I
am currently reading point blanc by Anthony Horowitz, this
book is the sequel to the highly successful stormbreaker, the book follows on
from the events of its predecessor, Alex rider has just finished his first
mission for MI5 and now must juggle being a spy, and normal 14 year old boy.
However, his life as a spy isn’t over yet as deaths of the
two most powerful men have revealed just one link. Both had a son attending the
point blanc academy, an exclusive school for rebellious rich kids run by Dr
Grief and set high on an isolated mountain peak in the French alps.
Armed with a false ID and a collection of all new inventive
gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil and discover what is
really happening there so he can alert the world of what he discovers.
I decided to read this book as i read stormbreaker and
highly enjoyed it, I’m not very far in the book, but in the first few chapters
there is already a lot of action and suspense, i think the book will have a
good ending if the beginning in is this good. The front cover also looks good
as it sends a message across. For example, the colour that is used is a silvery
grey colour, this makes the cover look serious as it’s a slightly dark colour,
it also gives it a snowy effect as there is a picture of the French alps. there
also looks like there might be death in the book as you can see a crosshair
aiming for the mountains
