Eng bokrecension

I have read Point Blanc, the second book in the series of Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz

It is a criminal/spy book series in 8 parts. The first book “Stormbreaker” was in 2006 filmed with Geoffrey Sax as the director, with actors and actresses like bill Nighy, Ewan McGregor, Stephen Fry, Alicia Silverstone and Alex Petyffer as Alex Rider in the cast list.

Alex rider is a 15 year old boy, who lives with his housekeeper Jack Starbright after that his paternal uncle Ian Rider is getting killed by a Russian spy called Yassen Gregorovitch in a car crash. Ian rider worked as a spy at M16, and was investigating the Lebanese businessman and computer entrepreneur Herod Sayle and the new computer model “Stormbreaker”. The computer is being sent to every school and every student in Great Britain. But inside all the computers is a little but powerful and dangerous bomb. Alex begins at M16, and is sending to find Sayle and Gregorovitch, which he does in the end.

In the second book called Point Blanc, Alex is going to begin in a spy school in the Alps called Point Blanc. Before his journey to the school, he is living with a family and is disguised as the family couple’s youngest son. The father is the owner of the big business chain Friend, Sir David Friend. One day a woman who works in the spy school called Eva Stellenbosch, comes and taking Alex to a hotel where is supposed to stay to the term beginning. But one day Alex is getting drugged by his drink at dinner. Mrs. Stellenbosch photograph Alex naked and after she are putting him back to bed. When his waking up he found Mrs. Stellenbosch and the evil South African scientist Dr. Grief, who is planning to destroy the world with clones, by his plan called ”project Gemini”.

I think the book series is really good. It is good book for young adults. Anthony Horowitz has done a lot of books, and he has also written script for criminal TV-series like the Midsomer Murders and Poirot. I give the book 4/5 points.

What would i like to do if I won 100 million in Swedish Kronor?

I would like to go on a broad holiday, probably to Orlando, Florida to visit Universal Orlando resort and “the Wizarding World of Harry Potter” which is a part of the big fun park with lots of shops. Some of the shops are the Ollivander wand shop (where you could buy a wand with designs from the films), a candy shop called Honeydukes and Zonkos joke shop with crazy jokes articles, and a restaurant called “The three Broomsticks” and a pub called “the Hogs head”. And to buy souvenirs(like wands, props and T-shirts), food, candy(like chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott´s Every flavor beans and cauldron cakes)and drinks like Butterbeer(said to be quite sweet and real comforting and nice and smooth going down) from the Harry Potter books and films. There is also lots of rides, like the Dragon challenge(based on of the scenes from the fourth harry potter film), and the big Hogwarts castle with rooms, props and cool production designs, and a big ride called “Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey” with special films just for the park with the actors. Or I would save the money to the bank, to future things like house or apartment or something I want to do when I get older. If I want an apartment, it will probably be in a big city, like Malmo or Stockholm because I like when I living near everything. Or I should use the money to get a job at a theatre or something like that, because I think that I want to be an actor or maybe someone who is working with television as a TV host or maybe like as an editor or a producer for plays, films and TV shows. Or if I want to go on a cinema or a big play on at theatre I could pay with the money.

Sometimes maybe we can think that a 100 millions in Swedish kronor is very much. But if I want to do something big like a holiday or buying a house, it will cost very much money and I can only choose like one thing to buy or do.
