The Final Warning, A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson

Spoiler Alert! In this book, the flock heads to Antarctica to help study the environment and to save the world. There's a ton of drama, action, and unexpected twists. I definitely have to say this book is exciting. I love what James Patterson brings into this book through the characters; you can tell how the flock has changed and grown through the time that has past. It's so hard not to give everything away because so much happens in this book! I have to say that some of the stuff that the flock agrees to do seems a little out of character because you wouldn't expect Max to agree to some of the things that happen, but then again it just goes to show how everyone is slowly changing and adapting to different things as time goes on. The things I really love about the books James Patterson writes, is it is so descriptive. The way he can express a characters attitide, what's going on, where they are, just everything is so good. He really shows you what's happening through his writing. I personal like how James Patterson has created these fictional characters and threw them into a realistic world. A lot of stuff that happens isn't realistic (the flying kids, the erasers, etc.), but then the stuff he says about how you haved to live isn't just made up. He encorparates real things about the environment, the way people act and react, and actual places and things. I definately recommend this book to everyone because even the most pickiest readers I know have ended up liking it.

  2. Yes, James Patterson does an awesome job of showing, not telling. He finds all kinds of ways of describing what's happening. What I really like is how also incorparates a thing called "Fang's Blog" in too. It's interesting because not only are you getting the story from Max's point of veiw, but also Fang's through his blog. For me, if I'm always reading a book from one person's point of veiw, it gets a little boring because you start guessing how that person is going to act or react. So, it's nice to get a break here and there seeing Fang's point of view. So, that's another bonus point to the Maximum Ride series.
