Born to Run

it was so upsetting. I can't read that again.
This is a story about a girl named Ginny having a very cool but sloppy aunt. Everything was going fine until her aunt disappeared one day. Everyone thought that she passed away. Only Ginny still believed that her aunt was still out there somewhere. She found 13 envelopes that her aunt left for her so she could follow the steps, more like accomplishing a mission for her aunt. The envelopes were meant to be read one by one in order. In the first envelope, it told Ginny all the rules to follow and what to bring on her trip. So she ended up living in a guy's (Richard) house in England searching for an artist to give money to after picking up a package at a Chinese looking house in New York.

Sputnik Sweetheart - Murakami Haruki

This book is very emotional but confusing sometimes. It switches to different characters point of view sometimes without you noticing. This is a book you need to read twice or even more to understand its implicit meaning. Honestly, there are some parts that I don't understand even now. I've read the novel called "Norwegian Wood" from this author and it encourages me to read his next book which is this one. There were a lot of romance in this one and a bit of psychological elements which is mostly the same as his previous works. However I think is book is too confusing and difficult.

Even so, I think is is very successful as it gave the readers a lot of affects. Such as for the part where one of the characters was having psychological trauma and was suffering painfully, I as the reader could also feel the headache as I was reading through the lines of description and flashbacks. This book is okay but I think it will requires a lot of your patience if you are reading it.

Scorpia



This is the fifth Alex RIder book, and the fourth one I reviewed, so Ill get right to the plot.


It starts with Alex on a school trip in Venice, but secretly looking for 'Scorpia', by the last words of Yassen Gregovitch. Yassen also revealed another truth as he lay dying- Alex's father was an assassin. He manages to find Scorpia, he is almost killed, but manages to get away. He later manages to get back to them, and discovers it is a terrorist organization, which his ather, John Rider, worked for. He joins them, throwing all traces of the M16.


I like this book, it is the best 'Alex Rider' book, because of the complexity of the plot. I would rate it a 8.7/10.



Eagle Strike By Anthony Horowitz



Eagle Strike is the 4th book on the list for The Alex Rider Series, following from the book "Skeleton Key". This book contains various amount of action and adventure. The book starts of continuing from Skeleton Key therefore if you want to read this book and find out what Alex Rider is all about... You have to read the first book from the series. As I was saying Eagle Strike starts of with Alex Rider enjoying his time at the beach (at the south of France). Suddenly, without any expectation his old nemesis comes in a small boat with 3 of his bodyguards. Its only up to Alex to find out what this person is doing in a place like this. Is it because he is plotting some plans to destroy the world again? Or is it because he was here for a nice vacation especially if it's in the South of France. Read this book and find out what Alex Rider does after his relaxation.
