Snakehead

I chose to go back to the book s started with, Snakehead, written by Anthony Horowitz. I am at a very interesting part where Alex Rider, the teenage spy is sent into Bangkok as an Afghan refugee with his father. The ASIS plan to have a cover story where he and his father, Ash, who works for ASIS, try to get into Australia. They are getting help from the group called Snakehead, and this is their major business, people smuggling. The Snakehead gives them an address and a place they are supposed to live ion Bangkok until they are contacted. Later at the home, the Snakehead come and take Alex to their headquarters where he is supposed to get all of their paperwork that will help make them citizens. When he arrives at the headquarters he is told that he has to box another person and then he will get all the paperwork. He sees how tough the opponent is and realizes he has to cheat. He took a big sip of water and when he got close enough to the man he spit at him, the man was blinded, and then Alex knocked him out. Then the Snakeheads were very mad, shots were fired, and Alex was ready to leave. The main Snakehead at the headquarters was named Anan Sukit, he was aiming at Alex, and then the lights when off. This was when I stopped and I think it was a good time because it was at a huge climax in the story. It was just such a good place but I put the book down and waited to find out what happened later.

The Alchemyst; Nick's blog

I changed my book the The Alchemyst, written by Michael Scott. I would call it an action and fantasy book. There is magic in it, but it is not like a Harry Potter, it is learning how to control your body energy. The main (good) characters are Nicholas and Perenelle Flemel and Sophie and Josh who are twins. The bad character is Dr. John Dee, and the story is about how the secrets of life. The Flemels and the doctor both have the elixir of life, which they learned in separate ways. The Flemels have a book called the Book of Abraham which contains all of the secrets. The doctor wants it a lot, and has been chasing them around for centuries, since they both have the elixir of life. Josh and Sophie are involved because they try to stop Dr. John Dee from hurting Nick, Perenelle, and stop them from taking the book. The doctor succeeds in taking the book, but Josh ripped out the last two pages, on accident, but they are essential for the magic to work. This was as far as I read and I think it was a very interesting and catchy book. It had a very exciting intro and I liked it right when I picked it up. I think this is a good action and fantasy packed book with many exciting turns in it. I like how it leaves you hanging at the end of each chapter and I want to find out what happens. Overall this book has so far been interesting and I look forward to reading more.

Snakehead By Anthony Horowitz

Snakehead, written by Anthony Horowitz, is a story about a teenage spy. The spy’s name is Alex Rider, and he works for MI6, and once in a while the CIA. This book starts out with Alex coming back from his past mission, which took place in space. He landed in the ocean, near Australia, where he was picked up to Australia by the Australian secret service. While he’s trying to get back to England, he experiences visa trouble, and cannot leave the country. Later on, he brings in one of the major threats, a terrorist group called Scorpia. They are planning an attack on an island with a bomb called Royal Blue, they want to blow up the island, with everyone on it. Then Scorpia devises a plan to take the bomb, they execute it successfully, and leave the vicinity. Then Alex is getting de-briefed from his past mission and he’s asked to help in another one. He is asked to go and help the Australians recover Royal Blue. He doesn’t want to, but finally agrees and then he’s tricked into a trap to see how good he is. He passes and then is asked to go and help, which he agrees and this is the end of the chapter. I picked this book because it is an action packed adventure book, and these are the kind of books I enjoy reading. It is very interesting and I like to think about the idea of a teenage spy. I think it would be very cool, but also scary at the same time. You would never know if you would live tomorrow and I think that it would be a very stressful life. Overall, the beginning of Snakehead is very action packed and an interesting read if you like adventure.
