Reviews / Votes
I enjoyed it a lot because I wanted to read on and see the methods he would use and the ways he thought of to escape. -- Stelios Gavrielides * Teen Titles * I loved this book because it is suspenseful and serious with a splash of humour. It has such a variety of character personalities and it's just as good as the other books in the Alex Rider series, which I'm really enjoying reading my way through. -- First News * First News * I loved this book because it is suspenseful and serious with a splash of humour. -- First News * First News * A fabulous story that crackles with suspense and daring and shows that a bit of cheek will take you a very long way [...] A great, pacy read. * Love Reading 4 Kids * Even though there are no illustrations, the brilliant descriptions really bring the story to life. When I read it I really feel into the scenes and I always want to know what will happen next. -- Young Reviewer * The Guardian Online * Horowitz somehow manages to grab your attention in each and every way, whether it is suspense or a heartfelt moment. -- Reader Review * Teen Titles * Packed with action, excitement and peril, the first book in this thrilling series will leave you keen to read the next instalment. * The Week * Finding books to engage boys in reading can be tricky, but I personally know many for whom the Alex Rider series (Stormbreaker being the first) was a total game-changer. * Top 50 Books Every Child Should Read, Good Housekeeping *More details
