Publisher Comments:

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. She and all the members of the flock--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the School where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf Erasers in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

Synopsis:

From Death Valley, California, to the bowels of the New York City subway system, 14-year-old Max leads her feisty "family" on a journey of action, adventure, and soul-seeking in this #1 "New York Times" bestselling series debut.

Synopsis:

Characters based on James Patterson's international bestsellers When the Wind Blows and The Lake House are re-invented in Maximum Ride and are launched on the ultimate action-packed adventure full of humor and suspense.

Maximum Ride is such an exciting book. There is action from the very beginning, and it doesn't stop until the book is over. Max is a great character. It's easy to feel the same way she does when anything happens. What also makes her a good character is that she changes by the end of the book. At the beginning, she is unwilling to think of the rest of the flock as equal to her, but by the end she realizes that they are all just as important as her, and that they couldn't survive if they were without even one of them. I would recommend this book; it's a great read!

James Patterson is an exceptional author. Having read this and the other books in the trilogy I can certainly say he knows what he is doing. I think the part of this series that I like best is how there is never only one possibility for an answer to any part of the story. He always leaves the reader with at least two possible endings to each section. I also like his word choice and the way that few details are left out.
