Max Quick in 'Wired' / Coupla New Reviews ...

As I predicted in an interview a couple of months back, the iPhone has quickly become the platform of choice for ebooks -- trouncing even the Kindle (Amazon.com's ebook device).  Wired Magazine explores this phenomenon in this article.  The graphic for the article features the most popular books in the iPhone App Store -- you can just see Max Quick 1: The Pocket and the Pendant peeking out of the lower left corner ... it was #1 for two months, dammit, couldn't they have taken this snapshot *then*?  Oh well ... :)

And of course, we have a few new reviews of MQ2: The Two Travelers below ...

The Max Quick Series is a wonderful way for me to get my kids to spend quality time with me and gives us something to talk about together. As many of you know. there aren't many things that can bring a 13 year old girl, her 9 year old brother and there parents together! Bless you, Mark Jeffrey.

First off, if you haven't read/listened to Max Quick book 1: the pocket and the pendant. Go and read/listen to it now, before you start with part 2. It will help understand the story that much better. Part 2 features the heroes from part 1, but a bit older, a bit more mature, with more baggage. The four heroes (Max, Ian, Casey and Sasha) witness mr. E. being harrassed by what looks like crows, they also find a picture of Ian and Max from New York 1912. They learn that Nuberians are building some sort of machine, and they need to stop it. This story features two distinct story lines that in the end intersect in a wonderful way. It is thrilling and gripping. Indeed Mark Jeffrey, the author, shows his craftsmanship as a true storyteller. The podiobooks version has a few episodes that are cut in two, which may feel a bit weird, but luckily the whole book is finished, so there is no problem there :) This is a must-listen to. Technically it's classified as a young adults novel, but I'd say that this story is fun for all ages. I too can't wait for part 3... 2009 can't come Quick enough. :)
