Point Blank is an outstanding book if you like James Bond movies, or are a fan of anything with spies and adventure. The Alex Rider series is one of the people’s favorites, and this book is no acception. It will keep you reading and entertained all the way through, as it is an easy read.
This fast-paced book is for the young James Bond and spy-adventure fan. The book is short enough for the reluctant reader and cuts to the chase to hold attention. Other readers might quickly tire of the larger-than-life action scenes and clichés such as the stereotypical mad-scientist villain. Readers who enjoyed the first book will enjoy Point Blank.

Before he knows it, Alex is hanging out with the sons of the rich and powerful, and something feels wrong. These former juvenile delinquents have turned well behaved, studious—and identical—overnight. It's up to Alex to find out who is masterminding this nefarious plot, before they find him. When an investigation into a series of mysterious death leads agents to an elite prep school for rebellious kids, M16 assigns Alex Rider, a 14-year-old reluctant spy, to the case.
