 Where did they plot go? May 10, 2008
So I love the series and that is why this book didn't get one star but two. If you haven't read the series go ahead and read all of them and just skip this one. This book was more about global warming (yes, we need to care for the earth) than the story that so many readers have been wanting to continue. We were wanting to read about Max and the flock, not about anything else. Why sacrifice a fun and exciting story to just totally trash it for the "green" marketing craze? I'll do my part in helping to keep this planet clean, James do you part in sticking with a good story instead. Dumping the real issue of global warming in a fantasy/fiction book hardly makes for a good and engaging read.
Had to be a Ghost Writer May 10, 2008
I'm sorry but if it's not a ghost writer, then someone must have clubbed Paterson over the head in the past year for his writing style to become so lame. I loved the first 3 books and read all of them in a 5 hour period, but this one took me about 2 weeks to finish. It was so slow moving I just didnt have the compulsion to want to finish it. and when I did, it was like, is that it?
Along with the blatantly obviouse global warming propaganda, the character development was non existant as were the style of his generally oginal antagonists. This one was more of a background cackling bad guy who probably was lifted straight from a James Bond book.
I was also shocked by Maxes quick acceptance of Jeb back into her life, and the coochy Disney ending almost made me sick.
Patterson will need a big ladder to get himself out of the massive hole he dug with this green peace crap.
 A horrible addition to the series. May 7, 2008
I have read most of James Patterson's work, most of them are great, but this one was horrible. I don't know about you, but I read for entertainment, not so another treehugger can whine about Global Warming. I understand it is an issue in the world, but don't stuff it in our entertainment. The story, at some points, got like a text book lesson. Other parts, they were getting new abilities left and right. There was only one good scene in the book, a escape at the end. But even that was tied to Global Warming. In conclusion, it's a treehugger book. It's just a author who shoved a global warming lesson in our face.
Final Warning not up to snuff May 4, 2008
Was probably too excited to read this, the 4th edition, of Maximum Ride. The entire story-line was very much out of the ordinary for Max and Co. No big fights for the kids, just more running scared, unknowns trying to kill them, and the ever constant 'Voice' telling Max to do one thing, her listening, and it being he wring thing to do. The series is too much of a hit for JP to stop writing about the bird-kids, but I sure hope the next one is better than this anti-climactic rendition.
Waste of time May 1, 2008

I enjoyed reading the first three Max series but this one was a disaster. Lets face it, Patterson is not Chricton and should leave the mixing of Fiction with No-fiction to the experts who spend years on a subject before publishing. Don't get me wrong, I like Patterson novels but he is an assembly line novelist. He probably wrote this book over a weekend. Mr. Patterson please stick to what you are good at and leave the teaching to other writers.
