James Patterson did it again
This book is better than great, its FANTASTIC!!! The first 2 books were amazing and so is this one. It only took me 4 days to read i couldnt put it down. If u havnt read the maximum ride series yet you definetly should. It is action packed with thrilling adventures that will keep you glued to the book. There are no boring parts in this like there are in some others.

MUST-READ BOOK!!!
I remember, back in good 'ol 2008, when my awesome SAGE teacher told her class, me included, about a book called Maximum Ride. I listened as she described it, and built myself a mental picture of the story. I thought, Okay. It sounds like a good book.
Then I read it.
And absolutely, positively fell head-over-heels in love with it.
It even beat out the Twilight series and Harry Potter! In the course of twenty-four hours, I inhaled The Angel Experiment. The next day, I had to read the next one! That day passed and I was done with School's Out- Forever, then another day and I'd finished Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports.
Saving the World is definitely in my top-three Maximum Ride book list. It was suspenseful and absorbing, and I never got bored with it. Max and her flock of human-avian hybrid kids had their backs against a wall, yet again. The School, the executions, retirement getting a totally new and gruesome meaning, Angel the traitor, Jeb, the whitecoats, escape becoming more valuable each day, yet becoming also more impossible-
But I've said too much.
The plot itself has so many possibilities. I'm glad James Patterson was the author to take on this novel. He's good with this kind of thing, and I can't see the characters any other way. They make a very big impact on the story, their personalitites alone, and on their readers. So many climaxes, it's almost impossible to call one the most surprising. Death and destruction is at every turn, and all this is simply the basis for Patterson's work. Bravo.
I can almost feel their adrenaline, feel their pain, the wind in their hair and faces, the sun on their skin, the pain the whitecoats put them through, the aching in their wounds and hearts when they see Jeb, and the suspense atmosphere is totally impossible to miss. It's like you're there with the flock. Like you're in the flock. Amazing. That's not even close to enough to describe it.
One of my favorite things about Maximum Ride is the characters. They're good role models for children most of the time, and they amaze me. The flock is full-blooded and three-dimensional. They seem so real, like I could go out and meet Max and the flock. They're tough and strong, sarcastic, witty, interesting, hilarious, laugh-out-loud riots, but they're down to earth if you can see them as just normal people. They're a much-needed break from today's so-so drama/comedy that everyone in America bores themselves with nowadays.
What I love about Maximum Ride as a book and Max herself, as a character, or a person, is that she's different. She's not like any other fourteen-year-old girl in the world. Not just because of the whole mutant-experiment thing, but she's different. She doesn't care about the newest clothing line coming out this season, or having the newest cell phone on sale today, and definitely not her hair. She worried mostly about a) Saving the world. b) Keeping her flock safe. c) Surving. Everything else can wait.
It's hard for me to describe this myself and totally capture the essence of Maximum Ride. It's better to experience it first hand. What are you waiting for? Grab a copy of Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports and read it! You'll see what I'm talking about.6 out of 8 people found this review helpful.

this is the best book ever you will never forgt about!
in this book you just keep wanting to read i even had a dream about kinda freaky,right? and at the end you feel like you have to immediatly read the next book no matter what. it's just a fantasy book it's more than that, it's like a whole different world that you want to be in even though you know it's dangerous and you could get punched in the face but still have an adrenaline. i see how they think there frecks but i will feel the same way if you didn't look or feel the same way as a "normal" person. not only does she have wings but she also get's this weird voice inside her head. you also might think oh i don't want to read this book 'cause it's just an action book, well don't think that 'cause it's does have some sad friendship parts and she does have a little romance with one of the guys but i won't tell you who. not only does it sad and love parts it also has a some mysterious family parts in 2 ways. if you want to read the book now after what i just told i wouldn't blame you.

"Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports,"
"Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports," is a Science Fiction young adult novel. It is written by James Patterson, and published by Little Brown Books. This book is about a flock of six kids who got injected with a certain type of DNA. This DNA caused them to have wings. There are groups of people who work at a place called "Itex," or "The School", and these people the kids call the white coats. They are the creators of the kids, but the kids aren't the only thing they have created. These so called white coats made these other creatures called Erasers and they're sent out to kill the flock, but every time they have tried, the flock remains undefeated. Then they made robots called fly boys, and they're like the newer version of erasers. Max and the flock beat the Erasers but can they remain undefeated while fighting the flyboys?
Max and Fang separate from the younger group of kids, in search of a new home. They haven't seen erasers in four days, so they aren't very worried about leaving the rest of the flock alone. Although they don't think that the kids will be found, ironically, they are captured.
This led to many more adventures. The suspense will just drag you into the book. The action in this book is awesome, and it has a little bit of romance. The romance in this book adds a little kick to the story. The action in this book and the romance makes it ten times better, because it will lead to other events that will blow your mind away.
Everybody should read this book because it has such great detail. The Author has a great imagination, and makes everything sound so real. Every time I read this book, it played a little movie in my head, and I think that's what makes it seem so real. The way he describes each and every thing, such as facial structures and the way they look, the way they change, and the way they're different is definitely unlike anything I have ever read before. James Patterson's books are the most detailed, and his books are so far the best I've ever read. Other people should read them. Once you start you can't stop, all the action makes you want to read more, and more. James Patterson is so far one of my favorite author.3 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Wow! James Patterson Never Fails to Thrill...
This was an amazing book. My tip for all middle school teachers: you have to buy this series. Even high school teachers: buy this series for it is addicting!!! Be sure to keep multiple copies of the other books on hand so the students don't need to wait to read the others. The saga of Max continues as the group splits up for a time and Gazzy, Iggy, Angel, and Nudge choose sides between Fang and Max. This is a fast paced novel, which is sure to entertain until the last page.

Rumors are news
Before I read this book, I heard a lot of news that this book is hard to put down. Apparently, that rumor is basically true. I can finish the book in one day, but because homework is interfering my reading time, I finished it in 3 days. I love the book so much. I'm gonna read the next book after I got home. Definitely worth rereading.
