1. Right now in my book, Alex Rider has just been captured by the Snakehead. The leader of the snakehead was on a ship that Alex Rider was being transported on. The leader knew that Alex Rider was on the boat but was not able to capture him until he was on the mainland of Australia. While on the boat Alex finds a nuclear weapon that MI6 is looking for, he tried to call for help but help never arrived.

2. I really am enjoying this book right now because it is so action packed just like all the other Alex Rider books. I like how the author uses detail and explains what is happening at that particular moment and writes what the characters are feeling. This is really good because it makes it feel like you are in the book.

3. The theme in this book right now is Illegal Immigration because the whole point of Alex Riders mission is to uncover the snakehead who are transporting people illegally to Australia from Asia. I see this as the theme also because there is no real other theme right now in the book besides a little bit of a friendship theme.

4. My favorite character right now is Alex Rider. He is my favorite character because he is so smart. He is always able to outwit the opponents and do the right thing at the right time. Also he is able to make a decision in a split second. I also like him because he isnt selfish, he is always trying to help whoever is in need.

5. My least favorite character right now is Major Yu, the leader of the Snakehead. He is my least favorite character because he has no regard for human life, anyone that gets in his way is dead. Also he is so arrogant that he just seems like a bad guy, like he has no upside about him.

6. A prediction I have is that Alex is somehow going to escape the grasp of the snakehead and call MI6 or the Austrailians for help. I think that because up and till now Alex has been able to get out of everything that has been thrown at him.
