          3 out of 5 stars Only good for before trip study, not good for actual trip.......2005-04-11

          Okay, I bought this book with another one from DK (for Canada) to go to Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and Niagara Falls. I was attracted to the detailed description of the history, different districts in Montreal etc.

          As it turns out, don't expect this book will help during the trip. It is only good for the background materials, the real hardcore touring part...it's a disaster for us.

          We first arrived in Montreal, and found we had a hard time locating the actual tour site descriptions in the book. This book do it in a very "romantic" way, we had to read an entire paragraph to see the site we want pop up somewhere, and that's about all we can find. There's very little information about the actual site's hours, location etc. And it does not offer a detailed map for the main tourist site: Old Montreal. In the end, we had to use DK for the entire trip.

          It's a pity that this is not a practical book. If somebody wants to know more about these cities, this will be a great book. However, for actual visit, I'd suggest just leave it at home.

          5 out of 5 stars Travelers best friend to Montreal and Quebec.......2001-06-13

          Gives needed insight along with great photographs from both Montreal and Quebec City. Extremely helpful for planning your stay with information from history of region,places to visit,helpful maps of area,attractions,where to stay or eat,plus much more. Even helpful in all aspects of planning your trip from telling you what tobring and wear,entry regulations, money matters,public holidays,ect.

            Purchased this paper back used for research on visiting Montreal and it has many good tips and advice. Great price online.

            5 out of 5 stars Very informative, and extremely helpful.......1998-11-11

            Tells you everything you need to know about Montreal, it's past, it's present. Helps you have a better understanding of the French-Canadian way of life, their language, their unique culture, as well as the faces of Montreal's newest settlers, the immigrants from Europe and other countries. The book itself helps you grow an "attraction" to Quebec and Montreal in particular. I highly recommend this book!!

            4 out of 5 stars perfect for tourists and people who already live there........1999-11-15

            I read the book because in the beginning of 2000 we are going to move near Vancouver. At first I found it so frightening to take such a step but after having read the book it is like I already know it quite well and it does not feel like such a strange place anymore. Looking forwards to it more then ever thanks to this book!

                        James Patterson shifts high action into overdrive in this eagerly awaited follow-up to his #1 New York Times bestseller. Brave bird-kid Max and her flock fly south on a perilous quest to find their parents, after having rescued Angel and recovered secret documents about their origins. But just when they think they've finally escaped the hungry claws of evil Erasers, they're discovered by an FBI agent and forced to face perhaps an even worse nightmare: going to school. There's no such thing as an ordinary day when Max's "homework" includes decoding documents, deciphering when (and how) she's supposed to save the world, and learning to face what may be her greatest enemy: herself. A clone. Max II.

                        4 out of 5 stars Better than the first.......2007-10-01

                        The second installment in the Maximum Ride series allows for the characters to grow in a way that wasn't possible in the first. While other reviewers are dissapointed in the lack of beginning-middle-end type of storytelling, it was nice to see these kids get a chance to truly be kids for a while, even if it means they go to school and have Thanksgiving dinner with a shady FBI agent. While this hold over in Virginia doesn't make for the most exciting read, it gives these hard running, hard fighting kids a chance to regain their bearings and focus on the hunt for their birth parents. This was a fast fun read.

                        5 out of 5 stars Read the 1st, Read the 2nd!.......2007-09-18

                        Patterson brings back the flock into our lives in their pursuit to understand their history and to save the world! It is better than the first!

                        Again, I stress that this book's targeted age group is 10 to 15. I do not recommend this book to adults (which I am) for it is too elementary. For teens it is a great read!

                        5 out of 5 stars great series.......2007-09-17

                        Great series, it keeps you guessing how are they going to get out of the next situation and if one of them is a spy. Enjoyed this book as much as the first one in this series.

                        1 out of 5 stars Boo.......2007-09-13

                        I'll admit, I enjoyed the first book. It was cute, clever, and I liked the idea. But the second book made me angry due, particularly at one character- Angel. A cute, six-year old girl with pure white wings who can read minds and control minds and breathe underwater and talk to fish that everyone loves. I can no longer read this without wanting to bludgeon this Mary Sue over the head.

                        Neither Max or Fang are too original either. Max just has an annoying personality, while Fang is the "OMG Dark mysterious pretty boy angst dark angel!!!". Yeah, like that's original.

                        And don't get me wrong, I loved Iggy, Nudge, and Gazzy... Iggy had a little bit of page time, but the others? Max mentioned in the first book that she spoke all the time, but I can barely remember her. Gazzy is the worst though. As the older brother of Angel, he holds nothing in comparison to her superspeshulness. While Angel can do so many magical things, Gazzy farts. You heard me... infact, his name is literally 'Gasman' while his sister is some Holy Being to the rest of the group!

                        Don't waste your time on this book unless you like unoriginal characters and Mary Sues.

                        This is a great series for any age group, and book 2 continues the bird kid's adventures. You can't help but fall in love with Max, Fang, Iggy, Gasman, and Angel. And the dog!! What a hoot! Can't wait to see what happens next.
