"O.M.DOUBLE G. that is a cruel ending james patterson...RAR! its so good and depressing and has soooooooooo many 'arg im gonna throw this book at the wall' kinda moments... all in all, bravo james patterson, but also how could you do this to us??? "
“Max narrates with a precocious, snarky voice but makes it relatively easy to jump into her complicated tale midstream. Not surprisingly, the open-ended conclusion begs for a follow-up; it's also little wonder that a movie franchise is in the works.”
“Fast-paced thrills spill from the pages and pull readers in, starting on page one…Patterson weaves humor into the dramatic action. In addition, Max’s romantic relationship with Fang ripens to a more serious level than in the previous books. Hints of an approaching apocalypse, repeated references to Max’s ‘mission in saving the world,’ and a few lingering questions such as her precarious relationship with her father all leave open the possibility of a sequel.”
“James Patterson’s Maximum Ride novel puts the pedal to the metal.”
“Action and snappy dialogue…Jill Apple reads capably.”

" Great book, better than the others before it anyway. Liked how unstoppable max is. Really hope there is more Max/Fang stuff in the next book! "
" This series got horrid. It went from saving the world action novels to "Let's save the environment." got way to preachy. "
" Plot is getting bette, Still... Save the world by going green? Then why the fighting and all of this is a test blah blah blah? "
" The best one i've read out of all of the Max Ride books! "
" Okay, this one is my fave in the series so far. Why, you ask? Oh, because of all the funny make out scenes, the mushy make out scenes, and the dog make out scene! "
" James Patterson, I wouldn't hate you as much if you learned how to write. "
" After the last book, I wasn't sure the series could keep going with the preachy environmental themes. This one perked things back up, though. "
" A little borin "
" I loved this book sooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! "
" Well, it was better than the fourth book, but still not fantastic... I can't just stop reading the series though! xDD. "
" I liked it. It was still Max and Co. and really fun to read, but I think the Maximum Ride series is kind of dying. The first three were the best, but it's starting to go downhill from there. "
" Still good, but I think the series is running out of steam. 3 more books to go! "
" This is the first book I have read in the Maximum Ride series and I did not enjoy it. This is not like Kiss The Girls, Postcard Killers or Private. This is about a bunch of kids that are birds and they have enemy's. Not your normal by James Patterson. "
" This series is starting to not be as exciting. This book wasn't too bad... But it wasn't as great as the first two... Will still keep reading until the end... "
" awesome ? "
" For some reason, I lost a bit of interest about halfway through and found the rest a pain to finish. I'm still reading the rest, though . . . "
" I sort of liked this book. I don't like these later books in the series as much as the first ones. Not a big fan of this book. "
" Redemption, but not full awesome like the first 3. "
" After reading book 1 I could not stop, I had to keep going, and book 5 is no different. I think the series is the only one I can not seem to put down. A must read.... "
" great book!!!1 "
" After the last book i wasnt that fussed on continuing reading this series but i did anyway.This book was very good and focused more on the flock like max and her mum and max and fangs romance.... "
" Maximum Ride books are always entertaining. They do get a little tree huggy but I still like them. I am glad there is only one more book in the series it is time for it to be over. "
" Terrible. A complete let down. Not to mention the INCONSISTENCIES. One very clear one was when Max and Max 2 met up again and Max 2 said she hadn't seen Max since she tried to kill her. WHICH IS WRONG as the two reunited in Book 3. Uh, Mr. Paterson, your Ghost Writers are showing. "
" Good gripping book, you see the characters grow. Back into the adventure and flying with the flock. Wanted more of Angel though as it is named after her, but we didn't really get a lot. Oh well, cannot wait until the next book! "
" Can't wait for the big ending "
" I definatly didn't like this book as much as the rest of the series! There was to much whinging going on from Max! Fang or Dylan? Well, you should know in your heart who you want! Personaly, I say Fang! But that doesn't matter :) "
" The books only get better! I loved this series! "
" even if i didn't read the first 6 books i still understood this book. i really liked it. "
" To me, it had the same exact elements and a pretty close story line to its predecessor, FANG. They ended in exactly the same situation and not much happened. "
