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.
