Book Review: Eagle Strikes the best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the book Eagle Strike the setting takes place in England, at Damian Cray's factory for the GAME SLAYER, a new video game system.
In this book Damian Cray, who is a multi-million dollar singer, made a new high-tech video game system. The M16, or British intelligence, doesn't trust him because everyone who questions him seems to be killed in an accident sooner or later. HMMM? So Alex Rider, a M16 agent, is at the grand presentation of the GAME SLAYER. He is the only teenager there, so Cray calls him on the stage and wants him to try it. It was amazing. Later Alex finds out Cray uses the game system & factory as a cover-up for another plan. The plan is to blow up all illegal drugs in the world, but to do that he must use the U.S.A.'s nuclear bombs. So he steals the president's airplane that has all access to the 12 bombs. They are launched to blow up different parts of the world that make drugs. But this tactic would also take millions of innocent lives. So after a fierce battle in the plane Cray is pushed out and sucked in the engine & killed, Alex then self destructs the bombs in space. So Alex saves the world again.
I recommend this book to people who like suspenseful, action packed books that you just can't put down!

Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this book to people that love action and cliffhangers like when the book says, "In the far distance a fanfare sounded, followed by an echoing roar from the crowd. The bullfight had begun." I learned that no matter where you go, no matter how hard you try to get away from it, danger is always a-foot . It sticks near you and stays near you like a shadow. One of the things in this book that connected to my interests was the mind-bending action and how it just never ended. I never got bored! I just could not put this book down. It was like there was a magnetic pull between the book and my eyes. It was all because I could not stop reading on a cliffhanger. I had to know what would happen next! My journey to find the best book in the world has finally ended.

Summary: 5 Stars
My son absolutely loved this book and here is his comment-
"I am in third grade and this book is one of the best books I have ever read. When I read it I was totally absorbed in the interesting novel. My parents told me to read a chapter a day but I allowed my self to go ahead and read over three chapters a day.In a matter of days I finished the entire book. The book also has a preview of the next book Scorpia."
I will get all the books of this author for him.
Book Review: Best book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my very active 12 year old (kiteboarding, surfing, skateboard, video game enthusiast, and musician) who has not been particularly enamored with reading--considers it "not fun" --like going to the dentist. He says he couldn't put it down. Read it in 4 days during the school week. Claims it's the best book he has ever read. Granted, hasn't read many, but getting him to enjoy a book this much is a major victory. He wants me to get all the books in this series.
