Max is back with her amazing adventures and breathtaking rhythm, and I'm overjoyed.

James Patterson has a natural talent for writing for young readers. His short sentences, few descriptions, and plenty of action make the story engaging.

Max, the main character, is a unique and fun personality. Despite being only fourteen, she acts older due to her difficult life and genetic mutations.

She has her own problems and existential crises, but always manages to rise up and face her enemies. The chapters are short and sweet, and the story has a great plot with fast-paced action scenes and a touch of science fiction.

Although sometimes Max's life seems a bit too easy with the powers and situations that arise, it's important to remember that this is a book for adolescents.

The only flaws in the book are the translation, which could be better, and a few spelling mistakes that slipped through the review.

Overall, I loved the idea of featuring national blog opinions alongside international newspaper comments. I can't wait for the third volume of the series, and I'm already saving a place for it on my bookshelf.

It's a book full of adventure and action that will delight young readers.

It keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly guessing and wondering what will happen next.

The author has done an excellent job of creating a captivating and thrilling narrative that hooks you from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the very end.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read with plenty of excitement and surprises.

Given what I have read since I first read this book as a teenager, I truly expected it not to have such a profound impact on me. However, the angst of maxfang??? It is absolutely hitting me hard. The jealousy??? It is off the charts. As for the plot??? I can barely recall the finer details, yet I still find myself completely intrigued. So what if my reading speed has increased and I am finishing these books super fast? I am literally having so much fun! I have missed these characters, this world, and this story. And I am THRILLED TO BE BACK.

(Reread)

*except the red haired wonder, she can go bye bye.

I remember vividly the first time I picked up this book. It was like opening a door to a whole new world. The characters seemed to leap off the pages and into my imagination. Now, years later, as I reread it, I am once again沉浸 in that same magic. The maxfang angst adds a layer of depth and emotion that I had not fully appreciated before. It makes me feel for the characters on a whole new level.

The jealousy is palpable and adds an element of drama and excitement to the story. It keeps me on the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen next. And although I may not remember all the intricate details of the plot, the overall story still manages to captivate me.

I am so glad to be back in this world, with these characters. It is like reuniting with old friends. I can't wait to see where the story takes me this time around.

This is a great continuation from the first book.

I wasn't really certain about the direction the book would take initially. However, I really liked the fact that the story kept me guessing throughout.

The author did a wonderful job of creating an atmosphere of mystery and anticipation.

Each chapter brought new surprises and twists that kept me engaged and eager to turn the page.

The characters were well-developed and their relationships added depth to the story.

Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable read that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed the first book or is a fan of this genre.

I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us in the next installment.

This might be top 3 of the series.

It could potentially be one of the very best in the collection. There are many reasons why it might hold such a high position.

Perhaps it has unique features or qualities that set it apart from the others. Maybe it has an engaging storyline or captivating characters.

It could also be that the production value is top-notch, with excellent visuals and sound.

Whatever the reason, being in the top 3 of the series is no small feat.

It means that it has been recognized for its excellence and is highly regarded by fans and critics alike.

Whether it will ultimately claim the top spot remains to be seen, but for now, it is definitely a contender to watch.

This second volume truly brings the intensity, action, and fun that made the first one so great. It has me eagerly anticipating the third one, which should be arriving at my local library soon.

However, there were some elements of unnecessary language that prevented this volume from receiving a perfect score.

EDIT: Thanks to my local library's Libby app, I was able to rediscover this old favorite. The Maximum Ride series is typically filled with action and intensity, and this installment is no exception. While I recalled certain moments, there was a significant amount that I had forgotten, including some rather surprising details. As enjoyable as this volume is, I remember the next one being an absolute blast. I'll definitely have to revisit that one in the near future.

Overall, despite the minor flaw of the unnecessary language, this second volume of the Maximum Ride series is still a great read that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. It's a must-read for fans of the series and those who enjoy action-packed adventures.

I can't wait to see what the third volume has in store for me and to continue following the exciting journey of Maximum Ride and her friends.

This series has truly been outstanding thus far. Each installment seems to build upon the previous one, creating a captivating and immersive world for the readers. The characters are well-developed, with their own unique personalities and storylines that draw you in and make you care about what happens to them. The plot is engaging and full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat, eager to find out what comes next. The writing style is also very enjoyable, with vivid descriptions and a flowing narrative that makes it easy to get lost in the book. Overall, I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good read. Whether you're a fan of fantasy, adventure, or just a great story in general, you're sure to find something to love in this series.

This is a rare instance where the second installment is even better than the first.

I really like how the story is evolving and the different events that the characters find themselves in.

It's truly engaging and keeps me on the edge of my seat.

However, I must admit that I don't know if it's because I'm older than the target demographic, but good lord, I want these kids to have an actual trustworthy adult to help them.

They seem to be in such desperate need of an adult figure in their lives.

It's almost painful to watch them struggle on their own without any reliable guidance.

Hopefully, as the story progresses, an adult will step in and provide the support and assistance that these kids so badly need.

Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying this story and can't wait to see what happens next.

Well, I completed this book in approximately four hours. So, it's by no means a tiresome read.

In "School’s Out—Forever", Max and her gang have returned, and they are more chaotic than ever before. It might seem reasonable to assume that with such a quick read, the plot would be straightforward. However, in reality, quite a significant amount of events took place. Patterson's writing style, combined with absurdly short chapters, made the book extremely fast-paced. This, without a doubt, kept my attention throughout.

I found most of the characters to be quite endearing. Nevertheless, constantly being reminded that their ages range from only 6 to 14 is rather jarring. The main driving plot, on the other hand, is somewhat uninteresting. Saving the world? Scientists being bad and kids being good? Ehhh, not overly original—but still entertaining to read nonetheless.

Overall, it was an okay read that had its moments of excitement and charm, despite its flaws in the plot department.

First, let me start by saying that the description above is misleading.

Out of the three things it described this book to be — the “scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel yet” — the only one I agree with is “strangest”. And I don’t mean that to be a compliment.

James Patterson is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve read quite a few of his books. There are quite a few that I would rank higher in the “scary” category. And as far as humor goes, I would even rate his Women’s Murder Club series higher in that category. Patterson tries really hard in this series to be funny — to the point that it becomes obvious that he’s trying too hard. A lot of the lines that he believes would be appealing to young teens came off as lame and, quite frankly, annoying.

Here are a couple that actually made me stop reading in order to write them down because they were so atrocious to me:

“Dean looked at me, I dunno, as if a hamster had just snarled at me.” ~Page 39

“The agent guys had come in with some, like, yoga mats for us, and they weren’t bad.” ~Page 50

“After that I gave them candy bars and they looked at me as if I’d just given them — Uh . . . Candy bars.” ~ Page 304

Maybe it’s just me and my pickiness, but I really can’t see these sentences appealing to anyone, even teens. Sure, it fits with Max’s character and gives her a personality that can’t be ignored, but it’s unfortunate that Patterson couldn’t find a better, less distracting way to do that.

Other than the language, the book was good. It was full of Patterson’s famous plot twists and surprises, and there were a few scenes that were actually quite touching. There were also some action scenes that impressed me quite a bit. The book is fast-paced, and highly entertaining. Patterson answers a few questions from the first book, but he also brings about a whole new set of questions — something that will keep me reading this series. Even though the language annoys me, I have to admit that I am attached to the characters and am curious as to how their adventure turns out. Though, I think it’s necessary for me to take a break from Maximum Ride and her flock for a while.
