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 understand me getting spiderman because im kinda a nerd
...but for Dr. Doom it said I was blessed with great strength and intelligence but ... for every single one dealing with being conceited I put "no" oh well my 2nd villain was Mr. Freeze and my 2nd hero was green lantern
1377 - nottelling
Green Lantern and Mr. Freeze were kinda down the list for me. Okay, so in the new Max book, does Max turn 15 yet? In the first book, she says she's 6 months older than Iggy. In the Final Warning, she says they've been on the run for about 6 months. So even if their ages are estimated, wouldn't Max be assumed to be 15? And really, in the span of 6 months you'd think SOMEONE would age.
1378 - What?
to tell you the truth, I don't know. I would think so. But when you are dealing with what max was going though you tend not to think about it.
Okay about the superhero thing, yes I am a nerd, geek, whatever... but I don't look like it!!! and the other one, I don't really care honestly.

in the new book max and angel get in fight over their ages and angel says shes 7 and max says she could be 17 yadayada well never know our real ages yadayada
1380 - nottelling
Oh, so they do address the whole age thing. It's just a little weird cuz in TAE Max clearly says Fang is 4 months younger than her, and Iggy is 6 months younger than her. And then in the later books she claims they don't know at all what ages they really are.
1381 - nottelling
Oh, and BTW, according to Fang on his blog there will be a 6th book coming out in about a year.

I just found my new favorite quote ever!
I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert.

Brings back memories of all the goldfish I've killed under a week...
My fave book quote:
Ann: You're a fully grown wizard in full command of your power- Why in the name of Creation would you need a sword?
Nathan: Because I would look dashing with a sword at my hip.

Random quotes:"Stupidity killed the cat. Curiousity was framed."
"The newscaster is the person who says "Good evening" and then tells you why it's not."
Sorry, I've actually got a lot...
1387 - What?
I just kill plants... a lot.
1388 - nottelling
Probably better than goldfish though.
And did you know that if you type 'find Chuck Norris' into google, and click the I'm feeling lucky button, google refuses to do the search? I just found out about it, and it's completely weird.
1389 - nottelling
Completely RANDOM comments, but there's not much more Maximum Ride we can talk about...

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

1400th comment!
1401 - What?
I have to perform "High School Musical 1" in like three weeks!!! yay(voice dripping with sacasim at that, I hate HSM!)
quick question, what do you do if you get a advanced readers coppy of a book, that you were one of the top like 20 out of 60 kids to get the AR coppy of the book, that you hate and you have to tell the author what you think about it? Should I lie, don't want to crush the poor guy!!! I just dont like it. Not my style. I feel really bad.
1402 - Shahz
Hey ppls, Saturday today, 11pm, got exams in a couple of weeks...so much revision..groan...back to school on Monday...more groaning...
Shahz o.0
1403 - nottelling
I feel for ya Shahz, I've got a bunch of reviewing, and exams start Friday for. And it's kinda weird because it's Saturday 8:45pm for me.
Um, What?, I suppose if you just say why you don't like the book... nicely... and maybe mention some things you did like? If there were any.
Sorry, I'm not really good with advice.
1404 - nottelling
Whoa, where'd everyone go? If anyone comes back here, I got a fanfiction account! I'm so excited!
1405 - What?
I did like the book... I've been reading, and memorzing lines like crazy the past couple of days... sorry!!!
In HSM I got the part of Taylor, smart girl... odly enough it fits.
I've been trying to post something, but I keep getting interrupted... sorry!
1406 - nottelling
I'd really, really appreciate it if you'd read and review my story on fanfiction.net. I do allow anonymous reviews. The story is called No Regrets by StephanieZorander, and it is a Maximum Ride story. I've only got two reviews so far, but I've gotten a few Story Alerts/Favorites. I'd sooo appreciate it!
1407 - Shahz
Hey ppls, I'll try and get on to that nottelling, and What? Congrats...I suppose..? Exams next week...yay... Some of them are GCSE exams...wish me luck...oh well...
Shahz -_-
1408 - nottelling
Oh my gosh, thanks so much Shahz! You'll probably get another thank you in the next chapter I add, but I want to tell you here too. You're right, I did rush it because I was trying to get the plot going, but reading over it again I see I did skip a lot of details. I'll try and work on that.
I hope you do great on your exams!I'm hoping I do great on MY exams. I had to look up what GCSE exams were, since I don't have those. Good luck with everything!
1409 - What?

1410 - What?
I don't know how fanfiction works... sorry, I would love love love to read your story... but I don't know how the hell(excuse language please) I'm supposed to search it... I don't have an account, Sorry?
1411 - What?
I keep forgeting stuff... my brain is fried!!!

2)Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!!! Nottelling!!! I'm awful I know I know, I can't do freakin' anything on sites like those!
3)Good luck Shaz!!! Finals suck!!!
4)Workin' on new book right now, and need help!!! It's about NERDs but not any old nerds(hence the capitol letters) that's all I'll say for right now.
5)I need you to say for me"Break a Leg What?!" On the 11th and the 12th, that's the day of HSM!!! Freaking out right now!

And also thank you that is so sweet of you guys. I'm kind of freaking out right now about HSM. I'll get over it.
Great story, and happy last week of school!!!
1415 - nottelling
Thanks What?!!! Yeah, I must admit I'm not so great with sarcasm, but I'll try. I really do need advice like that though because this is the first time I've ever tried to write a whole story for other people to see.
Just have fun with the HSM thing!
1416 - What?
ummmm, that could be hard... I got a ton of free books though, yay!!!
1417 - What?
Almost forgot, I can teach you how to write sarcasm, Shaz might be willing to do so to... although you might have to ask really nicely, really really really nicely(shaz I'm asking you to help too right now... please?)
For the time being What? out.
