Plot:

 
Alex Rider was very suspicous after hearing of his uncle's death from being in a car accident.He soon went to the junkyard in which his uncle's car was in perfect condition,just several bullet holes in the glass. Alex was perplexed by the situation. Why would the police lie about his uncle's death? Alex was soon recruited by M16 a secret organization, the British version of the CIA. He trained for 6 weeks before going on his first mission, to Sayle Company. Herald Sayle was an Egyptian millionaire about to release his new computer. Alex knew there was something wrong about that computer, he had to find out what!

good:

Horwitz is a very good action writer. He includes a lot of good detail in his writing as well. He ends every chapter in a way where you just have to keep going or it will keep you in suspense the whole day.

weaknesses:

I didn’t see a lot of weaknesses in his writing. He describes all the big parts very fluently but what about the smaller parts? If he gave them more detail it would give the book more suspense, making the reader guess.
