Well, this book was sort of a let down for me. When i picked it up, i was expecting it to be a little thicker than what it was, but it still packed a lot of stuff in it. I sort of felt that it was pretty rushed. I felt that things just didn't stop happpening. Also another "villan" was introduced and killed all in the same book. It leaves me wondering what else would happen in the next two books. (I have the Fifth one ready to read! but i think i'll read misguided angels by Melissa De La Cruz first.
Well, first off the first thing i remember is that Max and the flock are all attending Ari's funeral. It was really sad. Jeb was there too! It was interesting to see this at the beginning of the book. I felt that i would have been much sadder if the author went into much more detail, but this part still left me a little sad. Not full blown crying, but just sad. Then the next thing that i remember was Max being carted off in a Jet ready to have a meeting with the bigwigs of america!
Nudge develops new powers. She is "magnetic". At least her hands are. She was sitting on the jet playing with her new power. When they got to the White House they had their meeting. The goverment officials wanted to study the flock in exchange for the government protection and education. Max was not buying into any of that (You go girl!) She and the flock jumped out a window and flew off.
They rested in a forest. There, Fang descovered a new power! (what were his powers before anyway??) If he held still and quiet, he could basically blend into the background an become sort of invisible. Then, The flock was going to Argentina. They were supposed to help a team of scientists who are studying global warming and Antartica. They got onto another jet! Then they got onto a boat. THere, Total met Akila. Akila was the boat's mascot. A while malemute. Total fell head over heels----- or should i say paws for her! I felt like it was just an obsession. Like Total was obsessed with Akila. I guess i'll have to wait to see how their "relationship" plays out. But TOTAL IS GROWING WINGS!!!! They aren't big enough for him to fly in this book yet.
In the boat ride, Fang gets attatched to the Doctor. Bidgid. Max gets jealous. In Antartica, one of the scientists gets attacked by a seal! Then they all find out that she was a spy! for some dude named Uber DIrector (what kind of a name is that?) He was bascially machine. All his internal organs are stored in a tank with his head on top. He's basically a bunch of building blocks. THese tanks are clear btw so a person could totallly see what was inside... GROSS RIGHT??
Also, in ANtarctica, Angel discoveres a new power! (well maybe not in antarctica... i just don't remember when!) She can change her appearance. So far, she can only do a bird girl (not what she is, but like a bird of paradise, she'll grow feathers all over and stuff like that. And she can also do another girl. Idk what she looks like with that one.
Angel wanted a baby penguin as a pet. Max wouldn't let her. Then one day, Max noticed that Total, Angel, and Akila was missing. Turns out that Angel and them were all following a clan (what are penguins called in a group?). THEY FELL INTO A CREVECE! Max and Fang go looking for her. THey find her and decide that they should wait by building a snow cave. IT was getting really wacky in the snow cave. Max decided to punch out a hole for more air, because that could have been a reason why it was wacky. Then they get captured and taken to a building in Miami! (Gassy, Nudge, and Iggy were in the plane captured too!)
Turns out Uber director (UD) wanted to auction them off to powerful leaders of the world. A big huriccane was going on outside. Stuff happened (i don't think it's important) and then the UB and everyone else was caught in an even bigger hurricane! The glass in the building shattered! The flock made their way to the hallway. Then the glass at the end og the hallway broke. Winds rushed in and Max made everyone open their wings a little. Then they were airborne, flying to the other end of the room and out the window. The flock still can't open their wings all the way, or else they would be ripped off by the over 100 MPH winds! But they were flyingish....
Made way to eye of storm. Saw UD being carried by the winds outside of eye. Max decided to take away the frankenberry jerk (Gozen who was the one who captured the flock). WIthout frankenberry jerk holding the UD togeather, the UD shattered into many pieces and "died". Then they all waited out the storm... more stuff happens.
Then Max makes a speech with congress. more stuff happens. Max and the Flock goes to the opening of the school they are going to go to. THe VOICE in Max's head interupts and they fly off yet again!
Sorry i was so vague about the stuff happens. I didn't really want to go into much detail. It's just the fact that so many things happened in this story. It really should have had more chapters that go into more depth. I felt it was just quickly written. It could have been better. It was just a dissapppintment overall.

