Book Review- School's Out-Forever by James Patterson

School's Out - Forever (Maximum Ride, #2) School's Out - Forever by James Patterson

Max and her flock are still on the run when a new attack sends Fang to the hospital and into the hands of the FBI. An agent takes them into her home. Have they finally found a safe place for themselves with someone to care about them or is it a trap?

Another great installment in the Maximum Ride series. I actually liked this one a little better. The flock is getting older and having to deal with a lot more...budding romances, finding their parents, discovering new powers and figuring out who they can trust.

4/5

Book Review- Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1) The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

Max and her family have to return to the school they escaped from when the youngest, Angel, is taken from them. It is not a place they want to return to. The kids at the school are experimented on and turned into freaks of nature by uncaring scientists who only see them as test subjects and not as people.

So what makes Max, Nudge, Angel, Fang, Iggy and Gasman different?

They have wings.

Absolutely enjoyable book. Typical James Patterson style - short chapters, non-stop action right from the beginning, likable and interesting characters. This was a hard book to put down once I got started. Very fun, highly entertaining. I can see why it is liked by so many. This will make a great series for me to read this summer.

I know a lot of people have a problem with James Patterson's writing, feel that it is not good enough to warrant all the success his books get. I read classics, literary fiction, young adult fiction, and mass market popular fiction, all for different reasons. I know what I am going to get when I read one of his books- entertainment. It is all I am asking for when I buy a James Patterson book.

Once again, I have been entertained.
