Day Eleven - Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz

Hey everyone! Today I decided to read the second book in a series I've recently started and it definitely didn't disappoint! The book I read was Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz. Here's the blurb:

On his second mission, Alex Rider must infiltrate the exclusive Point Blanc Academy. But the school hides a deadly secret. Can Alex alert the world to the truth before it's too late?

My Review:

Another exciting instalment of the Alex Rider series, Point Blanc had me gripped from the get-go just like it's predecessor. I absolutely love the series; it's so full of life and different twists and turns. 

Again, Alex was absolutely on point. I adore his wittiness but also his bravery and endeavour. In this book, however, I found the secondary characters much more interesting. Point Blanc boasted a much more entertaining and unpredictable villain and I liked the introduction of not only adversaries his own age but also a potential friend. 

The danger and suspense had only been amplified for the second story although I did work out what was happening far easier than in the first. I imagine that many will complain of the habit Horowitz's villains have for revealing their entire plan however in a way I think it makes sense. These men are quite clearly narcissists, probably very proud of their schemes too so why wouldn't they want to share them?



Finally, as always, I'd love to hear all your opinions. Have you read this book? If so, what do you think?Do you have any suggestions for other good books? Don't be a stranger!
