It is apparent that he thinks highly of them and wants other people to read them as well. Every time some of his friends are over he tries to get them to read at least the first book. I decided to read the series since he has been making such a big deal about it. The Review – Alex Rider is a fourteen year old boy that has been well trained for life. His Uncle had made sure of it from the time he’d gained guardianship of him. When the book begins he finds out that his Uncle had died. It however, doesn’t sit right with him how he is told he died. So, naturally he starts trying to figure things out for himself. Alex gets himself noticed by his Uncle’s previous employers and they decide the boy could be of some use to them. They first ask him to join them and then they threaten him when He declines, which then compels him to join. Once he joins he learns his Uncle was a MI6 operative and how he actually died (as opposed to the story the police told). He is then set on the same course his Uncle was set on in an attempt to find out what was going on and what had led to his Uncles death. I really enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to continuing the series. In my opinion it is written like a teenage version of James Bond. Ironically, James Bond is mentioned within the pages of this book. I do believe that any child that likes a bit of Mystery, suspense and spy/detective like books will enjoy reading this book as much as I did. As a spy story for teen readers, Alex Rider goes the James Bond way: over the top and megalomaniac villains with diabolic plans, the hero being captured, a desperate escape just in time... It's all action, with little room for development of the characters. Entertaining enough, but I found myself missing the more down-to-earth and realistic approach of the CHERUB series. this was a fun family read that got a little harder and harder to suspend disbelief as we went on. but still from beginning to end every time we stopped reading for the night the 12 year old would say "you can't stop there!" so that's a really good sign. i think that the holes that definitely exist in overall plot and story aren't ones that would really matter to a younger reader so for my rating i can ignore them since the rest of this was so fun.

Alex Rider is veertien als zijn oom vermoord wordt. De Britse geheime dienst M16 dwingt hem om de missie van zijn oom, die buiten zijn weten geheim agent was, te voltooien. Na een loodzware commandotraining vertrekt Alex naar Cornwall. Hij gaat op onderzoek uit op het domein van multimiljonair Herod Sayle, de bedenker van de blitse Stormbreaker. Sayle wil duizenden exemplaren van die computer cadeau doen aan scholen in heel Engeland. Maar wat is zijn echte bedoeling? Alex probeert erachter te komen, met gevaar voor eigen leven.
