1) Mass Market Paperback Book School's Out - Forever (Maximum Ride, Book 2) by Vision. I was a pretty big fan of the first Maximum Ride book when I read it last year, but for some reason I never found the time to read the second installment until a couple weeks ago.
Well, I´ve finished the book, and I must say I am satisfied, although there were things about it that bugged me.

I very much liked the idea of taking the obviously abnormal Flock and having them put into a school (not The School, but a normal-or seemingly normal- public school). I thought they could do alot with that. The disappointing part of it is, when they´re just cracking the surface and you think the plot is going to expand on that, it completely stops, and the plot is restarted, with The Flock on the run once again.
What made the on-the-run factor The Angel Experiment work, was that we were never in one place long enough to think that this is where the plot will stay and where it could grow from there. The basic plot of The Angel Experiment was that The Flock was on the run, going place to place, and you got that.

With School´s Out-Forever, the Flock is at school for a little over half the book, then they´re on the run again for the rest of the time. That´s the problem. The back cover pretty much fools you into thinking that the whole plot was The Flock at the school, when it wasn´t.

[POSSIBLE SPOILER]At the end they´ret on the run again. That in itself is alright, but where the ending goes wrong is how it treats itself as some sort of grand finale, when it´s not.[POSSIBLE SPOILER ENDED]

Still, you can´t go wrong with this series; you love the characters and care for them every step of the way, and that´s what´s great about this series.

I´m still recommending it, but I very much find it to be unbalanced.¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book School's Out - Forever (Maximum Ride, Book 2) by Vision. This is the second installment of the Maximum Ride series, picking up right after The Angel Experiment. I would suggest you listen to them in order to avoid any confusion in the plotline.

Maximum Ride: Schools out Forever starts right where The Angel Experiment left off, continuing with the six genetically engineered children being chased by their main enemies, the Erasers, a wolf/human hybrid. Max, Fang, Iggy, Gasman, Nudge and Angle continue to evade the predators in each city they visit. Max continues to be plagued by the death of their main Eraser pursuer named Ari, who might or might not be her biological brother. She also continues to hear the Voice in her head, and is confused as to who or what it is.

Along the way, they meet a seemingly kind woman, who just happens to be a high-ranking FBI agent, who enrolls them in a normal school where Max feels as though she´s an outcast. Max and her fellow winged children end up releasing a bunch of other genetically altered animals onto the city, which doesn´t go very far, except they adopt a dog that Angel has become attached to. He seems like your normal, run-of-the-mill puppy, until he opens his mouth and talks! You will enjoy the story and become enthralled in narrator Valentina De Angelis´ portrayal of each individual child... including the dog! She did a beautiful job of putting emotion and feeling behind the key points in the story. I also enjoyed the sound effects and musing during the telling of the tale. The only negative thing about this listening experience was the music. I couldn´t tell if it was the end of the disc or the end of a chapter.

Overall, it was a wonderful listening experience!

Armchair Interviews says: Another good listen for Young Adults.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book School's Out - Forever (Maximum Ride, Book 2) by Vision. ok lets start here by just saying saying basic praise to Patterson. i have a couple things to say: it was a great book but really the preview of chapter 38(of #3) at the end just got me freaked, the way it was said that the kids were dreaming for the last 6 months. Was that true, or was a load of crud to readers? I myself think it was plain crud. let us know!

6) Mass Market Paperback Book School's Out - Forever (Maximum Ride, Book 2) by Vision. "Adventure, fighting, backstabbing and love abound" (VOYA) in this action-packed follow-up to the #1 New York Times blockbuster MAXIMUM RIDE: THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT, now available in paperback. The heart-stopping quest of six winged kids--led by fourteen-year-old Max--to find their parents and investigate the mind-blowing mystery of their ultimate destiny continues when they´re taken under the wing of an FBI agent and attempt, for the first time, to live "normal" lives. But going to school and making friends doesn´t stop them from being relentlessly hunted by sinister spies, who lead Max to face her most frightening match yet: a new and better version of herself.¤
