Alex is forced to go to a school to become a better boy but he actually goes as a spy. He goes as Alex Friend and pretends like he is all messed up. Then one night he hears his only friend at the school yelling and he sees the adminastaters at the schools carrying him down to the basement (where they are forebidden). Alex follows them and finds out the secret to the perfect boys. To find out the ending you have to read Point Blank!!!
This is a great book for girls and boys. It's a mystery/adventure. If you liked Stormbreaker, you'll love Point Blank. I liked how you went from one adventure from the next. You'll love POINT BLANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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: Get the Point!
Review: Point Blank was the best book I have ever read. When I saw the cover I thought there was going to be alot of action in the book. I was right! Almost every second there was action. Anthony Horowitz made a good sequel called Stormbreaker. He always has a different personality for each character. Alex, the main character has different sorts of attitudes. My favorite attitude is his rage. He saw a S.A.S. agent fall of a building after he was shot by Dr.Grief. Alex jumped out of a building,hopped onto a snowmobile and blew-up Dr.Grief while he was in his helicopter. Wolf, the S.A.S. comander,is cool too.I hope this isn't the last adventure of Alex Rider.

Anthony Horowitz is an excellent writer and i would suggest the alex rider series to anyone who loves Spy adventures.

Summary: Point Blank
Review: The book Point Blank is an action packed adventure story. It is about a 14 year old kid that has been recruited by M16 to find out if two mysterious deaths are linked to a prep school for troublesome kids. The school is located in the Swiss Alps and is only for the sons of the wealthy. The minute Alex gets there he feels there is something wrong but he can't figure it out. Throughout the rest of the book he goes around the school trying to figure out what is so weird about the place. He goes through some close calls along the way and it almost always seems he'll will get caught and fail his mission. The book has action in almost every chapter an it is hard to put the book down because you want to find out more about what is going to happen next. I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and mystery. This was my favorite book I read this year and if you decide to read it I hope it will be your favorite too.

Review: This was an extraodinary book. It had a ton of action on every page. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat because I wanted to know what would happen next. There was only a couple parts where I felt bored while reading. Over all this was the best book I have ever read.
