Its full of action and never strops This book has nonstop action and adventure! If you get impatient when you read books that drag, this is the book for you. There is never a dull moment as Alex averts danger at every turn. You will want to read the whole series. Pretty cheesy. At one point, the main character uses a yo-yo to get onto an airplane. Reviewed by Anna This is a series about a 14 year old boy who becomes a spy, against his will. He ends up in the worst possible situations. If you like Spy books this is for you! no reviews | add a review

This book was clearly designed to entertain, and it does. Alex is an easily likeable character despite the less-than-in-depth characterization. The action never stops, and far from being a fight all the time type of action book, Stormbreaker serves up fights and chases, sneaking around, jumping out of planes, and crashing through ceilings.
What it doesn't serve up is thought-provoking, quotable content. However, if you are looking for an exciting piece of young adult literature, I recommend reading this book. Personally, I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. (
