Hi Guys! After a long pause, here now is an update from me and it's gonna be a book review. Yay! This is my first time to post a book review since this blog was born (meaning since this blog has been active - like just 3 months ago), and I'm really excited about it because reading books is one of the many undefined interests of mine.
I hope I can give justice to my reviews. I mean I'm not an author (and I don't see myself being one), who knows a lot about technicalities of writing a book. I'm gonna do a review based on my reaction to the book as a reader, not someone who actually looks for some errors in writing and its technical aspects.
Being a "slight" bookworm myself (slight because I just discovered the wonders of reading books about 2 years ago), I have read a lot of books from genres like YA, fiction, fantasy, dystopian, etc., except for history, I think. The latest I have read is entitled School's Out Forever from James Patterson, I'm a fan.
This is the second book in the Maximum Ride Series. It follows the life of 6 kids who were mutated and turned into avian hybrids - mutant bird kids. All of them where kidnapped when they were little so they didn't know their parents at all. They have just escaped from the "school" which was actually a secret lab where they were being experimented on. Through out the story, these kids went into running from Erasers, who are made to destroy them if they ever escape from The School.
The story is told by Max (full name: Maximum Ride, clever huh!), the main protagonist and the leader of the flock. I just love how strong she is, although sometimes she gets tired of constantly just looking after the flock but she doesn't show it. She's so strong, fast, wittingly sarcastic, she seemed so indestructible but vulnerable at the same time. The other characters are pretty interesting too.
I enjoyed this book a lot. Although I know I'm a little too old to be enjoying books whose main characters are kids but hey, we all love good stories don't we? And this one was written intelligently in a way that even young adult can enjoy and not feel awkward about it. And who doesn't love a good fantasy? Of heroes, saving the world like "The Avengers" and stuff? (And Xmen BTW)
Have you read this book?

Brave bird-kid Max and her flock fly south on a perilous quest to find their parents, after having rescued Angel and recovered secret documents about their origins. But just when they think they've finally escaped the hungry claws of evil Erasers, they're discovered by an FBI agent and forced to face perhaps an even worse nightmare: going to school. There's no such thing as an ordinary day when Max's "homework" includes decoding documents, deciphering when (and how) she's supposed to save the world, and learning to face what may be her greatest enemy: herself. A clone. Max II.
