Max A Maximum Ride Novel James Patterson Books

The idea of kids with superpowers should be terrifying. It’s not, or at least not in this series. This novel manages to have comic book imagery without being a graphic novel. Imagine six-year old Angel with her beautiful wings and gills flying gracefully or swimming in the ocean. Imagine the fashion conscious Nudge. I keep getting beautiful images of these children at times like when they have a water balloon fight.
The author manages to weave in lessons abut the dangers facing planet Earth and how important it is to save it and ourselves. The message is subtle and the book stays enjoyable.
It has been too long since I read the last book in the series, so it took me a minute to catch up with the bird kids and their dog, Total. The kids now have gills so they can survive under water as well as in the sky and Total now has wings. Cool.
But they keep developing new powers to cope with each danger. Is that playing fair with readers who expect characters to cope with what they already have - even if what they have are super powers. Maybe the kids already have too many super powers. It’s hard to keep track of them all.
I even have to take notes on the characters. Iggy is blind; Gasman is handy with bombs. Fang is Max’s love interest, and Angel is evolving faster than the others. Total the dog has a crush on a pure bred Akita.
I loved the part where the U.S. Navy tried to teach the kids basic training. After what these kids have been through in the novels so far, there isn’t much more about survival that they can learn. Tough survival instructors got a lesson from a six year old. The flock always seem more than up to whatever dangers that face them.

Max A Maximum Ride Novel James Patterson Books Reviews

after thoroughly enjoying Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, I had high hopes for the Christmas Wedding.
Sadly this book has the most ridiculously unbelievable plot I have ever had to sit through.
Without giving away any secrets . The story revolves around Gaby who has been proposed to by three men from her town all at the same time (naturally) from her town but she has not accepted anyone instead she has decided to marry one of them on Christmas day with the groom finding out on the day as that the same time as the family and town (nothing unusual here right?) This is Gaby's way of forcing her family to come home for Christmas for the first time in years.
after spending a few pages with the ever annoyingly cheerful Gaby you totally understand why the family stay away. James Mr Patterson seems to have joined the likes of Nicholas Sparks and Danielle Steel where they just pump out any old trash for bucks. this making him nothing but a literary prostitute.
First I'd like to quickly review the previous book "The Final Warning" since I read the paperback rather than the kindle version. I only add this review since it ties into my review of "Max".

The previous installment started adding confusing elements into the plot that seemed like overkill. There are still messages of saving the earth but the villains keep changing with varying objectives with seemingly one common denominator which is to continuously try and kill the flock. Yet the reasons for targeting them isn't completely understandable at this point, especially after going public and having public support. Also the Uber villain in the last book was just a bit too much to swallow.

"Max" continues to be action packed but is a bit confusing as well, starting with the title. The preview for the next book at the end of "The Final Warning" called it "Waterworks" (or something like that) so naturally I start searching for that title. An hour later of Google searching lets me know that was the working title and it was actually "Max" that was the next book.
This book continues to add more and more to a plot that's already popping at the seams. Suddenly we are underwater and dealing with yet another villain along with a kidnapping, mutant aquatic animals and an Atlantis like underwater city. On top of all that, the flock start developing new abilities without any great explanation other than they must be evolving on their own beyond what they were programmed, but the hows and whys are hazy if not completely absent. Then the biggest reason for the 3 star rating is the extremely confusing and unrealistic (yes I know this is all fantasy but still... ) rescue of Dr Martinez from the underwater city dome. Somehow the mutant aquatic animal's snot bubbles prevent Dr Martinez from being drowned and/or crushed after the dome cracks open, the whole sequence is sort of glossed over using humorous cracks about the snot but it made very little sense and could have been thought out more.

Yet I still give the last two books 3 stars because the reader cannot help but be invested in the characters after reading the very first book. So crazy plots, villains changes, extreme locale changes, and going from Erasers to Flyboys to M-Geeks. Whatever the story throws at Max and her flock, you cannot help but read on to make sure they get through it all intact. Although these last two books were not as strong as the first three, you can always count on action packed sequences throughout the story therefore it is never, ever boring! Hopefully the next books start tidying up the plot more and we are able to see (at least somewhat) the bigger picture which ties all the craziness together.
