Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | High anxiety in deepest Peru
Frank Cottrell Boyce on Evil Star the second title in Anthony Horowitz's 'Poer Of Five sequence:
The book is ambitious in a way that puts most adult novels to shame - dealing with world poverty and globalisation without ever seeming worthy or didactic. But it is much, much darker than Alex Rider. The Power of Five comics will be less Tintin and more like the doomy, paranoid Watchmen or something by the Hernandez Brothers.
