An OK book, I thought it was a bit slow in parts and think the pacing could be better.
saving the world and other extreme sports Maximum Ride (3)
Hardcover, 489 pages

Published Sept. 5, 2007 by Thomson Gale.
The time has come for Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel to face their ultimate enemy and, despite many obstacles, to try to save the world from a sinister plan to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race.
An OK book, I thought it was a bit slow in parts and think the pacing could be better.
Why the hell did I read this? Iām a 25 year old bitter adult with a grudge against hack writers like Patterson. This book isnāt for me. Iām not the audience. Teenagers are.
If thereās one thing Iāve always hated about Pattersonās work, itās his trademark two page chapters. It makes the pacing of an already bloated and overwrought book unbearable to slog through. And on top of all that, the reader has to endure the most precocious and obnoxious narrators.
āMaximum Riderā reads like a 40 year old trying to take on the voice of a teen. Said narrator is surrounded by a gaggle of misfits including the black-clad edgily names āFangā.
Reluctant readers in the pre teen age range would probably enjoy this ākid powerā story. Not me though, definitely not me.
