1. Right now in my book, the plot is just starting. Alex Rider is taking a vacation and says he doesn't want to do spy work anymore. He has just arrived at an exclusive party.

2. It is hard to say how I feel about the book right now because I have just started reading it and am not very far into it at all. So far, nothing has really happened because the book has just started to take off.

3. Again, it is hard to decipher a theme in this short amount of time I've had with the book. However, from the other books in this series, I have learned that the theme usually has to do with conspiracy and uncovering this through adventure of the book. Slowly throughout the books, more and more about what is being investigated is revealed until the truth is uncovered.

4. My favorite character in this book is Alex Rider. This is because despite his young age, he is able to take on responsibilities and challenges that most full-grown men would not be able to handle.

5. So far in this book, I have met 4 characters in this book. Alex, his girlfriend, and her mom and dad. Alex is my favorite character. I like her dad because despite attempts to try and kill him because of what he writes, he still continues journalism. Also, I liker her mom because even though she was sick, she encouraged the rest to go on to the party without her. Therefore, by default, Alex's girlfriend would have to be my 'least favorite character'.

6. I thin that Alex will run into trouble in the party and this will, at least in part, reconnect him with his past spying.
