In the novel Maximum Ride: Schools Out Forever, by James Patterson, the novel continues with Max and her flock head toward Washington D.C. to try and find answers about there past that they have no memory of.After had just escaping the clutches of the "school" the group is ambushed by Ari, who has rose from the dead, with his gang of flying erasers. After witch they must head to the hospital where there worst dreams had been realized, there secret has been discovered and is now open to the security agencies. Unlike the previous book , Maximum Ride : The Angel Experiment, the story is seen through both Max and Ari's perspective, so that we can peak in on the plot of the book and also learn of Ari's hidden feelings for Max, and how he wants to have max for himself and try to get her to stay with him. Along their way, Max and the others must be brought under protective custody by the F.B.I under custody of Anne where they must stay at her house and live there.As they spend more and more time with her, they come to like and think of Anne as their new parent like figure, Anne even files for an adoption for them. They then later get enrolled at a private school. While at the school, trying to fit in and get a feel for it, Max and Fang Find love with their new class mates. While at the school, snooping about is Iggy and Gasman, who find old news articles on there school and its corrupted ways. Along the way Max, gains an incredible new power. Meanwhile the cooperation, Itex plans to destroy the world and who to be the leader of the cooperation, Anne surprisingly,  someone with access to the F.B.I and the leader of Itex. With their goal in mind, Max and the others head toward Itex to destroy the cooperation from the inside.

In the previous book , Maximum ride :The Angel Experiment, Max had been the main character. But this time the two characters who stood out the most to me was Fang and Ari. In the previous book he was just this quite character who had stood in the corner and never talked, just gave the occasional nod or smile toward Max to confirm or deny something. But this time he was pretty social, He even started his own blog in the Book called Fang's blog, Witch turned out to be a real blog on blogger.com. If you want to go check it out then here you go. Its pretty cool how he actually talks like Fang inside of the book on his blog. In the book Fang stirs up things between himself and Max romantically. In the last book, Max had kissed Fang thinking that he was going to die on the beach after being mauled by Ari and a group of erasers. So now they have UN resolved issues. And Fang wants to get closer to Max and become and item with her, unfortunately Max dose not feel that way about him. Another weird love angel is coming from Ari. Ari and Max have always been arch enemies in this book, and now he's going to go and ruin that by wanting to be with her. The plot of the book is to capture Max and replace her with a look alike eraser Max and destroy the flock. Once Jeb and Ari had gotten a hold of Max they would kill her, but Jeb has no interest in that, so Ari was going to keep Max caged up and try to get her to like him. There are so many reasons why that is wrong, one is that Max is double the age of Ari, even tho he looks like a completely grown man. Another thing is that, that kind of sounds like what a rapist would do. Luckily, Max's flock can tell when something is up with her, and they expose her for the fake that she is. Ari's plan doesn't work out so well either, Max escapes and confronts the fake Max. After the epic battle between the two, Jeb tells Max to kill the copy because she is obsolete, and yet Max dose not. She spares the copy and flies away after destroying Itex.Kind of a weird love triangle?

Another book that i am currently reading is The contest, by Matthew Reilly. This book is filled with action and excitement throughout the whole book. Steven Swain is a leading doctor at a hospital, where a month ago gang members had come in trying to kill and opposing gang member. Instinctively, he fights the gang members punching one in the face severely and wrestling the other one for a gun. While the two wrestle for the gun, the gun discharges a shot into the members head and is killed. One evening Swain is at his house with his daughter holly and a ring around him is formed where he is teleported into a dark room, which turns out to be the public library. Before him appears a man in white named Selexin, who is his guide in the presidian, which is a fight to the death arena.Now Swain cannot escape the arena, and if he dose he has fifteen minutes to get back in, if he dose not, the watch on his wrist will detonate and kill him. Along the way he encounters big and strong aliens and meets a companion or two along the way to help him fight off the strongest contestant of them all, Bellos,with his previous generations winning three of the seven presidian. Bellos has cheated by bringing his hoods, dog like aliens, with him to eliminate the other contestants and the kranadon, the strongest alien beast in the universe, tall as twenty feet and the strength of thirty men.

