Sakura & "Stormbreaker"

Last night the power went off. I hate it when that happens. I had almost 25 web pages open, and I had to go back and find them all. Maybe I should start using Firefox; it has a button that will let you reopen the pages you were looking at before your computer restarted...

My dog is laying on top of the heating vent in my floor, and my cat is asleep on top of my monitor. They both have their own ways of getting warm. ^..^

~ Book Review ~

"Stormbreaker" by: Anthony Horowitz

Unlike the movie (which sucked), the book was very entertaining. : )

Meet Alex Rider, the spy.When his guardian dies in suspicious circumstances, fourteen-year-old Alex Rider finds his world turned upside down.Within days he's gone from schoolboy to spy. After being forcibly recruited into MI6, Alex has to take part in gruelling SAS training exercises. Then, armed with his own special set of gadgets, he's off on his 1st mission.His destination is the depths of Cornwall, where multimillionaire Herod Sayle is producing his state-of-the-art Stormbreaker computers. Sayle's offered to give one free to every school in the country - but MI6 think there's more to the gift than meets the eye...

Imagine James Bond as a teenager, and you get the picture. This book is a YA novel, but it can be a lot of fun for adults as well. The series continues with: Point Blanc - Skeleton Key - Eagle Strike - Scorpia - and Ark Angel.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. **** If you enjoy action/adventure/spy novels, give this series a try.

Amazon.com Average Customer Review: 4 and a half stars out of five - based on 194 reviews.
