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

School's Out - Forever by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads Synopsis:

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.

My Review:

Decent continuation. I'll admit that this round of events "the Flock" experienced did raise a lot of questions and it was starting to disturb me because the logical answer didn't fit into the story line. Then I remembered, this is a fun story, quit being so technical, and I was able to get back into things happily.

I admit, Angel is my least favorite character because she is unpredictable and a little selfish, which is a bad combination. I really like Iggy & Fang for their own reasons, which I don't feel the need to get into. I do like the rest of the Flock, but those two are my favorite.

I'm not one for angst, but I can feel some pull between Max & Fang, and I'm hoping things will develop naturally (especially for their age). I have also wondered why the story wasn't written to work between Max & Iggy, they are the same age. Is it because Fang is dark and mysterious or is it because Iggy is blind? I'm not sure, but will probably read on to find out.

Favorite Quote:

“Homework is a term that means grown up imposed yet self-afflicting torture.”
