Stormbreaker Continued

The book I am reading, Stormbreaker, just got even more interesting. I am still not that far into it but from what I’ve read this last week, big hints that I think will all connect and be reveled by the end of the book. I ended my last post with the part about the cops coming to his door and telling fourteen year old Alex Rider that his uncle, Ian Rider, had died in a car crash. They also said that he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. This made Alex suspicious. Ian Rider was never alive in the time this book takes place in, but Alex mentioned that uncle Ian was a big safety freak, especially about the importance of wearing a seatbelt. Ian had aloud a girl in her early twenties to rent a room in his house. When Alex told her the story she also found it a little suspicious, but not like Alex had. When he went to the funeral he had met his uncles boss. Ian Rider had worked for the bank. The man had told Alex what Ian had done for his career. The man had also told him that Ian Rider would be greatly missed by everyone. That man had arrived in a limo, and when he was getting back in the driver came around to open the door for him, and at this time the drivers jacket fell open and reveled a gun. The driver quickly fixed his jacket. Both the driver and Ian Rider’s boss had noticed that Alex had noticed. They quickly sped away. This is where I am at so far in my quarter 2 outside reading book.

Stormbreaker

The book I choose to read for our second quarter reading book assignment was a book called Stormbreaker. The book is the first of a series of six. It was written by an author named Anthony Horowitz. It is a book full of action and suspense. I haven’t read much of the book yet, but my brother did and that’s what he said about it. I talked to him and he said he enjoyed another book in this series called Eagle Strike. That’s why I decided to buy this book with the gift card I had for Wild Rumpus that was laying around for about six months. The whole gift card story is how I chose my first quarter reading book as well. I figure if I bought it I might as well read it. Especially since I am forced to read a book each quarter. The biggest reason I chose to read though was because I heard it was a good book full of action and suspense. From what I’ve read so far I know that the main characters name is Alex Rider. He apparently is a strong and athletic looking fourteen year old boy. He lives with his uncle. His parents died in a car crash when he was younger. Then at about three in the morning the cops came to his house to tell him that his uncle named Ian died in a car crash, and he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. You’ll find out more about the book next week.

The Road And My Quarter 2 Reading Book

I just began to read the boo “The Road” today. Before today, I knew absolutely nothing about this book. However, in the first twenty pages of it I noticed that it mentions this road that they are following, so now it gives me a general description of it. After reading the first twenty pages of it, I decided that I think this will be a good book overall. I like reading about books that involve doomsday and the end of the world. Those types of books seem to interest me a lot. This book does have its negative ends to it too. It doesn’t seem to have any emotion behind it. It just seemed robotic when I was reading it. I think that the characters should be more in and acting more appropriately to make the book better and more interesting. I also think that it’s kind of weird that we don’t even know the names of the two main characters. When the author refers to them as the man and the boy it makes it seem like they’re rather unimportant than the two main characters. Despite the negative parts to this book, I am glad and excited to be reading The Road.
For my second quarters quarter reading book I have decided to read the book called “Stormbreaker” I believe that it is an action book. I also believe that it is a part of a series. Its about 250 pages long.
