I came to the conclusion that I must have read this series before. There's no other explanation. I just have no memory of when I did that. Still an awesome read tho.
Great book, especially for kids. During the beginning and middle of the book, it feels a little bland at times. However, the last third of the book is a real page-turner. I really want to finish this series to see where things go!
I enjoyed this book as the characters and plots really came together and started creating some real tension as you root for the kids to find what they are looking for while also fleeing from all of the people and groups chasing them.
Read this book in an evening. I'm very glad that this book didn't disappoint me like book 4 did. Once again, full of action and adventures for Aiden and Meg, not to mention the reader. Looking forward to reading the next one.
The plot twists just keep coming, and this book delivers a few powerful ones, which I can't spoil. But suffice to say, one of them changes the kids' goal in a major way.
Otherwise, this is the same style as the previous books: hiding out, trying to get help from people who don't recognize them, running to avoid capture, and so on. One of the best moments occurs when Meg overhears a radio show badmouthing her family, and calls in to try to set the record straight. It actually results in her and Aiden getting a few allies who help them out later.
There's also two close encounters with the assassin - and a major revelation about him.
Not much more to say that I haven't said about previous books in this series, but this is one of the stronger entries.
The book I read was called On The Run #5 Public Enemies by Gordon Korman. To be completely honest, this was the worst book in the entire On The Run series. The book is literally 150 pages of the main characters going from montana to colorado and the descriptions are awfully boring. Like the rest of the series Aiden Falconer is my favorite character. Aiden is a character that is really outgoing he always saves the day an example of this is on page 6 when Aiden and his sister get pulled over by a highway patrol officer “ Ahh great Meg look, were getting lit up. How are we going to get out of this one Aiden. Here, i'll distract the officer with this flare, once i do i need you to step on it”. My favorite quote from the book is on Page 22 when Aiden says “ Let’s Disappear” this quote shows how done he's with being thrown into this criminal life and being on the run. My least favorite character is still meg she never does anything going back to page 6 She says “Aiden how are we going to get out of this one” She could have thought of something but she didn't and he's a really annoying character that i really dislike.
