Ergh. This book SUCKS. It's not as bad as the fourth one, but it's still really crappy.Nov 26, 2008
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This book was so awesome and I couldn't put it down. The group really had to lean on the support of others in this book, and I loved the new powers! James Patterson finally got Max and Fang together which I loved. This was the book to read in this series.Nov 19, 2008
i do not think it will be as good as the first three, the fourth was a let down. i personally like max better when shes on the run and kicking eraser/flyboy butt rather than saving the worldFeb 28, 2017
This has been my entry point into the series, and honestly, my exit point as well. I was...appalled…to be perfectly honest. This book basically touched all the bad tropes that I've seen around. Mind you, I read this in Italian, so there might have been something lost in translation, and this is my personal opinion. Feel free to disagree with it.Dec 24, 2010
Max is off to save the world. Again. This time on a submarine.Oct 28, 2019
The Good: What James Patterson has done well with the previous books in this series, he continues to excel at here. Max and the other bird kids are admirable heroes, the villains are utterly despicable, and there's plenty of action and intensity.Aug 27, 2009
Ugh. Don't get me wrong- I loved the first three Maximum Ride books, when Patterson only intended them to be a trilogy. But the past two books have gone from bad to worse. Remember when the flock fought, oh, maybe ten or twelve savage Erasers at a time? Remember when every day was a struggle just to survive, when everyone was an enemy- especially the average, wingless Joe walking down the street? Now the flock takes down a thousand robots without breaking a sweat, and fights to save not only Ugh.

Now the flock takes down a thousand robots without breaking a sweat, and fights to save not only themselves, but the environment too! Isn't that great? Oh, and to raise awareness for their cause, they fly stunt shows. And apparently, people think it's just peachy that a bunch of mutant kids created by a shifty corporation are running wild. No big deal- pretty cool, in fact.Mar 01, 2009

To view it, click here. it was awesome! i hope he will write another, but it did leave it with a somewhat satisfying ending. however, she didn't finish saving the world, and what is up with Angel and all her independence streak? that was just annoying because she learned in the last book that she shouldn't get into situations where she needs to be saved, and then goes and Max has to go try to save her, even when she doesn't feel like she needs to be saved. ugh.Jan 29, 2011
Read this book if you like: young adult, the flock, children with wings (!), evil scientists, a whole lot of fun, creepy children with sometimes creepy mannerisms, flying, pretty action-packed readsDec 29, 2008
I am sure that I might throw this at the wall while in the process of reading . . . Machine Geeks? Come on, Patterson, the Erasers were cooler than that. At least they actually FIGHT something in this one . . . I hope there will be some fang+max stuff . . . save the fish! not really though . . . it looks so gay . . . what happened to itex? i don't think they resolved everything of that matter in the first 3 books . . . i want some good stuff here! okay now i am just venting about how sucky they I am sure that I might throw this at the wall while in the process of reading . . .

"Max" is the fifth book in The Maximum Ride Novels. This book is written for a younger audience (perhaps eight to fourteen-year-olds) but adults will fall in love with the characters too. My favorites are Max and Angel. As the oldest, Max sees herself as the leader who must look after the younger ones. However, she finds herself becoming distracted as she realizes she has feelings for Fang another member of the flock. Angel is the precocious six-year-old who, like typical six-year-olds, does "Max" is the fifth book in The Maximum Ride Novels.

Oh my god, I LOVE this series, it is soooooooooo epic. I also love The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Alex Rider, The GateKeepers, Dreamhouse Kings, Danial X, Witch and Wizard, Gone, Leven Thumps, H.I.V.E., Sisters Grimm, The Secret Series, The 39 Clues, Pendragon, The Cronos Chronicles, and a lot of other stuff, but that's just right off the top of my head.Mar 20, 2013
What am I doing? I must be a glutton for punishment because I keep reading on in the series. Yes, I love James Patterson, but this is just bad. I'm hoping it doesn't taint my overall view of his work.Jul 30, 2015

To be frank, this book was a pile of dog poop.May 09, 2014
So, I'm rereading this series for the thousandth time (I can;'t help it, I love these books. Stop judging me) and I've forgotten how much happens in the last three book. (view spoiler)[ I will think about things like Dylan, and Max forgiving Fang about Maya (Max 2) or even how Angel was the voice. (hide spoiler)] I've also forgotten how much The Final Warning and Max talk about global warming. At first I was thinking "okay, that sounds legit", but then everyone was talking about global warming So, I'm rereading this series for the thousandth time (I can;'t help it, I love these books.

How on earth did a series with so much potential and so much excitement get so bad?Aug 12, 2012
I don't know what has happened to this series??Mar 09, 2011
Maximum Ride = Marvelous ReadingApr 10, 2011
OK. Prepare for a rant.Oct 07, 2017
This one is far better than the last one. I don't love it, but it was a marked improvement.Mar 30, 2009
Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!! It's not like Mr. Patterson had some great rep to uphold, but the expectation for fun in this series was set high in the first three books. Impossible, but fun, crazy action with funny bird kids. Number 4 was a wretched turn to lame environmentalism which turned the series into something else and changed the story from a stretch, but interesting to an unbearable fake to make points about global warming.Apr 22, 2009
I loved this book! It was the fifth and final instalmant in the Maximum Ride series. The book picks up right where the fourth one left off. It has Max and the flock flying around doing air shows to help raise awareness of what is happening. The kids get shot at and are forced to leave. They go through the book stuggling with their wings and special gifts, discovering new talents and trying to get through life with out getting killed.Sep 15, 2012
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I didn't really enjoy this Maximum Ride book as much as the ones in the Fugitives series. The plot, which started off as 'running for their lives', somehow ended up as 'saving the world'. I really don't get it - does James Patterson mean saving the world, as in environmentally? Because the plots of the series usually focuses on Max getting kidnapped or someone else. In this case, it's Doctor Martinez...Take your time and choose the perfect book.
