What Members Thought

In general I do not enjoy James Patterson novels as I find them predictable and formulaic but for some reason I quite enjoy the Maximum Ride series. I found the characters to be interesting and I found the story to be fascinating. I liked how it was fantastical but also believable enough that it felt like the vents could maybe actually happen. The writing style is very readable if a bit simplistic.

I would only give this 2 stars because I thought the story dragged on and on. It just didn't grab my interest and I have no desire to read any of the subsequent books.
Not sure who I would recommend this for, but I know that lots of teens really like it. ...more

The book has a great story line, but the way that the chapters are designed breaks up the natural flow of reading and tends to distract the reader. The characters are well-developed and are very interesting. There is a lot of suspense in this series, and I really enjoy that. There is also a good bit of humor. The only problem that I have is that the overall story does not seem to be suitable for the audience that it is designed for: young adults (whose readers tend to be adolesence to teenagers)
