The Cardturner

In Louis Sachar’s novel The Cardturner a 17 year old boy is thrust into playing Bridge with his rich granduncle Lester, a card game he finds completely boring on his mother’s insistnce.  Within just a few hands Alton finds he is in love with the game. The wonderfully pieced together story not only inspired me to want to take up bridge but also taught me that you can do anything you set your mind to. I was reading into the early morning and in every spare minute I had in class (not to mention the ones that I took). You’ll find yourself in a whole new realm of reading once you put The Cardturner in your hands.

Alex Rider: Storm Breaker

The book that I read was Alex Rider: Storm Breaker.
I thin k that this book was okay. The reason I think this is because I have also read some of the other Alex rider books and they are pretty much the same. They all follow the basic format. First Alex gets in trouble at the beginning of the story. Then he gets contacted by the MI6 and gets briefed on the mission and gets his gadgets. After that he does his mission. Then the bad guy usually gets killed or arrested. This is why I thought it was okay.
