Review

"A first class children's novelist." The Times Educational Supplement * "Suspenseful and exciting" Books for Keeps * "The perfect hero... genuine 21st century stuff." The Daily Telegraph * "Is there anybody in Britain who will not enjoy this fabulous junior James Bond adventure?" The Daily Mail


Product Description

Fourteen-year-old Alex Rider, reluctant M16 spy, is back at school trying to adapt to his new double life...and to double homework. But M16 have other plans for him. Investigations into the "accidental" deaths of two of the world's most powerful men have revealed just one link. Both had a son attending Point Blanc Academy - an exclusive school for rebellious rich kids, run by the sinister Dr Grief and set high on an isolated mountain peak in the French Alps. Armed only with a false ID and a new collection of brilliantly disguised gadgets, Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil and establish the truth about what is really happening there. Can he alert the world to what he discovers before it is too late?

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 of the amazing Alex Rider, 22 Aug 2006
This review is from: Point Blanc (Alex Rider 2) (Paperback)
This is a sequel that is probably even better than the original. Stormbreakeris one of the best childrens books ever, but Point Blanc is more sinister and creepy. The writing is excellent as always and the action is brilliant. Robert Muchamore and Joe Craig are also writing excellent action books of the same type now but Anthony Horowitz was first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alex Rider 2. A classic. Anthony Horowitz, 15 Oct 2008
By Carol Aldridge (Torquay Devon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Point Blanc (Alex Rider 2) (Paperback)
Why this was not made into a film is beyond me. Its a great book, plenty of action and very real life. I would recommend you read Stormbreaker before reading Point Blanc as the stories sort of follow on.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought that sequels were usually worse than their prequel, 13 Jul 2002
When i first read stormbreaker i read it in about half a day, i was addicted, i couldn't stop reading. When i finished i thought to myself that i probably wouldnt be gripped like that by a book in a long time to come. The next day, i bought Point Blanc and i found myself very mistaken. Point Blanc gripped me like a vice and i highly recommend it.
The book starts 2 weeks after Alex's first mission and to his surprise, M16 need him again, this time he is to go under cover to Point Blanc academy, an isolated bording school for rich rebel boys in the french Alps, to investigate two "accidental" deaths of rich men, both of whos son goes to Point Blanc academy. But can Alex figure out what's going on before it's too late?
Point Blanc is an excelent book that leaves you hanging and waiting for Alex's third adventure...
