Review: Ark Angel
is a book of adventure, action, and crime, written by Anthony Horowitz.
It’s a book that will bring you to the edge of your seat and keep
you there until the final page! Alex Rider, a spy for MI6, a British
intelligence force, and Paul Drevin, both fourteen-year old boys who
spend two weeks together at Paul’s home, become great friends.
Spectacles, Combat Jacket, Silver Tooth, Steel Watch, and Kaspar, are
members of the eco-terrorist gang, Force Three, and Nikolei Drevin, the
multi-billionaire and owner of the Ark Angel, the first hotel in space,
might be the criminal behind the plot to destroy the Pentagon. Ark Angel is the sixth out of seven books in the Alex Rider series.
The rifle’s bullet nearly killed Alex Rider, but once again, he
manages to survive. Alex is immediately sent to a hospital where he
will spend weeks recuperating from this fatal incident. Just as soon as
Alex is well again, trouble strikes! Four men try to kidnap his
roommate, Paul Drevin. He does everything to stop them, but is
overpowered by the thugs. He is taken into confinement and is to be
held for ransom. What Alex doesn’t know is that the boy he just
saved is the son of multibillionaire, Nikolei Drevin. The four men,
also known as Force Three, have targeted Nikolei Drevin and are
planning to destroy his fabulous space hotel, Ark Angel. Alex, in
return for saving Paul Drevin, is invited to Nikolei’s bountiful
estate, but begins to feel uneasy. Who is this man? Packed with some of
the most enthralling scenes and adventure, Alex Rider takes the fun,
action, and danger to the limit!
This novel has fast action and realistic parts such as the launch of
the rocket, Gabriel 7 on Flamingo Bay, makes me feel as if I am in
Alex’s world. A great book for me contains action, danger,
adventure, an awesome ending, and makes me wonder what will happen
next. Ark Angel was the
perfect book for me and I enjoyed reading Anthony Horowitz’
greatest Alex Rider novel yet! If you want an action packed book, then
read Ark Angel. It will blow
your mind away! I would recommend the Alex Rider series to anyone who
likes fast action books and sometimes unforeseen endings. Anthony
Horowitz still has not disappointed me with his fantastic novels. This
book was a New York Times best selling book, and so are the rest of the
Alex Rider series! Keep up the good work A.H.!
