Alias: A Secret Life
By: Laura Peyton Roberts
Reviewed by: M. Jen

This book is a very good book. It is like the TV show, yet, still as exciting. Sydney Bristow is part of SD-6, which is part of the CIA. She is getting her first alias. She will be disguised as a rich tourist snob visiting Paris. It's her first at everything; her first mission, enemy, crush, and BIG mistake. A lot of things happen in this book; her crush is also disguised, as her husband. In the middle, they also find out that their hotel room is bugged. There is also another part when she gets caught by a strong man with a lot of muscles. There are many surprises in this story, and it makes the story very exciting.
One of the parts I liked was when she was finding out information on her new alias. I wish I could go to Paris as a rich snob but, it is also dangerous. There are many parts in this story when she was close to death. "Her final gasp of air burned in her lungs. In less than a minute, she'd have to breathe." That part was very scary, so I continued to read on. "Reflex would force her mouth open, and she'd suck down water instead of air." At that part I thought she was going to die, but I knew she couldn't because then the series wouldn't continue.
I don't like the part when her crush, Noah Hicks, gets mad at her. She was trying to hide when some bad guys came. She couldn't do anything else or else she would be killed. She just stayed there until they left, making Noah very angry and mad. After he got mad at her, he had a whole new perspective of him. Furthermore, her feelings changed for him. That part, in my opinion, was very sad to me.
My favorite part of the story is when Sydney gets to do a lot of things with weapons. This is what the CIA really is about and it shows you how dangerous it really is. I like how they talk about all the weapons she carries and how she has to wear all these tapes and microphones and guns! That part was very awesome and cool in my opinion. This is a very good book to read.

I enjoyed this much very much. It made for an easy read but with enough meat on its bones to be interesting. Highly recommended, I give it four stars.
