This volume, like the first, was awesome! It kept me entertained I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I've read the novels and really liked them, but it's nice to be able to put faces to the text.

received this couple months ago.
but heck
it never fails to impress me!!
by the way volume 1 and 2 equals the first book of maximum ride series
Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Loved this one too. Just noticed that #3 is out. Putting it on the wish list. Guessing there is no end to this.

This is a great book if you love Maximum Ride and manga! It's even pretty good if you just love manga. The pictures are excellent. It dosen't go into details that much, but you get the picture! I, in fact, liked it a tiny bit better than the first one. I loved when the flock got their makeovers! I read the whole thing without putting the book down in two hours. I mean, it's not a super-fast read, I just read Maximum Ride really fast! If you're a beginer at manga (like my daughter) then you could use this book for some examples of facial expressions and anatomy and stuff like that. So, anyway, it'a a great book!

My son really likes this Manga book. (and volume one also) He's 15, if that helps anyone to know. I didn't hear any complaints and he is waiting for the 3rd volume to come out now.

Very great book. It arrived in great condition and in good time. I'm very pleased.

The kids have escaped their cages from Vol. 1 and are hiding out, trying to recover. They've saved Angel and are all together once again. But soon Max starts to have bizarre headaches and a voice convinces her that they all need to head to New York City to find the Institute of Higher Living.

The children reach NYC and are amazed at the city spread before them. The voice inside Max's head encourages her to experience some fun. What that means, she doesn't know, but she follows the voice's direction. The kids find themselves on a bus stopping in front of a toy store. While in the store, they learn of a new power Angel has acquired: she's able to manipulate people with her thoughts.

But no matter where the kids go, the Erasers always seem to find them. They can't seem to get a decent night's rest, nor a good meal. Cops even force them out of the high tree branches in Central Park, alerting them to the fact that the signs say no climbing the trees.

When they finally discover the Institute, what they find inside is beyond surprising. The discovery creates more questions than it answered. With clues in their hands, the kids head off to learn their beginnings....in Vol. 3.

The artwork and storytelling in Vol. 2 is just as appealing and beautiful as was found in the first volume. And as with the first work, readers do not have to know the full story to understand the action that is going on. The graphics do a wonderful job of revealing the plot and the action at just the right pace.

Anticipation is already building for their next adventure in Washington, DC.

Excellent book. My daughter absolutely loves the series and has read and reread each one. She anxiously awaits the latest in the series.

I"ve read some pretty intense material in my life but for this novel to be intermediate borderlining young-adult, its pretty hardcore-In a good way though!. Here's what I mean by hardcore; as it turns out angel and gazzy were sold to the school by their own parents for only god knows what in return. I was also suprised that James would have them all homeless in New York which is actually a much more disturbing area to be abandoned in than any other part of america, Especially if your under 16. But I really, really like this volume it seems as though they get more and more interesting and exciting as they come. Now this is not i repeat NOT A SPOILER ALERT! I am just giving my opinion about how this novel next to Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead is some pretty serious stuff. I especially enjoyed the writing. When I first read the book I was actually just expecting it to be another X-Men knock-off but boy was the joke on me! lol! The series has got the same light-hearted action as you would recieve from all the other Marvel mutant comics and with the same amount of depth which I think is a perfect balance: Not too serious but on the same note not too peachy/sparkly typical Manga. Another comment about this book... The outfits they wear are FLY!!!

Seeing the main character of this book look so girlish threw us for a bit, but my son said when he got his hair cut, he looked more masculine.
