Well, I have dove back into the Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson. With a series like this, I usually get bored around the 3rd or 4th book so I'm trying to force myself to stay focused.
So far, so good. The series is written for a teenage audience and is an easy read and right now is keeping my interest with the action and our six winged kids staying on the move. In this book the flock finds themselves whisked away by a government agent who tries to get them to live like normal kids. Predictably, she turns out to be one of "them" and the flock is once again on the run. But before that happens, Max has her first date, which makes Fang jealous. Fang has a little admirer which makes Max jealous, and we see the introduction of Fang's blog which plays a major part in the plot in later books.
The teen romance between Fang and Max is blossoming nicely and we have many mysteries introduced, such as, who are their real parents and will Iggy's parents come back in later books to try and exploit him again. Angel develops more and more talents like being able to breathe under water (I think all these special skills with come handy in the future). We also discover that Ari (Max's supposed brother) is still alive even though she snapped his neck in the last book. And Ari has some secrets of his own, like a voice in his head as well. Who is the voice, or I should say voices, that keep telling Max and Ari what they should do next?
I can't wait to start reading the next book - Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports . I give it a 4 out of 5 overall for keeping my attention, but not doing a great job of surprising me.
