Product Information

You're dragged into the story from the very first page, willingly or not, and nothing can tear you from the book- only forceful things, like school, homework, parents, etc. In January 2010, the webcomic Penny Arcade poked fun at James Patterson based on the description found on the back of the first book. The series is a reboot of Patterson's earlier novels When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, which were aimed for older audiences.

These characters (each bequeathed with atrocious names that are supposed to be hip - Maximum, Nudge, Iggy, the Gasman, Fang, and Angel) spend 422 pages being chased by "Erasers" while trying to discover the secret of the School, the institution responsible for their mutations. The three of them fly and stop to find food at an abandoned vacation cottage, where they accidentally fall asleep. Together they learn of Angel's survival and rescue her from the lab where she's being held prisoner. hear me when i say this: nothing, ever, in my human life on this planet, will hit for me like this book about orphan kids with wings living together in a weird boxcar-children scenario in the aftermath of being experimented on, who are then kidnapped for more experimenting on, hit for me in the fifth grade.

Summary: In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. However, there is little to no resolution in any of these books, which catches up the readers in book 4.

Illustrated by Narae Lee and released by Yen Press, the first chapter of the original English-language manga adaptation came out in July 2008 in the magazine Yen Plus.

This is my first James Patterson, so I'm not entirely sure about his writing style, but I guess the way he's written this book was as if it was the protagonist. This is the third novel of James Patterson's that I have read and I can tell you now it won't be the last. The stilted narration, provided by the "edgy" Maximum Ride, perhaps one of the most grating heroines in YA literature, is weakened by attempts to provide three-dimensionality to her character through her thoughtful analyses of those around her.It had me at the first paragraph when it warns the reader to not read the book - perfect hook for teen readers. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Most of the book is devoted to "to-ing and fro-ing" - running from one location to another - with the express purpose of supplying a new setting for a battle. Worse than the one-dimensional characters and the freakishly awful writing are the countless pages devoted entirely to filler.