spring break

I realize that probably a lot of people are going to be doing this but Im going to blog about spring break. Over the break i was supposed to be at hell weak practice for my swim team, the hardest week of them all, but instead decided to take mis girlfriend and her daughter with my brother and I to Yosemite Park. It took a good four hours to get there, i was asleep most of the way there so it was'nt as long as it was supposed to be. As soon as we got into Oakhurst, the town we stayed at, we checked into our rooms and then drove up to the park. Even before we got to the park itself, there was snow everywhere, i was so excited just to jump out of the car and nail my brother with a snow ball to his dome. It took about and hour to drive into the park, and as soon as we got out, we saw this pretty cool waterfall, i cant remember what the name of it was tho. After that we drom around for a while and then drove back to the hotel. And that was the end of day one.

The day afterwords we headed back and got out to do a couple of things that we had not had a chance to do. Such as, a snowball war. We went to this big open field still covered in snow and just threw a bunch of snow balls. My Brother teamed up with my dads girlfriends daughter, lily, and they attacked me! so i tackled ben to the snow. we then had lunch and i went back out. After i was completely done with playing in the snow, i was completely drenched in water from all my shenanigans , playing in the snow and what not. So i had to change into a pair of my dad pj's and a shirt of his and ride back like that. And we made a pit stop so i had to walk a good ten yards or more to a bathroom, where everyone could see me in those clothes. So then we got home and hung out there and then went home the next morning.

When we returned to Alameda i had to go to Friday hell week practice. and then i went to my moms house for the weekend, where i had to cut ivy off the side of my hose and paint. And it sucked because i had just got this new game that i had wanted, but right before i got it, my xbox got a E74 error message so i have to get myself a new one so i can play some cool new games that i have been waiting for awhile now. Hopely for my Birthday i can get one, if im lucky, or at least enough money so i can buy a new one. and then play all day every day! And what i mean is only on the weekend -.-

so in the beginning of our new book, ...

so in the beginning of our new book, Maximum ride : Schools Out Forever, Max and the flock had just escaped the school and are now are on there way to Washington D.C. On there way, they run into a group of an erasers with wings! not only are they strong but now air mobile. And who else to be in that group? Ari! witch is weird, since he died in New York. Like completely died. So after that fight, Fang gets this major wound in the side of him, bad enough that they had to go to a hospital, witch might just give away the fact to the doctors that this boy has a set of wings on his back. So then the doctors call in Max and she describes everything to the doctors, leading to her donating fang A butt load of blood since he can't take human blood.And then for the cherry of all events, the F.B.I come in to talk to them and get a possible lead on the guys who run the school and the institute. After their interrigations, Anne, member of the f.b.i. takes into her house for protective custody. Later after had having time to hang out at Anne's house,  Anne lets the flock know that they are going to be enrolled in a school, witch is pretty hilarious seeing how they are kind of mis-fitts who have not been to school one in there lives.While at Annes house. Max gets the ability to fly fives times as fast, so like a super boost of hers, allowing her to fly up to three hundred miles per hour. which is pretty cool, not as much as angel, but still pretty cool.

While at school, Max and Fang both have these love interest which in doing so they both get jealous of one another, earlier in the chapter, Fang falls for Max and She dosent do anything about it, not a date or talk or anything.While at teh school, the headmaster has in it for all of the kids, he thinks of them as nothing as trouble makers, even tho they hardly do anything. While Iggy and Gasman are snooping around, since they think the headmaster has it in for them, they head down to the basement out of curiosity. And find all theses files on the school and how it was closed down along time ago. And after that one of the teachers come to try and kill them. Actually kill them! So what does iggy do? what he's great at, making bombs. SO he sets of this big bomb. Later the headmaster calls in Max and he tries to kill her, She puches him and they all bust out of there. Most of the teachers turn out to be erasers. Jeb, Anne and ari show up at teh school and Jeb reveals the fact that Anne is one the people help run the whitecoats and such. Who wouldve thought that Anne, one of the nicest characters of this book to be on the side with the white coats. Im pretty dissapointed in her. And so they all just dash for the woods and just keep running and running, without a destination in mind, just so long as that it isn't near the erasers.

What do you guys think is going to happen next. I think that Max is going to head to where one of there parents are and try to locate them so that they have some sort of protection and a shelter for them to get back on there feet. let me know on my blog please.
