In this eagerly awaited follow-up, brave bird-kid Max and her flock are discovered by an FBI agent and forced to go to "school." There is no such thing as an ordinary day as Max deciphers how and when she's supposed to save the world, and she faces her greatest enemy--a clone of herself.

This flying flock of kids is still on the run in the second book in the series, and they never know who they can trust. In this book, they get a taste at normalcy as they go to live with an agent and are forced to...ugh...attend school for the first time!
The Maximum Ride series is always full of twists and turns, and you never know where it will take you. You would think that if I were reading a story about flying mutant kids, I wouldn't have a hard time "suspending disbelief". However it's the little things that I have a tough time with. For instance, this story has a scene where the kids are flying with a "flock" of hawks. As far as I know, hawks don't fly in flocks. They are solitary hunters and not social birds. So I had a really difficult time getting around this, and it remained a sticking point for me.
I enjoyed this book, and I hope to read the rest of the series. However I don't think that I'm enjoying it enough to want to buy the series. So at this point, I think that I will start using the library to read the rest of the series.

whoa! Nothing is ever what it seems in this book.
Firstly, Ari lives. Jeb (Ari's Father) doesn't seem to pay much attention to him but later towards the end, shows Ari, Jeb is proud of Ari for thinking of kidnapping Max to befriend her.
Ari still wants Max in a twisted way so he hangs out with Max II who is also an Eraser.
Max is now noticing Angel's changes. Angel now likes to use her mind controlling ways to "assist" the President of the USA, teachers, police officers, Erasers (only for fighting) and now announces, she wouldn't mind leading the group. Angel is only 7 yrs old. Her dog talks and she is becoming scary to Max and Fang.
Max still has the chip in her shoulder (literally) and finds herself drawn to Fang (her counter -art and partner in crime). It's because of Fang and Ari's fight, they rush Fang to the human's hospital where they are later met by FBI agents and particularly, Anne.
Turns out Anne was Jeb's boss all along after she takes them in, put's them in school and tries to give them home cooked meals and a normal life. At the Thanksgiving dinner, she announces "She wants to adopt them". After they find out she is Jeb's boss, they ran with the wind.
Max get's kidnapped by the scientist for further experiements and is replaced by Max II to her flock. Nobody notices the switch...or so Max II thought. The dead give away was when she offered to cook breakfast.
Fast read and fun. Next book...
