Maximum Ride takes flight in this Young Adult series.
I was drawn in by the blurbs on the jacket of Maximum Ride, and ended up really enjoying this mutant-teen-adventure on steroids. James Patterson's book is well-written, well-crafted, and downright fun - especially when waiting endless hours in an airport for whenever your next flight might be.…

I got hooked on these books thanks to my 16 yr. old daughter. Way to go James!! It is hard to find clean, fun, imagineable books out there. The teen series is much better than the adult version.
We have bought the full hard bound set and I want a second set for myself when my daughter leaves next year. Max and Fang are quite the pair. They are fun to read about and the best part is that they have SOUL!! I give this a 10+ and will and have recommended them to all sorts of people all ages. Thanks again for a fun, clean read.

Max and Fang are already heading that way. If one of you are surprised, reread book 3. I hope they dont slaughter this one like they did with the Eragon movie. I hope I dont need to go into detail with that one. Anyways, my best wishes to the making of the movie. And James Patterson, stay on top of those script writters so they dont mess it up.

Also, Mr.Fan, it say who they cast as Max on their web site. maximumride.com

i think its to good of a book to be made into a movie because the movie would ruin the book

I just got done reading the third book. Personally it ws the same exact thing as the second one. But omg i am so glad that Fang and Max are back together
32 - MRFAN
The best part in the third book is when max and Fang kiss...AHH! THEY TOTALLY NEED TO GET TOGETHER! But it is so sad when they seperate...that was the worst part of the third book.
33 - amber
I can't wait until the movie, but all i know is they better make it good. I am also glad that max and fang get back together in the third book, it would of been so sad without them together again.
34 - Max Wanna Be
Ahhh!!! I can't believe that they are making a movie but seriously i heard it was coming out next year? I can't wait that long. I love the books so much and next year! AHHH all over again. I already pre ordered the 4th and hopfully not last book. I don't know what I would do wihout them. and that's coming from me who honestly hates to read besides this book series. I think this is the first book I read on my own since like last year!!! The movie could eaither be bad or if they put a lot of time and effort into it could be awesome with the wings, erasers and such. So COME ON JP KEEP AN EYE ON THESE PEOPLE!!!

I don't usually read many books because I don't like to read, but when I read maximumride I loved it and couldn't put it down. I have so far read all three books, and can't wait for the fourth book to come out!! I heard there is also a movie coming out soon as I heard. I can't wait for it to come out.

Then i ran out of books and read the ones that inspired him to rite Maximum ride and there good to cant wait for the next book to come out.
LETS FLY.......
37 - MRFAN
I agree, James patterson needs to make sure everything goes smoothly in the movie! If they cut out the kissing scenes between Max and Fang I will be VERY disapointed.
38 - fangfan
I really think that there should be some more private moments between Max and Fang
39 - Fang'sgirl
dudes I've read the books like three times b4 my mom like MADE me put them down. And I can't wait 4 MR4 2 come out. mr3 like totally ending suddenly where they were lk leaving max's house. dudes I really think that he should like not kill fang or max or any of the flock like (this is an idea mayb he shouldn't do it) but make Jeb like get killed idk it would b like heartwreching and evrything but that would b so WEIRD nevrmind I even thought about it. I just hope he doesn't like kill Fang Or Max.

My dad was the one who really got me into these books starting with the Womens Muder Club, and I absolutly fell in love with the first book, the first chapter! Thank you Mr. Patterson, for having such an incredible writing imagination. I can't wait for many, many more books!
41 - PEACEKEEPPER
I can't recall how it came to here about James P. But I must say his writing keep me reading as often as possible. You see I worked two jobs and yet even though this was written for young adults, I found my self engulf in his world. It may have something to do with the fact that I like a TV show called DARK ANGEL, now noting that these are two different Maxs I still loved the layout. I hoping he gets the movie squared away so that we will have something more to look for & at to our collection of books.
KEEP FLYING HIGH

ps. I wish he did podcasting

I looked at the person playing Max in the movie and that is pretty darn close to what I pictured her. Though, on the cover of the third book, that is not what I pictured Fang to look like. But, what can I say, it is how JP pictures them and I respect that.
43 - Slash
More on such, did anybody see the Erasers? They went by too fast in the commercial for me to get a good look.
May you fly free. (And your swords sharp).
P.S.
My two favorite books.
44 - morgan

I love the Maximum Ride Series!!!!! They are sooo interesting!!! Max is awesome!! They all are awesome!!! James Patterson needs to keep writing Maximum Ride books!! If he doesn't... IDK wat i will do!!!!! I hav been waiting all year for this book to come out!!!!!
65 - Maximumrideluver34
The fisrt book is my fav! The second and third books are really good to! The fourth book is not good at all. i LOVE THOSE SEries and am sorry to say that the fourth book basically just says what James Patterson thinks about Global Warming and what we can do to help. This better not be the last book because i will be so SO ANGRY!!!!!! This book was way to short and had very little action! I say that James Patterson has totally failed and that all you people out there should rebell against the book. I think the book was not creative and just made so people could see what James Patterson says we should do about all this crap. (So called global warming...) I think Patterson better make another book soon or he will be thrown out of town! (lol... for once) The new book he should make should be that Max's experation date has shown up, because nothing bad ever happens to just Max and i LOVE alot of capture of the main character. Even though i love the othe maximum ride books, this one shoulld of been redone or never published. Those who are maximum ride fans and want to get the fourth book, don't waste your money. I know i have said this once , twice, and more but this book was not good and i think that the title: THE FINAL WARNING, had nothing to do with a final warning. Those who read this either disagree or agree with this fact: this book shouln't even be compared with the others. Its is very not maximum ride-ish and Patterson, you have not did this for the readers to enjoy this book or to finish the series, you have simply wrote this book so you can get your view of Global Warming accross the Usa. I do not think this was a maximum ride kind of book.
66 - Maximumrideluver34
to bannanas and cream: my fav character is prob Fang and Max.
67 - deborah
I love Fnag just by his descrption.
I also think Max is a strong 14 year old girl.
P.s Patterson rules.
68 - MRFan
Just finished reading MR4. It was excactly like his others: suspensful, exciting, hilarious, action-packed and romantic Max and Fang!) WAY TO GO JP! and OMG...on his online interview he states that he is going to write a fifth book! YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
69 - tammy
omg!! JP is going to be writing a fifth Maximum Ride book I am like sooo excited!!!!!! He said in his interview that in this up coming book that Fang and Max's romance keeps increasing right into book five. I can't wait until it comes out!!! I love Max and Fang's relationship and I think they need more alone time in the books.
70 - tammy
If anyone does know when the fifth MR book will be coming out????? please let me know.
71 - MRFan
Don't know when the fifth MR book is coming out.
And Maximumrideluver34...i totally agree with you...it was not like any of the other MAximum Ride books. I don't want Max's expiration date to appear in the fifth book though! It would be nice to see her get captured and then Fang can save her! :) There should be more private moments with Max and Fang.
72 - tammy
ya I totally agree there should be more private moments between max and fang
73 - joseph
big fan of MR these books are addictive cannot put them down
p.s.when is the movie coming out
74 - joseph

75 - joseph
