Review of 'Stormbreaker (Alex Rider Adventure)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

These books came out in my teens, of course. I remember listening to at least the first handful on audiobook, and enjoying them quite a lot. I lost track as I got older, so it's nice to pick them back up digitally and come back to them afresh.

Horowitz is a well-regarded writer and deservedly-so. Young spy stories are a good genre in themselves, but he adds authentic British teen to the mix and his action scenes are great fun. I do like how the villain reveals his plans to the captive Alex - a staple of the medium - and the daredeviltry and exciting escapades are, I know, bound to continue.
