 Misinterpreted... July 24, 2008
Okay, like the rest of America i was sooo excited for the continuation of the Maximum Ride series, but instead of the action-packed thriller,nonstop read, edge of your seat book i had beed expecting,i got a dinky little 256 book that was one big boring lecture.
Don't get me wrong, i believe in stopping global warning and helping to enviorment too,but the whole time i was reading it ,it felt mocking.
The only real rediming quality about this book was the progress in Max's and Fang's relationship.
Also, one bad book in a great series i can forgive, but i'm wondering is JPs' going for two?
The fith book in the series "Waterwings" is only going to be 272 pgs long, and the theme is "polution".
*Sigh* we can only hope its better than it sounds i suppose...
 Not worth waiting for! July 23, 2008
My daughter,15, and I enjoyed the first three books in the Maximum Ride series. We looked forward to this book with great anticipation. It was a letdown. The first half of the book was disjointed. Who tried to blow them up? Why were they mutating further?
Then the second half of the book shoved Global Warming down our throats! And the line that beef consumption was more to blame than fossil fuels. UGH!
If James Patterson was not a best selling author, and this was not part of a bestselling series, it would never have found a publisher.
I am glad we borrowed this from the library! We won't be buying this one!
The worst of the series July 22, 2008
First I really like all the other Maximum Ride books. There good. But this one is awful. Every review here about how bad it is is true. My biggest problem with it is, with all that the flock goes through, its all for really nothing. No valid points are made in this book. Patterson lectures about Global Warming, and writes a very weak story, that goes nowhere in the end. What ever you feel about Global Warming. it has nothing to do with why Bird kids were made, or why the keep almost getting killed by these strange and freaky bad guys. Read this book of his only if you want to say that you have read all of Patterson Max Ride books. Other wise wait for the next one and hope its alot better than this one.
 Pretty Good but not as good as the other "Maximum Ride" books July 19, 2008
If youre reading this you probably have read the other "Maximum Ride" books, (If not read them first). I thought the first three "Maximum Ride" books were amazing, so I read this one. I wasnt as good. First off it was too short, and, I dont know, it just didnt leave as great a feeling in me as when i read the other three. It was still entertaining, and kind of sucked me in, but, again, wasnt as good as the other three. I actually give this a 3.5 star, but thats not an option here. Its still a fun read though.
Good but confusing. July 11, 2008
James Patterson gives a good read but I would really love for authors that decide to do series to not change in mid stream. The Maximum Ride series is an example that does that. I'm sitting with a copy of "The Final Warning" in my hand that says it's the 4th in the Maximum Ride series and I have a copy of a newly printed version of "The Angel Experiment" that says "The Final Warning" is the 1st title in "The Protector" set. As a librarian, I'd like to sit Mr. Patterson down and have a good talk with him about not reorganizing series.
