Stormbreaker

Book VS movie

Nerve-racking, cliff-hanging these are just some of the words that describe the tense movie and novel that is Stormbreaker.  This is an exciting book and movie that many people love.  It’s about a boy who is thinks his uncles death is suspicious little does he know he is about to enter a life or death situation at least when Sayle comes into the picture.

Characters

There are many characters in Stormbreaker, the main ones are the young spy Alex Rider, the man who started it Herod Sayle.  Other people in the book were Nadia Vole, Ian Rider, Allan Blunt, Mr Grin and many more. Involving  Sabrina was a smart move as it added more understanding and more interest.  Many people in the movie got there name changed such as Herod Sayle got changed  to Darius Sayle.

Similarities

There were many similarities such as the weapons like got the Nintendo, yoyo, zit cream though he didn’t get the pen in the book.  There were many other similarities like how Ian dies, Yassen Kills Sayle and Ian and he gets put in a jellyfish tank.  There were lots of similarities yet there were almost as many differences as well.

Book

I think the book was better than the movie as it gave more detail and made you use your imagination.  When you watch the movie you don’t use your imagination.  That is why I think that the book is better.

Highlights

My favourite part was when he is in the jellyfish tank and he uses the zit cream to eat through the metal and the jellyfish goes flying out and Nadia Vole gets killed.  There were many good parts of the movie but another one of my favourites is when Nadia Vole goes to Alex’s house and attacks Jack, it is really funny when Nadia Vole gets the puffer fish in her hand.

Stormbreaker is an awesome book and movie and I would advise it to anyone who likes action and adventure movies.
