I LOVE Maximum Ride!!!!

I LOVED all of the other books and this one was no different. It started out a little slow compared to the other two but it was still really good.

If you saw this book first and think you can read this series out of order, your wrong. You should read the first two ("Angel Experiment" and "School's Out- Forever") they are just as good, if not better than this one. Enjoy!

Satisfying thrid instalment

It's nice to see that once again, the cast of Maximum Ride is portrayed as young people, rather than just little adults. Even in their not so perfect world, the episode where Max and Fang butt heads over Ari and Fang's reactions further down the line illustrate what it would be like to not only have to take on an evil multi-national conglomerate, but what it's like to be fourteen and taking on such a task.

The use of the internet as a rallying cry to bring other young people into the scene to help out the flock shows readers, young and old alike, that young people are bright and resourceful, not just running to the closest adult (who'd hear a kid telling a crazy story and blow them off) to resolve the situation.

Mr. Patterson has done a great job at creating a universe where young readers will very much enjoy themselves and want to come back for more. Heck, I've got a Master's degree and am ten years out of high school, and I can't wait for the next book in this series.

action packed and a little romance

I think that Maximum Ride #3 is a great book. the story line was a little confusing at times but for the most part understandable. I would reccomend this book to be read by 10-14 year olds. The ending of the book was a little brief and not the best ending ever, but, it was overall a very good book. I think that it is worth reading a second time.

The "Final" Book in the Series?

This is the last installment in the Maximum Ride trilogy. At least Patterson thinks that this is the end, but after finishing it, I can see that he can wring at least another couple of books out of the characters and the story line.

Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports is the "final" book concerning Max and her "flock." In case you aren't familiar with the characters, they are all genetically altered humans as they have avian DNA in them. They have wings, so they are referred to as a flock. Max and her friends have been on a mission to save the world. The first two books have built up to this climax. Unlike the other books, this one finds her flock separated. Half stay in the United States, while Max and the others are in Europe. This is the first time they have been apart and it provides some additional suspense and more character development. And, keeping current, one character has a blog. Some of the chapters are excerpts of the blog, which added to the story, as they enlist help from the children of the world to assist in saving the world.

If this is the end of these books, Patterson has concluded the story in a very satisfactory manner. Most of the major questions have been answered: Does Max save the world? Who are her parents? Does the flock survive? Why are the scientists genetically altering people? All of those questions, and more, are answered for you. From that standpoint it was a very good ending to the series. There was, however, one part of the book that really threw me. And from that point on, I was questioning everything that came after. I think that Patterson alleviated some of thoughts, but I still couldn't shake the 'revelation.' All in all, this was a very good series. I think that most children (and adults) will enjoy the books, as they are well written, tight, and speak about some very global issues. Plus, there is a satisfying ending.
