I just finished the book Point Blank, and I really liked the whole book, but the ending was spectacular. I really like it because it portrays Alex, the main character, as being a regular boy who becomes a hero and saves the world. He calls for help when he finds the information he needs for MI6, but they don’t come, so he takes the matter into his own hands. He gets away without getting killed, but the teachers at Point Blanc, the finishing school, think that he died. Later, MI6 sends a SAS team in to save the trapped boys.
What I like about the book is that it is very interesting, and it is always exciting. I also like how the author, Anthony Horowitz, wrote about an average schoolchild, and turned him in to a secret spy who becomes a hero. Some choices that Alex had to make were whether to destroy the lunatic named Dr. Grief. He ended up destroying his helicopter and killing him. I would have made the choice not to kill him, but to catch him and keep him away from the world instead of taking his life. I have learned from the book that anyone can be hero no matter what age or gender they are. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10, and I would recommend it to everyone who likes action and excitement.
