                Immediately Alex is rescued and taken to an hospital in Grenoble France. Good news arrive and doctors manage to save him from the bullet that hit him and he is OK, even though he is hurt the MI6 requires his help and Alex continue fighting. The MI6 then sends him out again but now with support, the SAS team of soldiers arrive to liberate all the students at Point Blank. In that moment Alex sees Wolf again, the chief commander in action of the MI6 and with all that help the kids are free, the only thing was that no one saw Dr. Grief and Mrs. Stellenbosch. Alex run to the Helicopter Station where he saw Dr. Grief already escaping and Mrs. Stellenbosch aiming ta him with a gun. Just as she is going to kill Alex for a second time, Wolf appears and covers Alex but three shots hit him, luckily Wolf managed to also shot Mrs. Stellenbosch and made her fall out a window to her death. Wolf was wound but Alex was OK so as soon as the helicopter is elevating Alex with a magnificent snowmobile manages to hit the helicopter and out Dr. Grief down. 

Alex arrives back to London and the MI6 tells him that all fifteen clones have been arrested. Alex was given long vacations, enough for him to revive himself for a next awesome mission.

SKELETON KEY

Dr. Grief falling down the heli

This book definitely is one of my favorite books until this moment. Action packed, good plot and many problems leading to a big problem is what made this book so good. After reading Stormbreaker (the first part of this series) I though that it couldn't get better than that, but Point Blank has really surprise me and I cant wait to start reading the next book, Skeleton Key. Alex is too much of a protagonist and the roll he plays in this series is well described and the author of this book, Anthony Horowitz, makes a very good job using imagery to describe the senses that Alex feels. I would give this book a 11 out of 10 and I would recommend this book to any person that likes action or to someone who doesn't like to read because this book makes you feel a love to read. 

Mystery Solved

            After several investigations Alex finally found some useful and good information. Alex wile wondering through the school, finds a basement jail in which many students are trapped, including James and Paul (Roscoe son). But how they were still upstairs and downstairs in the basement? There were replicas of each student and all the real students were trapped in this jail. Alex reveals his true identity to James and Paul and immediately calls the MI6 for help. Someone hears about Alex true identity and secretly tells Mrs. Stellenbosch (Dr. Grief assistant). Then she knocks Alex and leave him unconscious and handcuffed to a chair. Then Dr. Grief reveals his evil plan to Alex, called the "Gemini" Project that consists in destroying the world by cloning himself and the students trapped in the basement jail. Now everything made sense to Alex, he discovered that the death of Roscoe and Ivanov happened because they started to be suspicious of their son's behavior and that was a huge thread to the plan. But why only taking rich kids? Eventually after the death of their parents they would pass their inheritance and by them being clones all that money would go to Dr. Grief, making him the most powerful man on earth.

Alex uses his exploding ear-stud to escape the room he was locked in and starts snowboarding to escape Point Blank. Dr. Grief immediately sent guards to find Alex and kill him but with the rest of his gadgets he manages to escape but when he was almost out of town he reaches the roof of a train but there was already a guard locking his weapon to Alex and shoots him making Alex fall the train and notified as death. 

Students at Point Blank being Cloned

It is impossible that Alex is death. The book cannot end with Dr. Grief winning and Alex death, there is 7 more books that go after this one so definitely Alex is still alive in some sort. I don't know what to predict what is coming I suppose that somehow Alex is going to be saved since the MI6 is already notified with the problem and as soon as they arrive to Alex they are going to find Dr. Grief and arrest him. I cannot stop reading this series, I hope Alex can finish his job and arrest Grief.

The Arrival

            Alex finally arrives to the academy and the first person he meets in the founder, Dr Grief. Alex describes him as being an old, tall, elegant but mysterious men, since he had job to do he couldn't trust anyone. Later, on his tour in the convent he meets a guy named James Sprintz who later on would become his most trustful roommate. After a nice greeting Alex already had met almost all of the people in the campus, it was nice and tidy and you couldn't get lost inside. After a better introduction with his roommate James he gathers some very useful information. He told Alex that every kid in the academy were rebellious and disobedient and mischievously after a certain time they became complacent from day to night. This worries Alex since at the beginning he knew some kind of illegal scientist acts were going on so he started to get deeper with the case. James also convinced Alex to help him with a escape plan, even though Alex cannot leave the campus until the mystery is resolved, he agrees to help James.

