They’re rushing around, gaining new superpowers with no satisfactory explanation, and they don’t feel human anymore. The characters aren’t living, they’re surviving. There is only one plotline I’ve ever found to be so incomplete, incomprehensible, or so filled with gaping holes, and it’s also by James Patterson, coincidentally (Confessions of a Murder Suspect). And Max is the cause of all the problems that occur in this book, rushing off like a hero in every circumstance and being quite idiotic about it, and if you read in between the lines you can detect a sort of arrogance and self-centeredness that frankly makes her not at all likable.Īnd finally, the plot. Angel is-if you read the next book or 2-starting to become some kind of monk that fails at her job and doesn’t act like a family member at all.

Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggy are just THERE, only there for the benefit of making it feel a bit more like a family. Fang is the generic cool-guy who, despite being described as the pillar that the main character (Maximum Ride) relies on, did nothing. The small tidbits of humor inserted into the story add nothing to it-and in most cases, aren’t even funny. The massive ones, the ones that made the story not even worth bothering to read. But even reading the book as a 9-year-old I easily identified the flaws while reading the story. The spine remains undamaged.It might be surprising, given James Patterson’s reputation as both a great author and a popular one. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Danger is never far away and while fighting to save their own skin, they have a new mission to undertake - one with devastating global consequences. Driven to the wastelands of Antartica, each day brings a new threat for the flock. But just as they struggle to get to grips with these physical changes, emotionally they face new challenges too: life on the fringe of society can be a lonely existence. But as their predators evolved, their unique ability to fly is no longer enough to save them.With their genes mutating to astonishing affect, the flock establishes a new set of skills to unleash as they strive for survival.

Hunted all their lives, they've had to fight life-threatening and belief-defying battles pitting their strength against the fearsome force of their shadowy enemies. Evading capture on a daily basis, they have endured torture and been pushed to the very brink of sanity. This flock has endured a turbulent upbringing and they have been continually faced with evil. The result of a cruel Biotech experiment which manipulated their DNA and turned them into recombinant life forms with wings. Max, Fang, Iggy, Gasman, Nudge and Angel are six extraordinary avian hybrids.
