Compare this book to a book you've read and enjoyed outside of school. Compare styles, topic, genre, etc.

Heat
Mike Lupica
Pg 50

Right now i just started Heat, by Mike Lupica. So far it is a book that starts out telling about the main characters. It tells stories about there lives and how they ended up to be who they are. I am comparing this to the book Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. The beginning of this book gets into Alex riders life story right away too. It draws you in and lets you know your characters right off the bat. The styles of these books start the same but are totally different. One is an action type book and one is a "comeback" type of story. They are both fiction books. This lets the book be more creative i think. Overall Heat is a good book and it keeps me reading when i have time.

  1. I haven't read heat, but I have read the Alex Rider stuff, and I was wondering if the plot is in any way the same or is it just the same in how the authors write the books and characterize?
