MAX: A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson

My Rating: 2 stars

**If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!**


I’m sad to day it, but the Maximum Ride books are getting worse and worse as they go on. MAX absolutely had no main plot and was very, very boring.
From what I got out of it, MAX was about how Max and the flock having to save Max’s mom from some Corporation who was against this thing called the CSM, who was raising awareness for global warming and pollution…I think. I think the Corporation who kidnapped Max’s mom was trying to get the CSM to stop whatever they were doing… But as Max and her friends tried to save her mom, they somehow had to go to a type of military boot camp, get training, and then were stuck on a submarine. So basically half of the book was filled with Max whining about claustrophobia, Angel not listening to a word Max says, and a very cheesy and cliché love relationship between Max and Fang.
Oh, and what’s with the title? MAX? Really? That is the most uncreative title I have ever seen. It’s actually kind of sad. Overall, I wasn’t excited to read this book to begin with, and it didn’t turn out to be good at all. And I have searched this book on the Internet, and almost every review I have seen for it has said that it was a good book. Really, I don’t understand how anyone could even say it was relatively “capturing” at the least. I was bored the whole time while reading it. And I am definitely not going to rush to read the next book, titled FANG.

I didn’t really understand the whole sea-monster thing and the corperation. And it did annoy me that Max was complaining the whole time.

i read this a while ago so i don’t really remember it that well, but i don’t recall it being that bad. It definitley wasn’t as amazing as the other books, but it was still okay, in my opinion though. But you should definitley read Fang, it picks up a lot more and has a very good ending.
