I think the plot could be tighter, but it was a generally fun spy thriller middle school read.
I picked this up because I'd heard the series was hugely popular in England, and that there was a movie coming out.
The book was pretty much what I expected. I liked Alex and was impressed with his skills, but it wasn't the most exciting thing I've ever read. I'd read the others, and I'd still recommend them to kids who like action.

Stormbreaker the first of the Alex Rider series, is a great introduction into just what awaits in the series. The story starts out with normal teenager Alex Rider, or at least that's what he had thought, until being forced into the world of spies unwillingly when his Uncle dies in a mysterious car crash. This novel, holds so much creativity, and allowed my mind to explore this fantastic secretive world. There are many appealing moments in the story, like very cool gadgets and gizmos, that look like regular objects, truly a fun read.
A fun middlegrade book about a teenage James Bond forced into spy-hood.
Alex is a brave character that is likeable because of how he throws himself into the task at hand - being a spy.
A gripping story and "new" technology. I'd read the rest of the series if I found them at the library.

I've revisited these books so many times over the years and they're always just so fun
Not the kind of stuff I usually read, but the writing was great!
