the acations of the book is called the stormbreaker by the antony johnston is very execting and very fun. in the beginning of the book , the protagonist 's like familier or uncle is by killing , and he needs to find the killers

I realised about halfway in that I had seen the movie this graphic novel is based on, and it seems to be a pretty faithful adaptation.It's a pretty fun and quick read, definitely appropriate for middle grade. I can imagine a lot of kids liking this a lot

Alex rider is an orphaned teenager, living with his 'Boring' uncle who works as a banker. One day, Alex's uncle is killed in a car accident, and his world is crushed. Ian was the only family he had. What will he do now? However, after Alex catches a man stealing all of Ian's belongings out of their house, he finds out that Ian was not a banker, but a spy for the government. Alex is brought into the same organization his uncle worked for, and given a mission. He must investigate Sayle Enterprises...

I have to give this three stars (even though it is objectively worse than the actual first book) just because I get so much enjoyment out of how terrible this version of the story is. They really should have based the graphic novel on the actual book, not the god-awful movie. Looking forward to reading the rest of the graphic novels in this series and reliving the glory days of middle school haha.

It's been so long since I read any of Alex Rider's adventures, but coming back through this graphic novel was like I never left. I agree with some of the other reviews that in graphic novel format this story felt too short, but I also thought it did a good job of conveying elements of the story using images and the nuances of camera shots and angles. I really want to get my hand on the other graphic novels in the series, too.

2.5 (for someone who read the books) - ME3 (for someone who hasn't even heard of the books OR the movie - which wasn't accurate either) - NOT ME I will base my rating on the fact that Mr Smithers wasn't fat enough.No, jk, but REALLY. IT WAS SO UNACCURATE. A mix between the movie, the book and someone's imagination. Someone who clearly wasn't Anthony Horrowitz. They added things uselessly and cut a lot of important parts. FOR SOME REASON, they changed the appearance, backstory and NAME of the mai...

Fun adaptation but feel like they could have done more with the illustration

it wasint what I imagined it to be and they got Alex's personality all wrong! But anyone who is willing to draw a WHOLE BOOK has gotten three stars!

The book was a success, spawning several sequels.The film adaptation was a big flop.So...why would they adapt the latter into a comic book instead of the former?It's fun to see Alex Rider in comic book form, but, with the addition of Sabina (who, in the regular novels, doesn't appear until the third volume) and some scenes which took away from the original story, just like they did in the flick...well, that was a disappointment.With this as the start, I wonder: Will the other graphic novels be f...

Fun, light read. I did find the layouts a bit confusing from time to time, specifically some of the speech ballon placement. But overall a fun book aimed at middle schoolers.

Soon after Alex finds out the horrible truth - his Uncle was a secret agent killed on a mission - he is drawn into a dangerous plot involving terrorists, and must use his quick thinking to overcome their plans before he suffers the same fate. Johnston and Damerum bring the action of "Alex Rider" to life with a book that is sure to keep readers reading in a single go. Can Alex keep up with the pace, or is his first ever spy mission going to fall apart before it even starts?

Contains spoiler for this graphic novel, the movie adaption and Anthony Horowitz's original Stormbreaker.I am so disappointed in this book and I just don't know where to start.... Why would they base it on the movie instead of Anthony Horowitz's original book and only tell you that in teeny tiny little writing on the back? I don't want to read the graphic novel of the movie! Sigh. The original Alex Rider series was a large part of my childhood. I read those books about three times each and obses...

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/ Stormbreaker is the graphic novel adaptation of Anthony Horowitz's very popular "James Bond" type of series. The artwork inside is an interesting mix between manga and traditional American comics, with an easy-to-follow storyline and decent adaptation of the source.Alex Rider lives with his banker uncle in London. His uncle travels around the world for his job and leaves Alex in the care of a quirky young woman named

This book about a boy Alex Rider. Who becomes a spy after his uncle Ian Rider was killed Ian Rider was also a spy but he told Alex and Jack who was Alex babysitter and house keeper that he was a banker. Alex was forced to work for the agency that ian worked for orelse they would send Jack away since her visa expired 7 years ago. So Alex joined the agency and they gave Jack a permanent visa so they sent Alex to a camp for 2 weeks then they take him out and tell him he has a mission. They gave hi

Never really enjoyed this series. The comic book was pretty good. Much better than the novel. If you're looking for a quick read (I read this in under an hour) than this is a good book for you.

This was basically just reading the movie but it was a lot of fun. Although I was slightly disappointed that it was a graphic novel of the movie adaptation and not the book, I still really enjoyed this for what it was. A fun and easy read of which I finished in about 20 minutes. I have a lot of love for this book series and the movie and reading this has made me want to read the series all over again. :')

Although Alex Rider translates very well to graphic novel form, this was literally just a carbon copy of the film. Overall, a disappointing rendition of an excellent story.

26/03/18This was one of my all-time faves growing up so I cannot wait to finally dive into this series (first 5 books) in a different format! This felt a little like reading the movie script, but with pictures. BUT, it's Alex Rider so I loved it anyway.24/09/154.5This is an old favourite of mine, a quick read to destress me while I'm reading A Clash of Kings.

Stormbreaker is a graphic novel about a boy named Alex rider. He became a spy after his uncle was killed. His uncle Ian was also a spy. Alex was forced to work for the same spy agency as his uncle or they would deport jack. Alex had gone through years of training from his uncle who did it without Alex's knowledge. Alex is sent to a two week boot camp and given equipment for his big mission. He is sent undercover to learn more about a new computer stormbreaker. There he meets a man named Mr. Sayl...
