Maximun Ride: School's Out - Forever -Patterson

This is the second book in the Maximum Ride series and it remains very true to the story as well as excitement level of the first book. BOOKLIST review states that this series is "An action-packed cross between Gertrude Chandler Warner's Boxcar Children and Marvel Comics' X-Men." I think that is a great comparison but they forget to mention that it is most definitely written for the young adult reader. Who else can appreciate how Max and her flock feels about no adults to "boss them around" and the fact they they don't have to until school....oops, until now.

Enjoy this one, I'm on the the next book

Maximun Ride: The Angel Experiment-Patterson

This story is an interesting mix of Science Fiction and Adventure. A group of genetically enhanced kids who can fly and have other unique talents are on the run from part-human, part-wolf predators called Erasers. Maximum is the leader of this group and feels responsible for their safety. The only problem is that she hears a voice in her head that is leading her directly back into the place where all their troubles began. Following this group as they search for answers about their pasts and learning how it will affect their futures makes for interesting reading. It is not so high-tech that if you usually steer clear of science fiction you wouldn't enjoy the book. It might be a good book to use as a spring-board into new types of genres.
