THIS is the cause of Global Warming
I liked the first three books. ALL of them, which is more than I could say for the Twilight series.
And then we hit four and-- BOOM! Something in Patterson's head exploded. Well, either that or he decided he could write this in between doing the morning crossword and drinking his coffee.
This is the WORST book I have EVER read. EVER. And I have read many, MANY bad books.
Lemme just say that I believe that global warming is global issue and I STILL found this book fully repulsive.
He fully disregarded the plot to preach to the "itty babeez" about it. He left GAPING PLOT HOLES and THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. "Oh! Iggy! You can SEE now or something!" What? "Oh there was just an exploding pizza, but we're okay." WHAT? "Let's go to Antarctica and obey the government LULZYLULZLULZ!" WHAT???
Seriously. Come ON. (Also, the Max become a OCD basket case, and her relationship with Fang and Angel just got CREEPY.)
I couldn't belive this ending.
I couldn't believe how good this book was. I was so surprised that they survived the HURRICANE of the century. But the Uber-Director was a little scary for me. The book surprised me like no other book had before. This book is a definite 10 Stars out of 5. The book was better than all of the other books combined.
I couldn't believe how fast this book flew by. HAHA HAHA I crack myself up all the time. But the books static character would be Ari. I think that because at the beginning of the series he wanted to hunt Max down and Kill her and when he finally starts to hang with her he gets kid like again.
action-packed middle school thriller
The Feds want to control the Flock, so they offer a devious deal. They will provide the six teens with wings shelter and an education if they cooperate with the authorities. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel consider the offer, but prefer not to be placed under a microscope by adults, who tend to try to harm them.
They flee before the Feds turn their offer into a prison like sentence. The Flock head to Antarctica figuring the isolated frozen continent should prove safe. Environmental scientists studying global warming's impact upon the ice cap welcome the runaway teens. However the evil Director has replaced his failed Erasers with invincible mechanized soldiers. His plan is to sell the Flock for billions each to the highest bidder. Antarctica is no problem for him and his mechanical horde.
The fourth Maximum Ride is an exhilarating 200 proof action-packed middle school thriller. However the plot feels much thinner than the previous entries and somewhat disconnected. Still the Flock remains cool (and not just because of the climate) especially Max who quips his way from one fire to another even in Antarctica as he and his best buddies must save the world while eluding the Director and the Feds who have plans for THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT participants.
