Maximum Ride the Manga 2 by James Patterson (2006, Hardcover)

I have been a long time fan of James Patterson, and have his entire collection of books. The "Bird Kids" books are very interesting reading, and as usual Patterson has written another "page turner". If you choose to read this book, do not do so without reading the first three first, or you wont fully understand what Max is about. Certainly recommend any Patterson books, especialy his Alex Cross novels.

JAMES PATTERSON IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AUTHOR, HE HAS NOT WRITTEN A BAD BOOK!!I BUY EVERY BOOK HE HAS WRITTEN AS SOON AS IT IS RELEASED!!

Outstanding follow up to Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment. It follows the adventures of Max and co... Its fast paced, exciting, funny and touching. Its great for teens and adults alike. Ive been a huge James Patterson fan for years, though some of his recent work seems predictable. This book however was fresh and action packed. loved it.

He writes the greatest books ever. I buy them as soon as they come out. A good clean writer. I have read most of them and they get better all the time.

I love Maximum Ride:School's Out-Forever!!!!! It's charactors are so realistic, it makes you feel as if you know the charactors. I think everyone has a little bit of every charactor in them, so you can really relate to the charactors. Best book of the year!! Best book I've ever read, and I've read alot of books!!Totally recomend it to anyone 10 and up!!

What a wonderful book! This is the first of two wonderfully written books! Excellent for your teen or just for you! Patterson is a master when weaving his web through and through the book! You won't be able to put it down!

Absolutely great book as always from James Patterson. As always an excellent transaction through Ebay auctions! Book was sent quickly and received in excellent condition. Will definitely purchase again from seller if I get a chance!

This book takes you into the life of Max (a 14 year old girl who flies like a bird) and explains a lot of the background that was left out of the previous books. It is written primarily for teens but is a great read for anyone. Patterson has outdone himself with thrilling suspense and humor. A sequel is planned for next year.

The storyline is amazing. This novel is targeted at a young audience for an easy read and small chapters. Even though an easy read, the explicit imagery and consistent environment causes one to believe they are the characters. He brings them alive very well. This book focuses on their journey to find their real parents and discover who they truly are. Will they lose a member? Or will they continue to be a family themselves? I hope readers will attempt to read this.

The series is great. I was very happy that I won the whole series. James Patterson knows how to captavate the reader. I have read all of his books and now i am trying to get them all in hardback.

Wonderful book. Hard to lay down when you start, but I love anything James Patterson writes!! Great author!!!!!!

These kids sure know how to have a good time and get and stay out of trouble! Take the adventure into the 2nd book of Maximum Ride like it was your own. Fly into it and fly through it...James Patterson is a true author for ALL readers! There are flips and turns and powers of the young flying flock that will just amaze you into wanting to read more. I'm waiting for my turn to read the 3rd book. I can't wait to get into it!

I read the book in 3 days- I suggest you read part one first,but if you don't it is sstill a good read for all ages if you are into fantasy or sci-fi.
Great book

I loved this book, I have read the " adult" versions and find this one to be just as enjoyable . The author takes Maximum and the School and weaves a new story . Anyone who enjoyed The Lake House or "When The Wind Blows ,or it could be "Where the Wind Blows "( sorry Its been a while since I read it.) Will enjoy this too. The best thing is I can give it too my teenagers to read after me!thanks, Im buying Maximum Ride Schools Out Forever today!

it was very good handled and i loved it, very good shipping and fast. the book it self is very good, looks new and it suits me. thank you.

I can't wait to read them!!! I read the first one several years ago and found Max at a flea market. This should keep me reading for a few weeks. They sound so interesting.

This book can be read by any age. I enjoyed it throughly. It is a series of five books. I was hooked immediately and it was great to get them all on e-bay! After each book, I couldn't wait to find the next one on e bay. I would recommend all books by James Patterson.

Okay. After reading the first four pages of the first book, I WAS HOOKED. Now, this is my new favorite series (and I'm a 10-year-old boy who's read and reread Harry Potter at least 20 times!!). The characters feel real, (Kids, don't you just hate it when kids in books act like miniature adults?) the plot is great, and THE SUSPENSE IS MURDEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, HOLY CRUD!! It's like, some books start out, give you fifty pages to meet the characters, then the adventure starts. This book, you read two pages, and folks, let the exitement begin... and not stop until the end of the book. (The suspense is especially murderous if you've got a friend like me, who when you're on a sleepover with, randomly shouts out thinks like:
Suddenly, -ehhh- realized that -ehhh- -ehhh- had turned against us.
"-ehhh-? How could you??") (Poor Duncan.) This is a truly great book.

Note: Many people think that the MR books are sequels to When the Wind Blows and The Lake House. They're not. This book features a flying girl named Max who escapes from a place called the School. Most of the similarities end there.

By the way, I'm on Book 4 and Angel (still) creeps me out.

When my grandchildren started reading these books, I purchased them to be able to know what they were interested in, and got hooked. We now have a common interest and can discuss the stories which are simply fascinating. These books have no boundaries on age. I keep waiting for the next volume to come out so we can experience more thrills with Max and her entourage.

I love this series because it was something that my teen daughter and I could both read and enjoy together. After she read the first one, she was hooked on them. We are both waiting for the next one, and maybe this time I will get to read it first.

I recently purchased James Patterson`s second novel in his series: Maximum Ride Schools Out Forever. This novel is the genre science fiction. It deals with six mutant children who are 2 precent bird. They are on the run from Erasers, mutant wolf human, who want to return them to The School, (lab), where they were created. I highly recommend this adventure packed novel to young adults.

Ok, the truth is I'm not much of a reader. I don't read many novels but the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson is EXCELLENT! I read all three novels in less than a month! And I don't READ novels! LOL

The pace never slows down. NEVER. The short chapters help a bunch by being able to end each reading session at a chapter, no need to flip down page corners or use a bookmark.

I always wish that I can fly and while reading this series, I sometimes felt that I could through the eyes of Max & Fang. I imagined myself right there with them while flying with the birds of prey. Circling, diving, riding the currents, and dive bombing the ERASERS! How awesome is that?

Buy this series for your young reader or for your adult reader! Have some burn ointment on hand because you and/or your reader will burn their fingers flipping the pages, too!

Like anything that James Patterson writes, this book is very good for all ages. I read it, my aunt read it and my niece read it, all different age groups and all of us really liked it. It is fantasy and family, I really liked it.

An excellent read for both teens and adults. Rapid action, good writing and engaging characters make this a very enjoyable read. Be sure to read the entire series. It is thought-provoking and entertaining.
