Alex has been given an all new assignment: become the next student at a prep school for rebellious boys to investigate the assassination of two fathers, and survive his classes - and encounters with the bad guys - long enough to get the answers. Johnston and Damerum brings fans another colourful adventure with the next fast-paced graphic novel in the popular "Alex Rider" series. Will Alex be able to keep up the right appearance long enough to get him and the other students out alive?
I did not finish it now but it seams very good and interesting for smaller kids. You got all the invormation in a comic. There is also the same book not in comic but much thiger.
Very thrilling intense fun book for kids who like action and mystery. The book is not confusing like normal average chapter books While these books are great for kids because there is a chapter book of this book but this version is just great and really helps the reader(Myself) understand the situation or scenario. Overall I really loved this book and afterwards I'm definitely going to be reading more of this series while also reading more comic books.
ok, this book was way better than what the last graphic novel.the previous one had not been true to the story and had been extremely silly, this time, however, the book stuck true to the original plot and was way more engrossing. the chracter of ms.stellenbosch, was extremely difficult to imagine while reading the book, but the graphic novel depicted her wonderfully. also, the fights were less confusing.[!!!SPOILER ALERT !!! ]they absolutely left out the character of daivd friend's daughter and
I really enjoy the Alex Rider novels (and the movie, for that matter), but I wasn't very impressed with this graphic adaptation.
Written by Anthony Horowitz this book takes place in Point Blanc school and present day. The main charterers of the novel are Alex rider and a evil scientist that wants to take over the world. Alex Rider need to go under cover and stop this evil villain from cloning people. I liked the charterers and the well drawn pictures, but it had a confusing plot and it was hard to keep on top of it.
27/03/18Honest really enjoying reading these. I will say though, and I noticed this when I read the first gn in this series, you definitely miss a lot from the story & plot. Unless you've read the books you will probably be a bit confused because quite a lot gets let out. This would be a great starting point to get kids to read the series (or books in general), though.
Alex Rider is a fictional teenage spy created by British author Anthony Horowitz. I loved this book because this is in graphic form and made my reading quite a different experience. My first graphic novel was Watchmen by Alan Moore and comparing Point Blanc with that, Point Blanc is more enjoyable, engrossing and grappling. It may not have the philosophy and symbolisms that Alan Moore incorporated in the book for it to deserve a slot in Time 100. But, I don’t always look for philosophy and symbo...
I thought this book was pretty good, I enjoyed this book as it was pretty action packed and was interesting. I also enjoyed all of the spy stuff that was in it as it made you feel like you were going on the mission with the character as it showed all the thoughts etc.
It was so much fun to read this and remind myself of the plot after not having read the original book for years! Although I definitely preferred the original book, this was a fun, enjoyable and extremely quick read.
I read this book because I read stormbreaker the first book of the series and I enjoyed it, I liked because he's older and gets better gadgets and missions, I learned that Alex Ryder's parents died as a child and he is the only child. The most interesting part of the book was when Hugo grief made a clone of Alex Ryder
I caught this one at a Hasting Close Out Clearance, and read it before donating it to my local library. It looks like manga style, but the format is more like an American comic, so American readers won't be too confused, but manga afficionados might have a bit of confusion at first. It contains violence, but nothing too extreme; no scantily dressed women. Clearly formulated to fit American sensibilities. Great for reluctant readers, because you might be able to get them interested in the origina...
I really liked seeing Alex Rider’s adventure come to life with these exquisite graphics. I hope students will pick this up and go on an adventure with Alex Rider!
Synopsis: Teenage spy Alex Rider is sent on a mission to investigate Point Blanc, a finishing school for boys. Posing as the son of a rich business owner, Alex finds that the school is overly guarded, and most of his classmates seem to act exactly the same. Who could be behind this...and why?The Good: This is mostly true to the book, with one or two exceptions: The part about the rich business owner's teenage daughter is left out...but isn't missed; that was my least favorite part about the orig...
It's kind of trippy to read the book in English and the graphic novel in Dutch, but hey what'ya know. I'd forgotten they used the plotline of the Stormbreaker movie as the Graphic novel, and therefore Sabina is already in here.
More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/ Point Blanc is another solid adaptation of the popular "young James Bond" series of books by Anthony Horowitz. As with the first graphic novel, the essence of the story is ably captured and the flow excellent. The over-the-top quality of the characters especially shine in the graphic format.Alex Rider, fresh from uncovering the Stormbreaker plot, decides he doesn't want to work for Mi6 after all. But a new job calls h
I got this for my kids to read and I think I'll skip future issues. All of the books have the same story line: Alex reluctantly agrees to participate in an investigatory mission only; things quickly go sour and he's forced to take action; he ingeniously saves the day, but gets no credit.
This book made me fell scared because Alex the main character loses control going down a ski hill and a train is on the tracks at the bottom of the hill. Will he survive? Read the book to find out.I think this book would be suitable for grade 6 - grade 8. I would recommend this book to kids that love adventure and drama. I loved this book because there was so much action in this book that you will never be bored, well once you get near the end .You can go check it out your self in the school lib...
This was much better than Stormbreaker: The Graphic Novel. I am happy to say that it stayed true to the original plotline much more than the aforementioned book did. Obviously, it did miss some key parts but nothing too noteworthy - just me being a little nitpicky. I still found the characters frustrating however. Alex is impulsively childish and stupid, Jack is freakin' annoying with all her drama queen panicking and screaming and Dr Grief wasn't as "evil genius" as he should have been. The plo...
It was a pretty fascinating book but it had long slow parts.
