Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever

This is the fast-paced, action-packed sequel to the outstanding bestseller, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. This book covers the flock, a group of six kids, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel, who have been genetically enhanced by people referred to as the white-coats, at a laboratory in California, that the flock calls... the school. Oh yeah, I forgot one tiny little detail! They have WINGS! Yep, they can FLY!!!

Oh, I forgot one more thing... they are on a mission to save the world.

This story starts with the flock heading off to try and find their parents. On their way they fly into flying erasers!!! (Erasers are half human, half wolf -and now part avian- creatures who where also made by the school and their biggest goal is... to rid of the flock by whatever means necessary.) So a battle rages on in the sky until the Erasers eventually retreat and fly away. Max makes sure no one is hurt and no one appears to be injured, so they continue their way through the sky. After a while Max realizes that Fang has been flying awkwardly and goes to investigate. Upon reaching Fang, she sees his arm drenched in blood.

She gasps and says, " Your arm!" And all Fang can say back is, "S'not my arm," before he starts to lose altitude fast... really fast.

Will Fang be OK? What is with the flying Erasers? Will they ever find their parents? And the biggest question of all... Will they be able to save the world?

I love this book! It is one of my all time favorites! I love the action, the surprise, and the entire plot (except for one part- people who know me know exactly what that part is. Although it does make the story more interesting). I love this book and give it a perfrct score. But since this is my favorite book series of all time I give it the highest rank possible! So it is not a ten on a scale from one to ten it is higher!

Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports


You think you know what your favorite book is? Wait until you've read Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports before you answer. This book is so brilliant it will have you thrown out of your seat! With an incredible plot and fast-paced action, this sequel to the second Maximum Ride will amaze you. 

I must admit that I call many books, "my favorite." But, truly, there can only be one. And this is it, my friends! So, naturally, this book rates a 10 on my 1-10 scale of books. If you haven't started reading the Maximum Ride series yet, you are missing out - big time! 

Join Max and five other astonishing kids who can do something almost everyone dreams about: flying. Our adventure starts with a plan to save the world and destroy Itex, an enormous company that has scary plans to cut the world's population in half. But this is no easy task. Even for six super-strong, flying children and a talking dog. Soon the flock has headed west. However, they will encounter more problems then they can count, and find trouble whichever way they turn. Filled with hilarity and sorrow, this book will make you laugh until you fall over and cry until your eyes are sore. There might even be some romance!  

As readers wait for the fourth and final volume of the Maximum Ride series to come out in March, I suggest you read this book (and the first two in the series if you haven't already) as fast as you can! I promise that it will touch you like it has touched me! James Patterson has called Maximum Ride the best story he has ever written. It's time for you to join the ride.
