I have read every book that “THE MASTER” JAMES P. has written. I have never agreed him less that 5 stars (including Quickie). But this #3, I really thought I was reading an Al (sic) Gore proaganda paper or michael (sicko) moore, “Why we should have a Socialist Society.” I sent my Grandaugther the trilogy and after reading #3 she question me if I was joking giving her such left wing liberal junk. I still like patterson and his writings, but does not have implant his personal beliefs into his books or his personal agenda. Please send my opinions to him.

I was kind of disappointed with this book….although I like the 2 previous books! For one thing……in my opinion…..it sounded a bit chessy……especially toward the end of the book when Max and the additional 2 girls get capture……and persons 3 tests that she had to pass because of that lunatic lady. Also finding out who her dad wasn’t a surprise but finding out her who mother was….this book felt a bit rush to me….
Overall it is okay, not really that fantastic though.

OK, I will accept right up front the fact that based on the sterling reviews from everyone else here, this review is going to be ignored and/or disparaged by anyone reading this page. So if you are a young reader in the 9-12 age range for whom this book is targeted, stop right here and go yet to be and buy the book. The truth is, you’ll probably delight in it, just as have all the additional young readers.
But, if you are an adult James Patterson fan who is thinking about purchasing this book, let me very fervently advise you to reflect twice. Juvenile books fall into two categories: persons that, while pitched to young readers, are brilliantly written and appeal to everyone…and persons that are not. In the first category are the really superb crossover children’s literature masterpieces, such as JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Ian Flemming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Roald Dahl’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, and even the Dr. Seuss oeuvre.
But sorry to say Patterson is no Rowling (or Flemming or Dahl). Maximum Ride, from an adult perspective, is an unbelievably terrible book. I’m talking not just terrible, but truly execrable. This is all the more remarkable because Patterson has been so successful with his adult work. But it seems that in targeting down the age range, Patterson also can’t help writing down…and that just doesn’t work. It doesn’t bear going into all the gory details, because either you’re going to snub this review and buy it anyway, or you’ll be warned off and go on to something else. But suffice it to say that this book reads like the worst of the hack teenage fiction, not even rising to the level of the Stratemyer Syndicate series like Nancy Drew and Tom Swift.
I’m honestly sorry to have to be so negative, because I very much like Patterson’s adult work, but this book is simply not worth reading…if you’re an adult [sigh].

More than half the book is actual blank pages. There is no tale to speak of, except “wouldn’t it be cool if I could glide like Max?” Huge gaping inconsistencies in the tale, and it is repetitive to the point of nauseating. It openly tries to drive you to web sites that can generate more money for this loser project. No redeeming qualities, I wasted a week of my life hoping for some salvation in the end. Boy was I fooled. I’m no snob when it comes to books, but it’s an insult to 9 year olds to say this would be excellent for them. Bring shame on on you Patterson, I will not read you again because of this insult to readers of all ages.

Not many of you will know that Patterson published books 1 & 2 twice! When the initial series became a hit, he sold the movie rights, and then completely rewrote the series, changing crucial parts and in many readers opinions, not for the better! Patterson employs additional writers on many books so let the buyer beware!
