I love the characters, my favorite character was the Gasman because he's really funny and he makes me laugh.

Okay so character-wise it was the best but plot-wise it was okay. So the plot was like a big random mess I don't really get it, and there are parts wherein I wished they edit that out because it seems pointless and the story drag quite a bit.

There's also so many deux-ex-machina that it was really getting into my nerves. What I mean it is not enough that one character More...

i think max schanged the most from beginning to the end. because she at first thought she was the leader of the group. then the fbi agent took the flock in to live with her. and maxfelt like she was loseing her role as a leader. the flock became more and more attached to the fbi agent and wanted to live with her forever. but max was finally introduced to school and boys an More...

This review is for books 1 and 2 in this series. I feel like I learned a lot from these books as a writer. The fact that book one hit number one on the NYT best seller list means to me that the author did something right, because a whole lot of people are enjoying it enough to buy it and probably tell their friends to buy it, too. So when I read books like these and I feel like he broke some major rules in a way that really, really weakened his books, I have to ask myself, so what exactly did he More...

After I read Maximum Ride 1, I couldn't wait to find out what happened to these characters. In the first one, you meet Max (the leader), Fang (like second in command), Iggy (really awesome blind kid), Nudge (sweet hopeful girl), Gazzy (very energetic and loveable), and Angel (youngest but likely the smartest). You meet other characters like Jeb, Ari and some more. This book picked up where the other one left off. They were on their way to DC to finally find their parents. It starts with fang get More...

Maximum Ride = Marvelous Reading

As leader of her Flock, Max is tough and resilient. This bird girl does not give up on her mission to save the world and protect her Flock. She does it all with flair and a sarcastic edge. Despite endless betrayals and growing up in a lab, Max shows that she can have a soft side too.

The members of Max’s Flock are tight and they each have unique talents. Fang can disappear if he sits still long enough. Iggy sees everything in white. Nudge is magnetic. The Gasman is More...

Speravo migliorasse, e invece niente. E' un peccato, perché la trilogia di Maximum Ride si basa su idee molto interessanti e attuali, ma la resa è pessima.
Non so se sia perché Patterson si è ritrovato "costretto" a scrivere per un pubblico giovanile, oppure se è proprio questo il suo stile: ma questo libro è proprio scritto MALE. Malgrado lo sforzo di una narrazione in prima persona, risulta fin troppo semplice, povero nel linguaggio.
I personaggi rimangono quelli che sono. Unica sor More...

Another great book by James Patterson! In this new installment of the Maximum Ride series you find Max escaping with the flock to grassy fields and beachside resorts, with the lovely Erasers bringing grapes and juices. Yeah, what a boring book. Well goodbye.

The book School's Out Forever is about a gang of kids that have been mutated by a group of scientist that makes them become avian hybrids. They try to break free of this group of this scientist. The group is lead by Max, she has a "voice" that keeps implying that she must save the world. She is backed up by Fang,Iggy,Gassy,Angel and Nudge. They must help her on saving the world from Intel the company with these really werid ideas of World Domination.

Question 14

I think the author wrote this story because he wanted to enhance reading in children. This book is really good I started it on Wednesday and I am already in part II. This second book is about the life of the flock that started when they escaped from the Erasers and the school in NY but now the Erasers are more bad than ever, they have wings too but the good thing is that they are not used to them yet. The erase More...

Being a bit disappointed by the first Maximum Ride novel, I didn't have much intention of continuing the series. But then we played a game at the library where we drew numbers and had to read the book that had that number sticky-noted to it, and the number I drew corresponded with the first Maximum Ride book. Since I'd already read that one, I got clearance to read this one instead.

And with this book, I'm starting to see the appeal of this series, and think I will in fact seek out the More...

'These kids don't need broomsticks to fly'

That's the motto for the Maximum Ride series.

Since I am currently obsessed with reading all James Patterson's books, it was a simple matter to pick this up eventhough this is the first venture by James Patterson for teen adult market.

Maximum Ride series is a spin off from his previous adult novels, When The Wind Blows and The Lake House.

And as I wrote earlier, I prefer this than Harry Potter. Yes you, who have not More...

School's Out Forever (the second book in James Patterson's Maximum Ride Series) is very entertaining. I found myself reading it whenever possible.
These books hold some violence, but are clean and age appropriate. I've laughed at several of the situations/jokes, and I recommend these books.
As I told a friend, I enjoyed these books, but they are VERY YA, meaning that some of the humor is juvenile and some things are repeated a lot.
This particular book was both confusing and a More...

Maximum Ride - Schools out Forever
By James Patterson
I rated this book 3 stars because it is hard to follow. even if you read all of the series in order, this book was confusing to me. the other books in the series weren't to hard to follow.
The plot was good, but i think the Flock could have flown somewhere farther away. they were on their way to D.C. in the beginning, but decide later to wait it out a while because Fang a flock member got attacked by an Eraser. He later was taken More...

“Maximum Ride: Schools out-Forever” by James Patterson is a book about a group of young children who are a little out of place than the average American teenager. Besides dealing with raging hormones and pressures of school, this group of teenagers (with Max as their leader) has a little more to deal with then just homework and tests. Each one of them has been mysteriously taken away when they were only an infant and are not sure who their real parents are. Not only that, they have been nothing More...

Maximum Ride
By James Patterson
Review by Vaughn Drozd

Maximum Ride is an adrenaline pumping, shocking and even tear jerking thrill ride. The book is based on a conflict between a group of kids that are human avian hybrids and “the school” that chases them throughout the book.

The book goes through a variety of settings ranging from cool sky air that is described in the book as cold wet clouds rushing on you as time flies by to houses on land. Maximum ride is More...

This the second book in where Max and her Flock flies to Washington DC to find answers about themselves. Fang gets hurt and is sent to a hospital where they meet an FBI agent, Anne, who houses them. For the first time they attend school where they are separated in different classes and who try to be "normal" and not look like bird kids. They More...

The book Maximum Ride: School's Out - Forever was somewhat enjoyable to read for myself. I picked this book up with out having read the first one and my friend told me it was worth it even if I haven't read the one before. I normally don't read science fiction books but for this genre, it did well at keeping me reading, the short two page chapters really helped kept the book flowing, and there was either a short section of talking then a short section of fighting, so it varied a lot.

MAXIMUM RIDE SCHOOL’S OUT-FOREVER
I just had the honor of reading the book Maximum Ride. It is the best book I had ever read. Maximum Ride is written by James Patterson, and the story takes place in America in almost all 50 states since the characters are constantly on the run. This book is about the battle between mutant bird kids and mutant werewolf characters called Erasers. Some of the Erasers can also fly like the bird children. Both were created by scient More...

Wow, once again I am blown away by how this series can be so good! It is miraculous how much I adore these books as they are so strange and really at times rather "silly", but I do (adore them that is).

Maximum Ride is back and she is just as protective and violent (in a good way!) as ever. When Fang is hurt really bad the flock must trust an outsider - from the FBI no less! - in order to get him treated. While they are living with the Agent she decides that what these av More...