Maximum Ride #3: Saving the World and Other Extreame Sports
First off, A LOT of things were confessed and taken back in this book. It was sort of confusing at times, but at the end i managed to figure everything out ;) I enjoyed this book! It was one of my favorites, except for the fact that Angel was EVIL for some of it. Even though she wasn't really evil, she was pretending to be evil! I was actually convinced that she had turned evil! Which brings me back to Fang's e mail tip about one of them being a traitor. I knew it was angel when i read that, but i never expected it to be an actual plan of Max's.
Also, I was not prepared for the guys splitting up. I knew that Fang was against Ari, but he and Max obviously have a thing going on. I didn't expect them to leave, and even when they did, I didn't expect them to split by gender. Also, I would like to point out that Max is right. Iggy is a sexist pig! They're on a beach. Fang is trying to make plans and all Iggy wants to know is what the girls are wearing and doing!
Also, Didn't expect Fang's blog to be as helpful as it was. I couldn't believe that all those people, CHILDREN, were attacking the grown-ups! I'm so proud of them :) Maybe i should write a blog entry in NINJA INCORPERATED! about that.... I think i shall... but maybe later. Anyway, back to the story. This book was just full of stuff. I'm glad that Dr. Martinez and Ella were actually the mother and sister to Max. She deserves something right in her life. I just don't appreciate the fact that Jeb was her father and that they decided to just have her for the sake of the world. It would have been better if they actually had feelings for each other besides just having Max so that they could experiment on her. I also was kind of sad that Ari had to die..... I was sort of hoping that the expiration dates didn't actually work.... I want all of the Flock members to live out full human years.... I bet Dr. Martinez and Jeb wouldn't be very happy with their choice if they found out that their daughter would only live to be like 24 when she could have lived to 90+ being a regular person!
Lastly, I kind of cracked up when the Director of Inex said that she was part Galapagos Turtoise! I love those animals (poor lonely george... the last pinta island galapagos turtoise....) I was kind of shocked when she said that.... I wasn't hoping for that, i was hoping for her to snap out wings too! Or at least grow claws or something dramatic like that, but no it just had to be a galapagos turtoise!! Well i guess it was an advantage to the flock, but when she lives to be OLD and i mean really really OLD then i bet Max will be sorry for not killing her.... she'll cause a lot more pain! (shouldn't have pretended to be Max's mother.... She should have gone SPLAT!!! instead of being saved by Max and Nudge)
*Working on my punctuation and capitalization of the letter I <-- see!!! :) and capitalizing names.... I'm not good at that... I'm so used to Microsoft doing the capitalizing for me

(NON OFFICIAL!!! just randomness) Saving the World and Other Extreame Sports
That was such a long title to type. I am currently reading this book!!! I don't think i'll do another chapter by chapter thing. It took way to long! Doing Torment was almost torture, althought i did enjoy going through it again. But for Maximum Ride, there would just be too many chapters! I am on Chapter 74 of Maximum Ride!!! 74!!! CHAPTERS!!! Do you know how hard that would be to type out what happened in EACH and EVERY chapter!!! tHAT WOULD BE EXTREAMLY REDUNDANT AND TIME WASTING...... oppsies, had caps lock on, but it worked well to the effect of what i was saying!!! Oh well, I'll finish Maximum Ride soon enough and have up a short sort of summary....
I just noticed that most of my book summaries are just my reactions, I don't really give anything away... on second thought, i give random things away that would not even add up to anything important! It would be hard to not give anything away. The only way to not give anything away is to just post the regular book summary! Have you noticed that it is just very very very very vague! I hate those, I want something that would give away a little bit more than the regular book summaries that they give inside the book jackets or on the back of books!
Like, I had to get Misguided Angels by Melissa De La Cruz again, because i couldn't remember if i read it already or not. If the book summary gave away a little bit more, I would not have had to carry another book home from the library! All it's doing is taking up space!!! Oh, and i also got I kissed a Zombie and I liked it by Adam something, I don't know, But i was surprised that it was not a thick book. The boo summary made it seem like it would be an extreamly long book, at least a little bigger than what it was. Another one also surprised me, but i don't remember what the title was... It was a very interesting experience!

Maximum Ride #2: School's out--- FOREVER!!!!
Three finished posts in a day! How amazing is that? I think it's super amazing! Well i just finished reading the second book in the Maximum Ride series. At first i didn't think that i would like this book, that it wasn't worth it's hype. That's how i felt about twilight too, but i ended up loving it! (book is WAY better than the movies, the movies can NEVER get it right!)
This book was pretty good though, so was the first one. Every single time the Erasers showed up i wasn't expecting it, at least not in the first book, but in this book i wasn't expecting Ari's brain to be as twisted as his was. He apparently loved Max, but wanted to freaking kill her?! Or cut off her wings so that she would be forced to stay with him and become her friend.... But the little boy from Splash Mountain surprised me too, didn't expect anyone to like Ari.
Also the Erasers with wings was a huge surprise!!! and the other Max.... not expecting that either... there were so many things that changed, so many things that i wasn't expecting at all! And it was so very entertaining that i finished the whole book today, It only took like 5 1/2 hours, but still! It was so worth it!
Now i don't have another book to read! No book for tomorrow, but i might be going to the library tomorrow, so it won't even matter, but still!!! I won't have one early tomorrow though...
Speaking of going to the library, I need to go look up some books so that i don't have to spend all day at the library trying to decide what to read! :) I'm so glad i got back into reading, I missed it so much! But I was occupied with Alan... but still in the beginning of our relationship i could still read, but then i got more into alan and less into books! I'm glad i can balance both now. Reading will always be a part of my life! :)
