Summary: Point Blank
Review: Heading:Point Blank
By:Anthony Horowitz
Reviewed by:D.Booy
Period:P.1

Point Blank is a book meant for young adults. The main charachter in the story is a fourteen year-old by named Alex Rider. In the prequel to Point Blank, Alex's uncle dies so he has to live with a friend, Jack Starbright. Alex is then recruited by M16 to be a spy. In Point Blank, M16 has suspisions about a finishing school for children with rich parents. Alex is then given a fake identity adn enrolled in the school. By the time Alex discovers the horrible truth behing the school, the teachers have already found out his secret. Alex must escape from the school and alert M16 about the school's secret plans. Alew then treis to escape after using a makeshift snowboard and a trsin to finally evade persistent guards that have been set up around the school he finally makes it down the mountain that the school is located on. To his dismay he must go back up the mountain with and elite force of soldiers on a rescue mission to save the children still enrolled in Point Blanc.

I liked this book because I can relate to the main charachter who is about my age. Alex also runs into diffrent peoblems he must get out of during the book. The action is intense. I found it very fun to read about how Alex will solve a problem or get into one. " He now new that he had to get up to the third floor." The intense spying action that makes this book so interesting keeps readers on the edge of their seats. I couldn't put the book down until I was through reading it, and even after I was finished, I wanted to read the book over an over again.

I like books with lots of action. I enjoy reading a good book with lots of action. If I sit down and read a really good book such as Point Blank I will get up after I am done reading pumped up. Some of the books that are sold today are all action and have no depth of story. The action is jut a vehicle to keep the story going. Unlike some of these books that are read by our ypung people today, Point Blank has a cohesive plot, and when the action kicks in, it is perfectly placed and well written. "Alex yelled as he swooped down the mountainside, barely able to control the sheet of metal under his feet." Such action scenes a this are place throughout the book Point Blank.

My favorite part of the book was when Alex was tries to escape from the guards that the school's director, Dr. Hugo Grief, had placed around the school, supposudly for the safety of the students attending the school. When Alex find out about Dr. Grief's despicable plan, Alex unwitingly reveals himself. Dr. Grief captures him and promises Alex that he will die a painful death, and the plan will still be successful. Alex uses one of his hi-tech spy gadget to escape from the prison cell he is locked in and makes a snwboard out an ironing board. He then starts to snowboard down the mountain but is then followed by guards with machine guns and snowmobiles. akex fears to be killed. He barely manages to evade his pursuers, but he has one more milestone to pass before he is safe from Grief.

Summary: Point Blank rocks!!!
Review: Horwits keeps gettng better and better as he goes aong with his books. Stormbreaker was a great way to introduce me to this series of books I am now insane about. I loved the way the characters were made in Point Blank like how they very from bratty Fiona to evil Dr. Grief. I'm wondering do you think that it would hurt unbelivebly to be hit by Mrs. Stellenbosch. I do. SHE CAN BEND MEATLE!!! My favorite line in the book is when Alex says to Fiona, "Fankly Fiona I would pefer to kiss the horse. My favorite thought in the book was when Alex steals the Ironing board to snow board down the montain. My favorite action part was when the snow mobile crashed Dr. Greifs helicopter. I better end this before you all fall asleep,so I'd like to recomend this book to children who like action and it definetly gets five stars from me.

Summary: Not very exciting
Review: I didn't like this book very much. It was not beliaevable and stupid in some places. My dad bought it for me but I told him not to buy any more for me. Harry Potter is better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Point Blanc - A Good Book!
Review: I have just read Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz. It is the sequal to Stormbraker. It tells the adventurews of Alex Rider, a reluctant 14 year old super-spy working for MI6. It is a really exciting books. It is like a younger, cooler James Bond.
Alex is sent undercover to a school for rich boys in the French Alps. MI6 belive that the death of two of the world's most important men have something to do with the school their sons attend - Point Blanc.
This is a really good book

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Point Blank I read the book called, Point Blank by Anthony H
Review: I read the book called, Point Blank by Anthony Horowitz. The book was very interesting because Alex rider goes on a lot of action packed adventures. This is because he is a talented young spy. Personally, my favorite part is when Alex was chasing a man in a boat up a ladder. The man closes the latch at the top of the ladder behind him and locks it. Alex used one of his neat gadgets called, "Zit Cleaner" but what it actually does is eats through any type of material. I liked the book but it was a little confusing. I recommend it to people who like spy books and I rate it three stars.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Point Blank a Book to Remember!
Review: I think Point Blank was wonderful. It was full of adventure, and mystery. Point Blank is about Alex Rider, a 14 year old boy who works for MI6. He is trying to find out why two rich and famous men were accidentally killed. So, he starts his investigation by going to the school that both of the men's sons attend. That school is called Point Blanc. The different thing about this school is that in order to go to this school you have to be the son of a very rich man. So Alex disguises himself as Alex Friend, the son of a very rich man. Is everything just fine for Alex or does he need to be bailed out? Is he getting into major trouble? Find out by reading Point Blank!!!
