Michael Vey 2: Rise of the Elgen

Written by Richard Paul Evans

Narrated by Fred Berman

Michael must save his mother—and protect his powers—in the electric sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Michael Vey, from Richard Paul Evans.

Michael was born with special electrical powers—and he’s not the only one. His friend Taylor has them too, and so do other kids around the world. With Michael’s friend Ostin, a techno-genius, they form the Electroclan, an alliance meant to protect them from a powerful group, the growing Order of Elgen, who are out to destroy them. The leader of the Elgen, Dr. Hatch, has kidnapped Michael’s mother, and time is running out.
     After narrowly escaping an Elgen trap, Ostin’s discovery of bizarre “rat fires” in South America leads the gang to the jungles of Peru, where the Electroclan meets new, powerful foes and faces their greatest challenge yet as Michael learns the extent of the Elgen’s rise in power—and the truth of their plan to “restructure” the world.

Reviews for Michael Vey 2

[Shoko Ekhaese · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

they changed the intro music. that alone takes one star.

[utbw42 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book had it's moments, I guess, but really was more of a bridge novel to future volumes of this saga. MV2 didn't have the emotional impact the first one did, which seemed to leave the plot a bit flat and thin, although, like I said, there were parts of interest that give me hope for future novels in this story. Word of caution: don't read if you are squeamish about rats.

I would recommend for ages 11 and up...a little scary if you know what I mean ?

Eh, it was okay. I just feel that the writing could have been a little less geared towards juveniles. Plot and characters are great, it's just the way it's done bugs me a bit.

[benuathanasia · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Such a mediocre, derivative books with stereotyped characters:The hyper-intelligent nerd who knows about every topicThe misunderstood bully-jockThe dumb but tough cheerleaderAnd lightning rats? Really? Someone has been watching too much Pokemon.
