I had star a new book that is called Eagle Strike. This book is about a adolescent spy who is in following his enemy in France. Yassen, his Russian enemy, exploded a bomb that injured the an Alex's friends dad. The young spy followed his enemy into a boat where he is captured. Alex was told that to be free he will need to survive 10 minutes with a bull, he survived but when he finished the boat and Yassen where gone.
"He was a fourteen year old English schoolboy with sand in his hair and suntan. They will take a look at him and laugh"(Horowitz 16)I think made the principle character a teenager to catch young kid to read this book because they will compare their self to the main character. I also find it interesting that his enemy is a grown up and not a teen as him
"If he had been an adult approaching the boat, it would have been a different matter; the fact that he was only fourteen was the main reason he had been so useful to MI6. People didn't notice him until it was too late."(Horowitz 29)
With this quote the author illustrate the idea that being a kid is really good and not only for this reason but for all the creativity and innocence they have. I can tell that until this point the book´s theme is ´being a kid is the best thing ever´.
Final Ideas And Conclusions
This book has been better than the last one I had read and I am really liking it. Eagle strike had plenty of action and is it a book for adolescents. I can tell this because the main character: Alex is 14 years old. I really want to continue reading to discovers what will Alex do to find Yassen and what will happened to his friend's dad.
