## Description

desertcart.com: Point Blank: 9780142406120: Horowitz, Anthony: Books

Review: Horowitz's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - I am 38 years old, but I have a young cousin who has read all the Alex Rider books, and I decided to read them myself so that the two of us would have something to talk about the next time he visits. Having read all of the original James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, I am amused by how Anthony Horowitz continues paying homage to Fleming. This time around, Horowitz clearly models Point Blank on Fleming's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Both books are set in an isolated mountaintop hideaway from which the villains carry out their evil and elaborate plots, and both books contain narrow escapes, exciting downhill chase sequences, and over-the-top action. Both books are also a lot of fun. I can see why my cousin enjoys them. While I liked the first Alex Rider book (Stormbreaker), I think I enjoyed Point Blank more. The story seemed to move along faster, especially the last half. The violence, though tame by adult fiction standards, continues to surprise me but not in a negative sense. This is an action/adventure series, after all. I don't want to give anything away, so I will simply say that I liked the ending, which sets up some interesting villainous possibilities for future books in the series. Could Dr. Hugo Grief become Alex Rider's own version of Fleming's Blofeld? Certainly Eva Stellenbosch, Dr. Grief's right-hand gal, bears some similarities to Blofeld's long-time companion and co-conspirator, Irma Bunt (both women are noted as being especially ugly and completely devoted to their men). I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
Review: Amazing Book - Filled with so much action and adventure, I would definitely reccomend for ages 10 and older though because it has a bit of violence

Filled with so much action and adventure, I would definitely reccomend for ages 10 and older though because it has a bit of violence

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great adventure for a teenage M-15 Agent
*by L***N on September 14, 2024*

Horowitz has a lot of fun investing situations where a 14 year old uses neat gadgets and his youthful resourcefulness to bring down bad guys.
