Published March 19, 2008
Okay, so I just finished reading Maximum Ride: The Final Warning in like an hour. I ate it up.
Buuuuut... I have to say the whole global warming advertisement was annoying, because it's like blatantly obvious. I mean, sure, let's all get together and save the earth but I don't know, it kind of put me off. Maybe It's what I needed.
Secondly, it was short. Short short. Shorter than the others. I waited a year and it's like a dinky little thing!
And lastly, it didn't answer any of my questions! Who's the Voice? Is Itex gone? Will the world ever be saved?
And (I guess I lied about lastly) it's a cliffhanger!! The Voice just merrily sends them on their way to another mission? lalalalala... so there's another one?! I have to wait a whole year!!
On the plus side, it was absolutely awesome and I loved it.
Discuss.(that's an order)

Fang?
God, I hope not!
I've reade all of them, and I think their brilliant!
The last one *did* become rather prechy, which kind of ruined it, because of all the cliffhangers, but still It was great. I cant wait until the next one! (Tere is going to be another, right?)
And some of the things are driving me crazy! All the cliffhangers!
It annoyed me how very preachy it became. I hope the next one makes up for it!
HAHA!:smt005 .... somehow I can't see that...
It's Fang!
Wow, that would be weird.
Oh good, but now I want to know who you think it is... please? Or do I want to know... Is it Angel?
The next Ice Age, I could see that I guess. I still think it's a ghostwriter though. Hmm...
Well it is fun to guess about these things at least!
What I think it's all leading up to is the final battle.... are you prepared??? The next Ice Age!!! And NO I did not think the Voice was Jeb. You will never ever ever guess who (at least who I think) the Voice is.
I'm gonna give it a shot, since I liked his other books.
No, actually the Final Warning was pretty much a huge disappointment to the oh-so-wonderful series.
I don't think JP re-worded it for kids because, as you said, that would be pointless considering the others. And it really wasn't any different that way. The disappointments were that it didn't really move the plot along at all, it was all global warming save the world, and it was short. When I re-read it, I really started to think it was a ghostwriter. Which would suck.
So, was the final warning any good?
I've just started reading mr3. Still haven't figured out who the Voice is. Anyway, I heard that james patterson (or whoever wrote the book) took special care with the content and language so that younger kinds could read it. If he wanted to do that, though, why didn't he do that with the other maximum ride books? why did he wait for the fourth book? I mean, that's, like, unconsistant.
Church: Nothing. Absolutely nothing of substance. Don't buy the fourth one.
I read the first one, became addicted. Read the second and became obsessed. Then I bought the thrid one in an airport (how stupid of me) I had figured it answered everything! What's left?
I hate the books.
They're addicting, so I read them, but I tried rereading it once - awful. Same thing happened to me with Harry Potter. Amazing characters, awesome plot, terrrible writing.
I've read better fanfiction.

I agree with idle muse. All the global warning stuff was incredibly preachy and "Save Our Planet!" hype at its worst. While the UberDirector stuff was good, James Patterson could have expanded it a heck of a lot more to space out the recycling junk.
I adore those books, and so far I've only read the first two, they're wonderful!
The third one sounds intruiging. Can't wait to read it!
UGH. if he did i've lost about a million pounds of respect for him. I have a theory that he wants to keep writing the MR series because he's making a lot of money off of them, but at the same time he's kind of lost interest in the series.
how depressing.
The fourth came out on March 17th, I think you can get it at any book store... I got mine at Borders. Don't get too excited, it's kind of a let-down book.
Hey, do you people think James Patterson got a GhostWriter? it would explain a lot.
omg!!!! The fourth one came out?? Where can I get it?

Hang on, what one's this? I've read three... I didn't think the fourth was out yet. And I thought it got cleared up in Book 3 who the Voice was and Max's parents and all. Or is that debated in this one?
I didn't like this book nearly as much as the others. It suddenly became incredibly preachy and moralist. Still it was definitely not a bad book. I just hope the sequel is more in-tune with the first three.
GAAAAAH!! was anyone else annoyed that love/freak out scene between Max and Fang was EXACTLY THE SAME as if was in MR3???
who? *gets on knees to beg*
if anyone says jeb i will laugh so hard and tell them to read the Final Warning
You don't know who the voice is!!! *dances around chanting "I know I know"*
