"Read this fully understanding that it would be as substantial as cotton candy, but even so finished the book (in about 3 hours) rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness of it all. It's not even worth detailing the plot holes, improbabilities, and unrealistic behaviors of apparently responsible adults: they comprise pretty much the whole book! I will mention just one: the tagline says (something to the effect of) "If Max lives, the world lives: it's that simple." Um, No, it wasn't. She didn't put an end to any apocalyptic plots at all: just saved her mom and provided some minor irritation to another villain while discovering a few more random super powers she and her flock have along the way. I mean, where's the truth in advertising? ;) After I finished I realized what would make this series better: it ought to be a comic book! Seriously! The pacing is perfect, the dialog and situations would work much better, and people wouldn't be so focused on the ridiculous impossibilities. Mr. Patterson, are you listening? ;)"
"After ordering this book at the library in March, it finally came in yesterday. I was incredibly excited and started it immediately. And then I finished it. What a letdown it was! If I were simply comparing this book to the fourth book, it would get four or five stars. But I'm writing a review, so it gets two stars. And here's why:
1. Nothing makes sense anymore. Why did the flock develop superpowers? There is absolutely no explanation for that. Especially the gills. Gills? Seriously?
2. The series has officially turned green. And by that, I mean eco-friendly. Of course, I'm all for going green and everything, but the Maximum Ride series isn't a good place to teach kids about global warming. At this point, the series is just a PSA, but with a new twist--flying children. How exciting!
3. I miss the old days of Maximum Ride, when nobody knew about their avian DNA and surviving was a challenge. Now, they're admired and coddled everywhere they go.
4. The characters were a lot more interesting in the first three books. Now, they're just Mary-Sues.
I could go on for a while, but I'll move on to the kind part of this review. I gave this book two stars and not one because:
1. Total and Akila. I just thought that they were incredibly cute together.
2. Max and Fang. All I can say is, yay!
3. As I stated earlier, this was a huge improvement over the fourth book.
Overall, it isn't the worst book I've ever read. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it."
"This book is AMAZING! Best one of the whole series. I'm so happy about the way he describes the relationship of Fang and Max. I'm actually somewhat jealous."
