Point Blank (almost done!)


      I have gotten to page 155 and it just keeps getting better and better. Alex has been living in the "school" for about a week now and things are really weird here. All of the students with an exception of one act "the same but different" according to what Alex thinks of things. All of the students are bad and were sent here for that reason, but now for some reason they obey all of the rules and abide to all of the regulations and boundaries. Alex is spooked because of this abnormality. He tries to explore the school and discover more about what is happening. He discovers that his best friend at the school has changed and is acting differently. He is acting like the rest of the students and Alex realizes that something is going on. What does Alex discover? What will he do next? What will M16 or the people who run this school say or do? Will Alex discover important information? I guess we'll find out.

Alex Rider Point Blank By Anthony Horowitz

      I am on page 95 now and the incident involving Michael J. Roscoe is starting to come into play right now. Michael J. Roscoe had problems with his kid and so did several other very rich figures. So they all sent their kids to this school called point blank. All of the rich fathers ended up dying in accidents. It could just be a coincidence, however M16 would disagree with you. So they send Alex to live with a fake rich family for a week so that he could pretend to be they're child and learn more about the family. After that he is supposed to head over to Point Blank and investigate the situation. The academy comes to pick him up via helicopter but first stops off in Paris to refuel, but he stays there for the night. Is there anything going on at the academy? Why does Alex stay overnight in Paris to refuel? read this epic book to find out more details and what will happen next!

Alex Rider Point Blank By Anthony Horowitz

       So Far I have gotten to page 50 and some questions are being resolved, although even more questions are being brought up. Alex is back to adventuring and with his adventuring always comes thrilling scenes, fast-paced chapters leaving you wanting to read more and more, on and on. I left you early in the book on page 16 but now I am back and I have done some reading... There is this drug dealer that sells drugs to kids at Alex's school so Alex pursues him. He follows him all the way to the river Thames. There is a boat there and that is where him and his "business" partner live and operate (Their drug factory). There is a construction site right near where the boat is docked so Alex decides to take control and use the crane from the construction site to take the boat and plop it down in front of the nearby police station. Unfortunately he gets busted and they shut off the crane before it gets to the police station. The crane cant handle the weight so the boat falls on top of the community center. Alex gets off the hook because of his special status with M16. What does this have to do with the rest of the book? What is the point of this? Will we ever refer to this again later on in the book? I will keep you informed as I continue.

Point Blank An Alex Rider Adventure

     I have only gotten to page 16 but it gave me the general introduction to the story. There is this rich man named Michael J. Roscoe. He has something to do with electronics and owns this tower/skyscraper in Manhattan. He knows Alan Blunt. He was on his way to having lunch with the senator. A man named "The Gentleman" killed him in an elevator shaft. He was paid to make it look like an accident. What does this have to do with Alex? Will Alex have to deal with this contract killer? Will he be called up by M16 again? I guess i will just have to keep reading to find out.
