Intro

During this summer vacaion 2015 I read the book called Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz. THis book is part of the Alex Rider series and it is in the New York Time´s best selling authors list. This book is one of the many adventures of Alex Rider, a teenager, who works as a spy for the brithish secret service; MI6. Basicly Alex is a fourteen-year-old working as a spy, risking his life and defiying death. The Alex Rider series are action-packed with lots of gunshots, explosions and full of details. Some lessons this books give are that you have to always do the imposible and that you can always do better than last time, this books are somehow inspiring and they help you see how other people´s life is.

Alex Rider is a fourteen year-old that lives in London, UK in the sector of Chelsea with his legal guardian Jack Starbright that takes care of him since his uncle Ian Rider died. Alex never met his parents, his father was killed in a mission for MI6 and his mother vanished suddenly, since then he lived with his uncle and then when he passed he lives with Jack. Alex has worked for MI6 since his uncle´s death and has done a missions all over the globe; Swiss Alps, Venice, Australia, etc. Also he has worked with many organizations like: MI6, CIA, ASIS and others. During his missions Alex has made a lot of enemies, some of them are: Yassen Gregorovich (who ended being his godfather and his father´s best friend), Damian Cray (famous pop star), Desmond McCain(exprofesional boxer and millionaire) and many others.  He has also gone undercover into terrorist organizations, like Scorpia, in which he was trained with the best assasin skills someone could have and also has gone undercover in government organizations that MI6 has suspected about, like Greenfields (GM crops specialized company). In his missions he has saved the world from complete catastrophes, for example the Stormbreaker computers. They were  suposed to be computers that would show images or video in virual reality and every school in the world would have one, but, Alex found out they would be used as bombs and destroyed them. That is one of his missions, actually his first. Alex has a very complicated life, because he has barely attended school because he has busy with the missions MI6 gives him, plus the recovery  he has to make after each mission´s wounds. Alex has defied death in all his missions, but once he saw the true face of death when he was walking from school to his house and got shot in his left shoulder, centimeters over his heart, by a sniper in a roof. There was when he saw his whole life go past him.
