Kurzbeschreibung
Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel, six extraordinary kids who can fly, are back for another wild adventure as they try to save the world ...and themselves. Maximum Ride and the other members of the Flock have barely recovered from their last arctic adventure, when they are confronted by the most frightening catastrophe yet. Millions of fish are dying off the coast of Hawaii and someone - or something - is destroying hundreds of ships. Unable to discover the cause, the government enlists the Flock to help them get to the bottom of the disaster before it is too late. While Max and her team are exploring the depths of the ocean, their every move is being carefully tracked by Mr. Chu - a criminal mastermind with his own plans for the Flock. Can they protect themselves from Mr. Chu's army of mercenaries and save the ocean from utter destruction?

Format:Taschenbuch
"Maximum Ride: Max" von James Patterson ist ein hervorragendes Buch. Es ist spannend und interessant geschrieben, abwechslungsreich und eben in einem besonders fesselnden Stil. Das einzige was stört, ist, dass die Handlung ein klitzekleines Bisschen verwirrend ist, da man nicht so genau weis wer hinter all dem steht und ob der Bösewicht irgendeine Verbindung mit den vorherigen Widersachern hat. Ich weis nicht ob das im Nachfolgeband aufgelöst wird, aber ich habe es schon als verwirrend empfunden. Sonst ist der Roman wirklich erstklassig.

Ich habe alle Bücher der Maximum Ride-Serie gelesen und fand dieses das langweiligste und die Geschichte echt zu weit hergeholt. War ist, das es eh eine sehr fiktive Serie ist, aber das ganze Bla Bla um die Seemonster, etc fand ich echt doof und auch einen eigentlichen Showdown gab es keinen. Auch die Liebesgeschichte um Fang und Max ist sehr plump geschrieben. Ich hätte von James Patterson mehr erwartet denn ich bin ein mega Fan.
Seine Cross-Serie liebe ich, ebenso wie jene um den Womens Murder Club. Diese sind immer sehr spannend, gut geschrieben und gut recherchiert. Daher war bei diesem Buch wohl die Enttäuschung umso grösser...schade!

Not great, not bad.
28. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Like a lot of other readers, I was skeptical picking up this book. The 4th book was about global warming and it was one giant political message. This book wasn't nearly as bad. There was still some global warming and pollution messages however, it's not nearly as bad. Unlike the 4th book, they had a purpose in this book. I don't want to spoil anything from the book, but this time around, the flock was working to actually save something important to them.
This book isn't perfect though. The book is focused around Max, Fang, and Angel. Some of the other characters, such as Iggy and the Gasman, were almost ignored.
Also, the flock seems to have a change in personality. Before, they were kids trying to survive, now they're brats. The flock was still sarcastic and funny, but they were mean to almost all of the adults in the book. All of the characters seemed a little off, like their personality changed between books.
There is definetly more romance in this book. I won't spoil anything. But, I can assure you that romance lovers won't be dissapointed.
Overall, it's not a bad book. Not great either. It's an improvement over the 4th Maximum Ride book. But the political message is still there. The characters seem a little different as well. But the book is still exciting and entertaining. I recommend this book to any of the Maximum Ride fans, you might want to save your money and wait for it to show up at the library.

Maximum Ride is Back on Track.
17. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Picking up this book, I was skeptical. Can anyone remember the fourth book, The Final Warning, and how much we all disliked it? I was ready for another 309 pages of disappointment.
But boy, was I wrong. This book is great, and the series is one its way to redemption. The story starts out slow, and actually, the whole first 50 pages don't make sense. But later on, the plot gets fast paced and exciting, and the romance will make your heart flutter (there's a lot more of it this time around and, in my opinion, I loved it... you can guess between who!).
There are messages about global warming, but there's so small and subtle that you have to squint to see them. It actually leaves you with a feeling that, "Oh, yeah, it does exist, and I feel bad," instead of, "Stop shoving it in my face, book!"
My only complaint was this: did there seem to be some favoritism in the characters? Like, I noticed the Gasman was centralized in the story and always there, of course in addition to first-person narrator Max. So was Angel and Fang. But there seemed to be a huge limited amount of Iggy and Nudge. Maybe it was just me, and if you happen to like those four characters, great. But I am an Iggy fan, and he barely had, like, four lines.
Anyway, the ending of this book was such a cliffhanger. I can't give away much without spoiling it, but please just go and read it. I cannot absolutely wait for the next one, now that I know the series is back on track and likely won't pull a huge flop like The Final Warning. Can the next book come any sooner?
Bravo, James Patterson, Max is glad to have to back on track!

Great Read-Aloud Adventure
18. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
My kids are a bit on the younger side (6 & 9 years old) but these books are fantastic to read aloud to them- they have serious appeal for almost any age and touch on topics that are of universal importance. I love that not only are there charaters and situations that I can relate to, but so can my 6-year-old.
What I like most is the high-flying(no pun intended) adventure and how I can leave my girls hanging, literally begging for another chapter. Makes it easy to come back to again and again- much as I hate to put it down at all(Ok, I read it straight through myself, first- what's a mom to do?). We have something to look forward to the next night!
All our favorite characters are back, though as one reviewer commented, not all get as much play time but I felt like in this book there was a good deal more character development. Don't want to ruin anything but the romance angle kept even me(old mom) interested.
I am a big fan of Total who provides alot of comic relief. Patterson has the fast pace and well-timed humor down pat in this book. The language flows easily and yet isn't 'dumbed down' and something about the way Patterson write makes me feel like I'm right there with Max and the rest of the 'flock'.
It's fast, it's fun and it has a little something for everyone- heros, heroines, villians and even a flying dog. Can it get any better than that?
