Book Reviews of Eagle Strike (Alex Rider Adventure)
Book Review: Saving the world is just great!
Summary: 5 Stars
What does it feel like to save the world? If you don't know, read the Alex Rider series, by Anthony Horowitz. In particular, Eagle Strike. I gave it a five star rating. It was my favorite book. It had a lot of action in almost every chapter. It kept me occupied. The book was about Alex Rider, a teen spy. He does missions to help the world and find out about the death of some of his family members. His mission this time is to investigate pop star Damion Cray, and stop him from partially destructing the earth with nuclear bombs. The problem is, Alex's spy group doesn't believe that this will happen. Will Alex be a success? He doesn't know what he will be in for. Also, this book and the entire series is realistic fiction.
I thought this was a great book. I liked the ideas put in the story. I liked how Mr. Cray combined war, music, and video games into a real life experience. I also liked how realistic it was. I imagined what it would be like to save the world. For Alex, it's cool, and scary. He has many allies that adore him and rely on him to help the world, and he also has enemies who think he's doing a horrible job and want him to be murdered immediately.
In conclusion, Eagle Strike was a great book. The characters were cool and they showed the meaning of the book. I'd recommend it to middle school students or people of that age. Otherwise, many people can enjoy it. I enjoyed it, and you can, too.

Summary of Eagle Strike (Alex Rider Adventure)
Sir Damian Cray is a philanthropist, peace activist, and the world's most famous pop star. But still it's not enough. He needs more if he is to save the world. Trouble is, only Alex Rider recognizes that it's the world that needs saving from Sir Damian Cray. Underneath the luster of glamour and fame lies a twisted mind, ready to sacrifice the world for his beliefs. But in the past, Alex has always had the backing of the government. This time, he's on his own. Can one teenager convince the world that the most popular man on earth is a madman bent on destruction-before time runs out?Anthony Horowitz's enormously popular series about the world's premier teenage spy, returns for another round with secret agent Alex Rider fighting ingenious villains and charming every girl he meets. Eagle Strike, Horowitz's fourth fictional foray into the world of British spy agency MI6, starts out calmly enough as Alex and his lovely companion, Miss Sabina Pleasure, vacation with her family in the south of France. But before you can say Goldfinger, Alex spots his old nemesis, renowned assassin Yassen Gregorovich, on the beach. What Alex discovers is a plan so diabolical that it makes all of his previous adventures seem like a stroll in the Queen Mum's garden. Alex must fight to keep Gregorovich from executing the plans of a mysterious and murderous madman--an operation code named "Eagle Strike." He will just have to face down a few minor complications first: a virtual reality game that inflicts real pain; a fleet of Porche 911 GT3-driving hit men; and even a near fatal brush with death aboard the most famous aircraft in the world, Air Force One. But he'll persevere, or his name isn't Rider: Alex Rider. Eagle Strike, like all of the ridiculously fun Alex Rider adventures, is a pure guilty pleasure from start to finish. Even the most reluctant of readers won't be able to resist Alex's Bond-like ingenuity and charisma. Anthony Horowitz is a master of pacing, and as Alex swings from one cliff-hanging chapter to the next, Horowitz proves that you don't have to be Shakespeare to pen a crackerjack plot! --Jennifer Hubert
