"Um, on this book it didnt really matter that JP had me at his first book in this series because the book was great on its own. It was,again, unpredictable, which is something that i definitely have to look for in books because who wants to know how the book will end before they're finished? Not me. So yea, again i recommend this for anyone looking for a good read. I loved it :)"

— Sara, 12/8/2013" WARNING!!! If planning to read this book, leave yourself plenty of time and don't expect to do anything else until this is finished; even if not the best book I've read-not the best book by far- I was enthralled. The book almost turned it's own pages. "
— KK, 12/6/2013" This is one of the better books in the too-long series. The early books in the series are great, funny and action-packed, but the later books just re-use jokes and are sketchy. The concept is interesting, the plot is good, and the characters are unforgetable. "
— Jayden, 11/30/2013" I really liked it however is seems that the story line is dragging a bit and doesn't seem to resolve at the end. Perhaps that is to keep the series going. I definitely want to keep reading the series now that I have started to see where these characters go. "
— Eva, 11/21/2013" Masih bernada sama dengan buku sebelumnya, seolah melanjutkan langsung dari akhir buku pertama. "
— Adri, 8/4/2013" In this exciting, not to mention airborne, 2 book in the Maximum Ride series. Max learns that not all love lasts, not even true love. "
