I really enjoy the Alex Rider novels (and the movie, for that matter), but I wasn't very impressed with this graphic adaptation. ( )

Following Stormbreaker, the first in the Alex Rider series, this continues the story of the 14-year-old schoolboy now living a double life. Like a teenage James Bond, he is sent to infiltrate an exclusive school in the French Alps for MI6, the UK's Secret Intelligence Service. The owner of the school has taken control of the boys by cloning them and intends to take over the world. Will Alex be able to get out before Dr Grief clones him too? The Bond-style gizmos provided by Smithers are the most fun. I loved this action-packed spy story from Horowitz (famous for Foyle's War tv series) and Antony Johnston, enhanced by the vivid art of Kanako and Yuzuru, two Japanese sisters who collaborate on every illustration. Terrific read! ( )

Why did i pick it up...
i have read the chapter book and i thought it might be cool to see what the characters looked like also because of the action in the chapter book i wanted to see how much different it was.

Why did i finish it...
because it was exciting and adicting.

It was a really great book and I enjoyed reading it. ( )

The great sequel to "Stormbreaker", and the second book of the amazing Alex Rider series. Full of strange turns and unexpected happenings.
