Is it really called The End of Maximum Ride? Oh, well. Okay, I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY hope Dylan and Max do NOT get together. If they do, Team Fang needs to organize a group bonfire of all Maximum Ride books and get a party to go murder James Patterson.
WE.

I mean, seriously, 95% of all Maximum Ride readers are on Team Fang. What a wimpy 5% James Patterson will be pleasing if Dylan and Max get together. Like, end of Fax, beginning of Mylan....more

What in the hell did I just read. Just ... what. I can't even.
NOTE: This is actually the longest review I've ever written. O_o
I have like ten other books to review, and this one shouldn't be my top priority. But, I've found myself unable to write other reviews just because this one keeps nagging at my brain. I can't eat or sleep until I get this review off my chest. Well, not literally … But, I need to get it over with.
Some of my reviews of these books have been troll-magnets in the past. And y...more

EDIT: I finished it! I'm in too much shock to write a review on this book right now, but below is my review of pretty much the rest of the series
Before I even begin, let me begin by apologizing for what I'm sure will turn into a rant. I'm sorry.
First off. Nevermore. What the heck was James Patterson thinking? The first three titles ("The Angel Experiment," "School's Out -- Forever," and "Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports") were great. They were definitely, definitely unique. I could even...more

CATCHALL
Was this book perfect? Not by a long shot. But did I absolutely love it? Yes. It had a ton of problems—don't get me wrong—but my overall satisfaction with the book was high. I do wish that some parts had been done differently, and that some of the problems had come to better solutions. But despite this book's problems, yes, I did love it. It was a fun and quick read in between some of the heavier stuff I've shouldered lately.

So. Exciting.!!!
I'll be sad that the whole series ends here, but I can't wait for it to come out! Nor can I wait for the cover. It should be epic.
This book had better be amazing, or I'll kill someone and then demand a re-write by Mr. Patterson.
Agh! I love Fang! Just saying.
P.S. I'll kill another person if Max chooses the D-man instead of Fang. Also, just saying.
Update: July 4th, 2011

Alright look, Mr. James i-don't-know-what-your-middle-name-is Patterson, you gotta lot to cover in this last book if you wanna make everyone happy. And I mean a LOT.
Let me give you a recap on your "homework":
1. Please, please, PLEASE tell me what the hell Dr. Chu and Brigid are supposed to be involved with. You've made them useless little dolls that aren't irrelevant to the current story at all - come on, you REALLY thought I wanted to see them again? Pul-ease.

Where to start, where to start? Let's start with Fang going all goo-goo eyed over Max's clone, Maya:
Then Max thinking "squirrel thoughts" about Dylan:
Maya dying and Fang thinking "shit she died, well I better go rejoin my old flock and suck up to Max":
Fang being all like "Max, I love you - this is about you and me":
Dylan being all:

My wishes for the last maximum ride book: 1. Don't have the title be the end of maximum ride or be the name of someone in the flock useless it's iggy that I can live with/>2. TEAM FANG!!!!!! Enough said
if Max and Dylan end up together I will burn every maximum ride book BECAUSE FANG ROCKS and I don't like Dylan why didn't he die in Fang I would have been much happier if he had died but I guess than having he in the book would have pointless( Dylan sucks)

I just finished this two-stars-worthy book.
When I found out that this book, that I’ve had on hold at the library for months and months, was available for me to pick up the very day it came out, I rejoiced.
Nevermore: The Final Maximum Ride Adventure. The book to end all books. Literally-- the end of the world is upon the flock.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Whilst I'm happy at the way it ended, I still felt that James Patterson had a lot of things built up throughout the series which he then proceeded to place giant roadblocks in front of.
For example. This isn't really much of a spoiler, so I'm not going to enclose it. The book ANGEL (previous installment) is nothing more than a filler. Okay, maybe there's some information you need to know. Here:

YES! THE END!
I thought I would NEVER hear it!
Thank you, Mr. Patterson, that you FINALLY PUT THIS SERIES OUT OF ITS MISERY.
I mean really... who continues a series for 8 BOOKS? (At least a dying series) (don't comment on that)
Its not that I don't love these books ('cuz I do) but the plot died miserably back in book four, then was unfortnuatly birthed into the hell that is NO FAXNESS back in book six.
Lets just say this better make up for the crap that was the last two (or four).

It's called "The End of Maximum Ride"? I certainly hope that's a working title because it's pretty lame...
(New Update): Oh, good.
Warning: the rest of this update is nothing but spewing, just FYI.
I'm not evens sure I want to read this anymore. What really annoys me is that James Patterson is a sellout. I mean, seriously, it's turned into a book with teams for the two guys. Like Twilight. I honestly don't care who Max ends up with. I liked the series a lot more before that plotline came in.

God, don't let Dylan get max!!
If James Patterson ends it with dylan and max together I will seriously burn this book.
Fang is my all time favortie charicter of any book, and Max and fang my favorite couple.
Fang just plain rocks.
Dylan is just, EWWW!
Hate. Dylan.
And I still don't know about angel. Is she evil? I don't know!
I want more of the old charicters, how they used to act, I mean.
Plz plz plz don't ruin it JP!!

I need to rant. No, not about Max and Dylan being together. Not about the title, not about the changes and how "sucky" the last books have gotten. I am ranting about you dumb trolls! I know I'm going to get so much hell for this, but I think you guys that are reviewing this series are ALL wrong. I made an account on this website just so I could say this, that's how mad I am.

This is going to be a very hard review. On one hand, the book in general fell somewhere between The Final Warning and Angel. On the other hand, I can't really bring myself to give it a bad review.

Okay, here we fucking go. If you think that this book and this series and James Patterson/whatever ghost writer he hired this time is the best thing since sliced bread, and think this review is "wrong" or "too harsh" or "it was just a book!" than don't even bother commenting.

You spent six books building a couple, turning their best-friendship into love, getting us to believe in their love, getting us to love them as much as we believed they loved each other, and now you want to throw that away? I don't understand. Not just why you would do it, but also why you thought we were going to let you.

Dear Fang,
Your only with Maya because you still Love Max and she is an exact copy.
Sincerely,
Me
And also Dylan is ok, but, not with Max, I mean, I guess I would be fine if they got together, but, they don't work together as well as Fang and Max.
Dylan and Max.... Whatever Max, You SHOULD be with Fang
Max and Fang..... YAY!

...I'm very confused as to HOW James Patterson felt that this was a good ending to this series that I very much enjoyed (up until Angel of course.) But I'm pretty sure he took a bunch of the random ideas he came up with in all the books and smashed them together to make this big blob of.... of... I don't even know. But I think he should rewrite this book (and Angel while he's at it.) so it's not so freaking all over the place.
