Maximum Ride

I highly recomend you read these books if you haven't already. The beginning of the first is a little confusing, but it quickly gets interesting. Just hang in there! I know I started them and then just stopped because I got bored with the beginning. Trust me, it's worth it. Max is an amazing character, what with her firey and witty personality.

As for the fourth one, I have to agree partially with Spellbinder, because (though part of me hates to say it) I think James Patterson could have done much better with it. But, I think you should still read it. I mean, yes, he did go a little overboard with the whole global-warming thing (Most of which, I don't personally agree with) But, it's still worth it. If you loved the series, you have to read this last one.

Come on, Max is still as sarcastic as ever. You've got nothing to lose.

I loved these books so much (thus the icon and profile pic) and you will too.

[spoiler]SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read the 4th Maximum Ride book, its called The Final Warning, if I recall correctly. It is horrible. Absolutely wretched. It starts too fast, slows down and is tolerable in the middle, then shoots off in a totally random direction for no appearant reason in the end. The last half of the book is this crusade against global warming. It's like Patterson attended a confrence on it, and suddenly was inspired to redo his story to aid that cause, which he did, and suddenly changed his entire direction, then sort of attempted to patch things up. Only he didn't do so very well at all. Horribly. I support the anti-global warming thing, but this is too in-you-face, and pathetic. Early in the book, Max and the flock snub an offer of government for protection, then speak about global warming before Congress in the last chapter. What the heck?[/spoiler]

I stay up all night reading any books, not just Maximum Ride. I just can't put a book down until I've finished it or else I think I'm going to miss out on something.

Maximum Ride is one of the best books ever. How can you hate Ari? I love him. And he's six/twenty something. shrug.

Right before my family went to D.C. my mom bought the book for my brother- I ended up staying up till four with a flashlight reading it! Of course, then I made Mom buy me the second one and read it all night at the hotel. And bought the third at the airport on the way back. It's a good thing I've read them each like 20 times, because Mom was not happy at spending that money on a series I'd only started two days before!

I'd recommend this book to basically anyone except people who wanna borrow it from me. MINE!! MINE I TELL YOU, MINE!!!!!!
Yeah.

i've read all three of these books as well and found them to be pretty funny and entertaining. Not a hard read at all. The action is great but the best part of the books are the descriptions of flying. My favorite scene from the books is when they kids go and fly with the hawks. Absolutely incredible.

I heard that there was going to be a fourth book too. But I still haven't read the third one.

True love! A family! School! More opportunities for Max to be her obnoxious, sarcastic self!

THAT is what awaits us in book 4. lol. at least that's my opinion. or maybe more erasers. or something. i don't know.

How can there be a fourth one, if Max has already saved the world? Isn't that what Jeb said she was designed for?

Hm..I don't like the idea of a fourth book. I think that it is already all summed up.. unless like Ari (grrrr... I hate Ari) comes back to life somehow and rebuilds Itex. But that would be dumb, because he is only six years old!

Well, how you do guys think book four will be?

Oh, yes, the ending of the third one was simply BEGGING for a 4th.

there is going to be a fourth one! b/c they did this "vote for a fourth book" on the website. I'd know - I'm a member .

I don't think there is going to be a fourth one. It said on the cover that it was the end. What was so depressing about the 3rd one?

I just about threw the book across the room when Angel betrayed them. It scared me so freaking much! I didn't know what was happening!! Boy that made me angery! But, she was on their side the entire time, so it was ok.

I really didn't like how it kept switching around, saying that the director was Max's mom, and then she's not...that was confusing.


anyway, SSassy lady, I can't spoil it for you! Sorry!

I haven't read the third one yet!!! But the first two were awesome .



p.s.- anyone want to give me the low down on the third one?

the 3rd book made me want to hit James Patterson over the head with a dull ax. Yes, it was hilarious, but NOTHING MADE ANY SENSE!!!! and the things that did make sense were completely cliche!! GRRRR!!!

I LOVED the first two though. and even though the 3rd one depressed me i'm still anxiously awaiting number 4.

I am actually thinking about reading that...Is it good? =D
