Rider had died. Ian Rider was in a car crash, but that was a lie until later in the book Alex finds out someone shot him, multiple times. Ian Rider was on a mission for Alan Blunt to go undercover to go find out what Darrius Sayle is up to. Now Alex Rider is taking the responsibility to finish up the mission that Ian Rider didn't. The mission is called Stormbreaker. As Mr Sayle is giving away free computers with a file named stormbreaker that contains a virus, and is going to go all over London, and hack thru security systems. Alan Blunt is really important because he knows how to get through securitys and is preparing Alex to get ready to go undercover. Without Alan, Alex would have gone back to America, but Alan is kind of blackmailing Alex. If Alex helps Alan, Alan helps Alex to stay in London. Another thing is that Alan controls the mission he knows where to go and where not to go, as he plans out everything. Also he is training Alex for becoming an undercover spy.


QUESTION 2:8. What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?

RESPONSE 2: Well I think Alan should not prepared have Alex for this mission. The reason I think its wrong is because Alan is putting Alex's life in danger, just like his uncle. On the otherhand since Alex wanted to stay in London and not go back to America, its Alex's fault also. I think also that Alex is brave enough to go to the training camp and finish off the mission for his uncle. Right now he just finished the camp and is heading back to Alan Blunt leader of the M16's.