It was midnight and Alex sneak out of his room to try to find some helpful information, but the only thing he sees is his friend James being forcibly dragged downstairs but when he entered his bedroom again James was already in it. Things were going crazy and Alex didn't knew exactly were he was going. The next day at breakfast James attitude towards his escaping plan seemed to change and Alex notices that James has become exactly like the other students. 

 

There is a lot of mysterious things going on in this part of the book, and there is still a big question mark on the deaths of Roscoe and Viktor Ivanov. Maybe there is a link with their sons attending the same institute but maybe not. I think Alex is going to somehow find the answer but with so much unexpected things happening I know it is not going to be easy for him to discover the truth. My best guess is that there is something involve with science and they are doing something wrong to this kids. But how can this connect to both deaths? It is complicated to have a good guess in this point of the book, but I am looking forward to keep reading this awesome book and maybe this awesome series. 

En Route to the Alps

           It wasn't easy for Alex to arrive to the academy as any other kid. To enter this academy you needed to be rich and have a name in the world. Alex Rider was now Alex Friend, son of the multimillionaire magnate, Sir David Friend. Alex now read his entire profile of his new identity and learns a lot of who he needs to preform when he arrives in the school. Happily the Friend's family receives Alex on their humble residence and here is when Alex meets Fiona Friend a beautiful girl the same age as Alex. Even though he has no time to get in love with someone because of his hard work, Alex minor feels something for Fiona but he doesn't want her to know, bu at the other side Fiona is in love with Alex and even tries to kiss him and made him uncomfortable in front of Fiona's millionaire friends. He was done at Sir David's house, bu there was something missing his gadgets to complete his mission. As in previous book, Stormbreaker, Alex is given incredible gadgets to complete his task and this time the main man Smithers shows up to the Friend's residence as a farmer and secretly delivers the tools to Alex that would later on help him to fulfill his job. He gives Alex: electric saw disguised into a Sony Discman, an mini grenade disguised as an ear stud, a bulletproof ski suit, infrared ski goggles, and a single-shot tranquilizer gun disguised as a Harry potter book.

At this point Alex arrives Point Blank and I guess this is where all the action starts I can wait to keep reading.

 When Fiona tries to kiss Alex, his reaction is very mean and in a way he insults Fiona.

Alex says, “No offense, but I'd rather kiss the horse.”

When I read this quote it caught my attention how Alex being such a good boy treats a girl this way. After analyzing this and thinking about why he did that I understood many things about Alex personality. First he has no time for falling in love, he is a MI6 agent and he cannot be falling in love because maybe the day after he can be death or never see that girl again. He cannot fall in love because Fiona doesn't even know Alex real name, as for now he is fake and he cannot show his identity to anyone.

Where it all Begins

         The book Alex Rider Point Blank written by Anthony Horowitz starts its plot right after the teen spy Alex accomplished his mission: Stormbreaker. After several examination Alex had been chosen as a new spy in the MI6 corporation, even though he is still young he has the necessary skill to fulfill his job and be part of one of the largest spy organizations on earth. 

        It all begins in New York, when multimillionaire Michael J. Roscoe is found death after an arranged assassination by a contract killer known as the Gentlemen. Alex is then assigned with a new job at MI6 and this time he has to investigate the mysterious death of Roscoe and another billionaire, General Viktor Ivanov who's body was found at the black sea. But what they have in common? Mysteriously both Roscoe and Ivanov son's attend the same school, Point Blank, an academy located in the french alps owned by Dr. Grief. 

       Alan Blunt, head chief of the MI6, immediately calls Alex for help since he is still a kid and can attend this school that links both assassinations and investigate what and who is behind all of this. 

  I'm definitely looking forward to reading this book. I predict that both kids involve in this case have something to do for the death of their fathers, maybe they made a mistake or they were involve in a much bigger problem. There is many things I can infer about what is going to happen, and since I have already read the first part of this series I know Alex is going to be involved in huge problems and this book is going to have a lot of action and fun events.
