Max Ride - Schools Out Forever (James Patterson)

just finished this last night....pretty funny how we are reading the same book at the same time. now on to the 3rd book

I just got to the point where I found out the "supposedly" true identity of Anne. Will read more at lunch. Should be on book 3 by the middle of the week...

while reading, i thought these would make a good "big" budget movie.....found out last night they are filming one soon to be released in 2010

The rights for book 1 and 2 have been purchased and as you noted, hopefully Angel Experiment will be released next year. I\'m about 200 pages into the third book and loving it...

Not trying to be a dick here but aren\'t those "young adult" books? I am a big Potter fan so it\'s not a put down, just curious. Is Angel Experiment the 1st one? We have the series @ work and I figured I might give it a whirl if it\'s highly recommended.

It might be young adult, but it\'s pretty good. I would have to say that a lot of fiction and sci-fi novels fall into that category as well.

Ender\'s Game isn\'t young adult?

I first read it in middle school.

I\'d agree Potter and the Ender\'s series I was talking about on here before would both fall into that category.

Ender\'s Game is and Ender\'s Shadow is, but the rest of each series I don\'t really think are. Like I said it\'s not like I don\'t read these books myself, I was just wondering.

I didn\'t take any offense... I\'ve read pretty much every Star Wars series that\'s been out and a lot of that is really kids stuff, but being a Star Wars geek, I read it anyway...

I say they are, but their good books and keep you interested in what happens next. that\'s all I need

They\'re definitely interesting, but I think that it\'s more to do with the chapter size. One-three page chapters; 5-7 pages at most. King for the most part does the same thing.

I didn\'t really like this book - while it was entertaining, but got pretty lame after a while. OK, I get it - the guy is a prick and pompous as hell. He has some funny stories, but it\'s more a story to pick up and read here and there, not all at once. :shrug:

I started reading The Hitchhiker\'s Guide, I think I like it, it\'s a little odd and hard to follow at times, it seems weird just for the sake of being weird. He has a very interesting writing style I think it\'ll just take some getting used to. I\'ve heard so many good things about it, so I\'m pushing on.

That is one of the funniest series of books i have ever read.

And there is a plot.
