  What's the hook? Packed with action and offbeat humour, Point Blanc captivates readers of all abilities. What are the themes? Violence for political goals, more dilemmas and the misuse of science. Teaching points? Vivid descriptions, convincing dialogue and cinematic sequences offer opportunities for modelling and storyboarding. An excellent model for introducing irony and parody.
