Michael Vey 2: Rise of the Elgen

Michael Vey 2: Rise of the Elgen  

Richard Paul Evans=AWESOME

Yes I am back with another review for the second book following a #1 New York Times Bestseller written by THIS GUY...

Any who... His second book following Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 Evans brings us back to Michael, who not being able to rescue his mom at the first Elgen base enlist the help of his new friends in the Electro-Clan, electric and non-electric alike. Thanks to the mysterious "voice" they are flown to Peru in hot pursuit of Hatch and the other Electo children. As Michael's life gets more complicated those who wish to help him are put in danger and a secret only he and the readers know threatens to bury him in beneath it's weight. Michael Vey's story may just end before it gets a chance to begin.

 

This read was much more interesting and thought provoking than the first. It brought a new swing and sort of plot than The Prisoner of Cell 25 but I liked it all the same. The climax and "resolution" were as heart stopping as ever but unless you own all three books and can read them in quick secession the drama unfortunately dies because of the predictability of the plot. However, if on a long trip or needing a simple escape this book will give you a good read to remember.
