Stormbreaker is an action-packed fictitious novel. Written by Anthony Horowitz, it was released in the first of its continual series of six books. It's main character Alex Rider, aged 14, is an orphan living with his uncle and housekeeper. One day, he receives news that his uncle has died in a car accident. Not believing the information, he inves In order to replace his uncle, Alex is forced to go on a dangerous journey to obtain information on a suspected criminal. With his own will-power, agility, and the help of several gadgets, Alex is able to brave through the dangerous encounters and return back in one piece.

Horowitz is able to use a suitable amount of descriptive language such that the story is interesting and at the same time, not exaggerated. Hence, Stormbreaker is the kind of storybook which is able to constantly keep its readers on the edge of their seats. There are numerous exciting parts in the book and that's when you can actually feel your heartbeat increasing.

However, what the flaws of the plot really are is how things always go Alex's way. Sure, he faces setbacks and problems, but somehow or rather, he always manages to solve it a little later. Perhaps this is actually what keeps the story going.

Overall, Stormbreaker is was an enjoyable read for me. I would recommend it to anyone who likes action packed plots or spy stories. For those down to earth people, this may just not be our kind of book.
