This book made me feel like I wanted to become a spy and help Alex Rider. In this book Alex is sent to an academy on a mountain in France. It is called Point Blanc and Alex is disguised as a person called Alex Friend, the son of a very rich man who is sending his son to Point Blanc because he needs help mentally. Really David Friend the rich man knows whats happening and is only pretending. When Alex is at Point Blanc he discovers a horrible secret. The principal Dr Grief and his second in line Miss Stellenbosch are up to no good. They are planning to take over the world! How? Well, they were making second models of all the boys at Point Blanc academy and then replacing them. Alex was the last to be copied and that gave him time to realise what was happening around him. He has to escape but of course there is only one way out and that is down the huge mountain and that is almost impossible. But Alex's friend Tom helps him and suggests taking a snow board down and Alex does exactly that except with the lid of a coffin. In the end he makes it and is safe with only a few broken bones to add to his collection. He is equipped with tools which are again provided by Smithers. He gets an earring that explodes as the man he is disguised as has his ear pierced, as well as a book with a dart in th spine which he uses very stupidly and without thinking, a necklace that is a tracking system so MI6 can help him out but they never come, and a map of Point Blanc. I highly recommend this book.
