Que nostalgia, me devuelve a mi niñez. Después de tantos años me apetece seguir con la saga de Alex Rider.
Tiene un lenguaje muy simple y al grano, con acción de principio a fin. Aunque hizo que me acabara el libro en un suspiro eché en falta más desarrollo de personajes, sobretodo en el propio Alex. Me dio la impresión de estar viendo una peli o jugando un videojuego, a pesar de pasar con él la mayor parte del tiempo no se muestra nada de sus miedos, motivaciones o sueños.
Muy entretenido y justo lo que necesitaba en este momento en que apenas me apetece leer libros, o terminarlos.

Re-reading the series that I loved when I was a pre-teen!!

The second book in the series was amazing. Alex was given a tough mission and had to use all his nohow the question is did he succeed? You will have to read to find out.

Back again for more great teenage spy action! Filled with amplified stakes, tight action sequences and some prime character development for Alex, Point Blank was an awesome follow up to Stormbreaker. It's a rarity for a sequel to surpass the first installment but Horowitz sure knows how to keep the momentum going!

I loved the tv show and was in the mood for a quick short read and this fulfilled that. I enjoyed it and will continue reading some more of the books if I am ever bored or want something easy to understand.
