“When the doorbell rings at three in the morning, it's never good news (Horowitz 1). That is the first line in my book Alex Rider Stormbreaker. My book starts off intense right away with the ringing of the doorbell. Alex is a Britain teenager who is woken up to his doorbell ringing. He gets up from his bed to find out that it is a cop asking if this is the house of Ian Rider. Alex then finds out that his uncle has died in a car crash but he has no details. Alex then is determined to find out exactly what had happened because it all just does not add up. Alex goes down to the bank where his uncle had been working and Alex went to go talk to Ian’s co workers and they all seemed like they had something to hide. Alex then gets led to a junkyard where he finds Ian’s car with a bunch of bullet holes in the windshield. Alex then finds out that Ian had been working for a top secret agency for Britain called M16. All along Ian has been trying to get to the bottom of Herod Sayle a technology genius who is giving the computers that contain bombs to schools. Alex traps Herod on a plane and stops him from taking over the world. Herod got away and Alex is now on the hunt for him before he tries to take over the world again. In this journal I will be evaluating my book questioning things from my book and predicting things from my book. …show more content…
My book had a very good plot to it because it was laid out very nice and it had a lot of details. It was also good because it always kept me on the edge wondering what was going to happen next. Like wether or not Alex can capture Herod Sayle in time. One of the reasons I did not like my book was because it is slow and it took a long time to get to the point of what is going to happen. Overall it was a good book it was very fun to
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
There are several things that I like about this book. First off, I love historical fiction, and this is the genre of this book. Also, despite the author being too descriptive, the book went at a steady pace. For me, pace usually determines whether I will read the book or not, and I never really hesitated, or thought about changing books.
story, the plot was good. The liked the purpose of the author and the way
The theme of this book is that don't get discouraged if everyone else doesn't believe you. Keep what you believe stuck in your head and don't let someone else get you off track. No one believed Andy's telephone call. They all thought it was just a prank call. Andy didn't listen and did wha...
Hundreds of faceless people; you've seen them all before. Murmurs of broken languages no one cares to use anymore. You are carried along the worn-down flagstones until a towering office building comes into view. You push your way out of the human river and onto the deserted curb. A broken window at the rear of the skyscraper becomes your makeshift entrance. A looted atrium greets you. You welcome the break from the automatons. This has been your haven since you swam into the Atlantic, searching for your cure, and got revived in Plymouth, Britain by accident. Hundreds of deep gouges in the wall represent your resentment. Puddles of blood from various attempts, some you don’t even remember. A few nooses, some knives, one degraded nine-millimetre. Everything is corroded; the alloys in steel gave out years ago. Rust rules this once-polished world. You withdraw your diary once more and, flicking to a page further into the book, read another entry. 31st December 2167 I gave in and sent my application today. Maybe they will process me quickly. No one has been deleted in the last few months; I wonder what the clog up is? A new church has opened down the road, “The
I have a few dislikes about the book. My first dislike about the book is that it was full of vulgar language. I did not like the use of vulgar language in this book. I see no need in having it. Another dislike about the book is that it did not have any pictures. Pictures help people visualize what is happening in a story better.
What the author is doing is letting the reader foreshadow. A technique which creates suspense, a vital element in any action story. The author then explained what was being hinted at;
Overall, I think it's an amazing book because it's written so well, and it just has such a good storyline. I would recommend this book too all teenagers who love fictional/romantic books because I think it's worth reading it, even if you don't like reading. Cassandra Clare does know how to play with the readers emotions! If you read this sequel you will find yourself craving more and more.
have chosen it for my report. Finally, I will give my reactions to the novel
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
The style of the book is what made it so special. It was VERY easy to understand, and at the same time it was exciting. Some readers may think a tragic, but yet romantic novel is hard to understand, but what they don’t know is that all books are easy to read. You are just stopping yourself too soon to learn it. This book had no problems with being beautifully written and understandable.
... the ending of the book seemed too abrupt to me, and could be improved by making that a little smoother. It seemed like he was rushing to finish the book toward the end of the book, and quickly wrapped up the story at the end, I think that could be improved, but still nicely written.
At the bank where Alex’s uncle's office had been, an undercover MI6 agent greeted him and said the door was locked. When she left the room to take a phone call, Alex crawled out a
In this novel Alex shows his freedom of choice between good and evil, which is that, his superiority over the innocent and the weak. In the beginning of the novel he chooses to be evil, he shows us that by committing violence act like stealing, raping, and also murdering an innocent person which he got arrested for and put into prison for about 12 years. The amount violence he commits shows his abuse of power and his decisions toward evil. The violent acts that are described in this novel are very graphical and are intended to shock the reader but they also show that the suppression of others is wrong, because it is destructive to the natural rights of humans. Alex consistently chooses evil and violence to show his freedom of choice, ?Now I was ready for a bit of twenty-to-one . . . then I cracked this veck" pg 7. Alex beats, rapes, and robs the weak and ...
