The 5th instalment in the Maximum Ride Series is here! Yet another adventure with Max and the Flock unfolds in this James Patterson page turner. Off the coast of Hawaii, millions of fish are dying, and the reason is unknown. Ships are also being destroyed by someone or something and it is up to the Flock to stop it.
Now, to be frank, when I heard this synopsis, I thought something along the lines of, "What?!?! That doesn't sound like something worthy of the title, Maximum Ride!" Patterson actually pulls it off, though. He mixes the right amount of adventure and mystery to create a good story. He also adds in a little bit of love, for those fans of Fax ('Fang and Max in love' for the newbies).
Anyway, the world is waiting to be saved and the Flock must step up to the challenge. There is an assassin watching their every move and plenty of bad guys trying to make their lives miserable. A certain Mr. Chu also has his own plans for the Flock. So this new book certainly puts the Flock's powers to the test, all of their powers, maybe even some new ones! I can't tell you any more without ruining it, so you'll have to read it yourself.
I would rate this book an 8.5 out of 10. I would recommend it to anyone of any age!

Wow. Still waiting to read it. Hmm... an 8.5. Well, do you rate the other MR books (besides the fourth) tens? That would mean this one doesn't live up to the others.
Sorry, just trying to figure this out. I'm looking forward to reading it, though, especially since you said: James Patterson actually pulls it off!
Anyways, beautiful post, as always. Looking forward to reading Max.
Wow... I finished Max! It was sooo much better than the fourth one, but I still liked the first three the most.
Loved most of the FAX in it!! However, although it wasn't nearly as bad as the 4th, I still thought the characters weren't completely themselves. But they were so much better than the last book, I can't complain! So, overall, I would rate it an 8.5 also. I would recommend everyone read this book!
(Again, great post, AG!!)
Max was so much better than The FInal Warning. Of course it wasn't as good as the first three books, but it was quite a breath of fresh air after the 4th book.
I also LOVED the faxness. Ahh, it was just soo cute! It was what I waited for the entire series!!!! **sighs dreamily**
I LOVE faxness so much. :)
