Customer Reviews

horrible!
Let me start off by saying I am not a huge critic. I enjoy most books I pick up and loved the other Maximum Ride books. This book however was simply a waste of my time. I am just going to try to forget it exists. After creating a wonderful group of characters the author betrays them in this dry, disjointed, and preachy novel. If James Patterson wanted to save the environment he would have saved the paper this book is written on and not published it at all. Frankly, I am a little angry that this made it through the publisher at all. Many children were looking forward to this book and I am sure they were let down. Stop reading at the previous book or you will be dissapointed. Even though it was short I could barely make it through. Horrible Horrible horrible.

Maximum Ride
This is the fourth book in the unbelievable Maximum Ride triligy. You might find this book quite different from its prequel. This book is mostly based on the good vs. evil side of the story. Most of the flock now know almost everything about themselves. Now its only about staying alive, and ofcourse, saving the world. I would recommend this book to all age groups from kids to adults. Still I recommend to read the first three books of the series first.

What happened Patterson?!
I loved the first three books of the series, though I did think the whole "adults ruin everything" and also the "corporations are evil" thing was unnecessary.I'm a 14 year old girl who reads a LOT. I had heard that this book was preachy beforehand and thought it probably wasn't that bad. Boy, was I wrong! Global warming IS real, but there's nothing we humans can do about it! We didn't create it, and we can't stop it. Anyway...

The plot of the book was a little random, but I would've liked it so much more if Mr. Patterson had simply left out the green eco-junk. I think most of it could've been taken directly out of Al Gore's mouth (and halfway through it started to think Gore DID write it!)
If you're a parent who wants to let their kid read this book, I recommend talking to them about the "global warming" situation either before or after they read it. Because they're sure going to get a truck load of it with The Final Warning. I can only hope the fifth one will be better.
