Nothing like the other 3.... - By: Dracilla, 30 Oct 2008 
After reading the other 3 fantastic installments to the series, I was over the moon when this book came out, because I for some reason thought that the third one was the end book. To be honest, at the moment I wish it was!
It's like Patterson has got bored halfway through his own series, & is now writing down any old drivle to put on the shelves! The other 3 books seemed well thought over & the plots, I thought, were amazing. I mean, the least Patteron could have done was make this book as LONG as its predecesors, this ones half the size, with DOUBLE the size of writing! I finished itin about 2 hours, & no way was I as gripped with this book as I was with the others. Also,in this book, everything is so rushed! I mean, why is everyone suddenly getting powers! They hardly ever got ANYin the other 3, why chuck it at them all now! And they didn't even USE them throughout any of the book! The villian is also completely random...there is not other way to describe him. Where the heck did he come from!? There is no connection whatsoever! And it's all about Global Warming!!! I mean, any fiction book about Global Warming is bad news. I know it's bad, Patterson, but so does everyone else! We don't need YOU to tell us! Just stick to the fiction please! PLUS...They start working for the government.... I found that soo unbeleivable, since the flock are always going on about how they hate it & all that!
Overall, up against the other 3 this would get a 1 star, while the others get 5, since they were some of the best books I have ever read! I give this a 3 star because I still found it hilariousin places. At least Patterson managed to keep a bit of humour! Thank God. I think Patterson is going to lose some fans over this one!
Good but..... - By: Millions :-) (of books), 30 Sep 2008 I have read all the other 3 books of Maximum ride, & they are brilliant books. But when I read this, I was a bit let down, as i felt that the author only really wrote the book to tell it's readers about Global Warming. It was a bit of a let down. The first 3 books are the Brill!! A must read
What a terrible Ghostwriter! Do Not Buy! - By: M. Mokrysz, 16 Aug 2008 
This book is awful. The plot is terrible, the book's terrible... the ghostwriting is even worse than book 3.
Maximum Ride 3 & 4 are nothing like books 1 & 2. 1/2 were an unrealistic idea (the wings)in a realistic world. Books 3/4 on the other hand are an unrealistic topicin an unrealistic world. Just look at book 3 - they're captured, it's all been a dream, it's not a dream, or is it, etc etc.
Blatently Ghostwritten by an author terrible with children's books. What Patterson has done with almost all his recent books is to write them with someone else - though judging from the fact that all these "with" books have littlein common with any of Patterson's writing styles, & that they seem to bring out a new one every week, Patterson doesn't even read any of them.
