Maximum Ride Series Author: James Patterson


Looking for a good read? Try the Maximum Ride Series. A series made up of a complex eight books, James Patterson constructed a jewel. These books are fast paced, and if you’re looking for action and bit of a love triangle, be sure to check them out!
            The series starts of with Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, and continues with School’s Out Forever, Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, The Final Warning, Max, Fang, Angel, and Nevermore. May I add, our library has all of the books stacked up on their shelves!
            The books are set during a futuristic era, a world where mutants and enhanced children roam the world and evil scientists think only of themselves. Maximum Ride, the main character, is the strongest of them all. Scientists created her only for their good, but they made a terrible mistake. They made Maximum too strong, her mind too fantastic—and she knows so much, she knows right from wrong. She knows what the scientists are doing is wrong, so she, and her closest friends, will do whatever they can to stop them. It’s not an easy task, and not everything goes according to plan.
            I really enjoyed this series. For me, though, I didn’t really get into it until the fourth or fifth book because it was so fast paced and I wasn’t really used to that. James Patterson, the author, is known for writing his books in such a fast paced way, and I know a lot of people who enjoy reading books who don’t drag it out too long; it’s all about preference, people! James Patterson’s characters gave this book meaning and value—they were relatable and not indestructible. They each had their own flaws, likes and dislikes, and although they had 2% of avian gene in them, they still were human.
            After reading this series, it’ll have you thinking about it for days come. Give it a try, really, take some time out of your day to start this series! Don’t be lazy, read it to your dog, your cat, your hamster! I’m sure Grandma would enjoy the story and would love to hear your lovely voice! And remember: Maximum Ride for the win!
