First she was watched.
In this breathtaking new story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson, a girl has to save herself from an army assembled just to capture her-and maybe save the planet while she's at it.
Then she was threatened.
Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control genetic experiment. Max and the other members of the the flock-five kids who share her remarkable ability-have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the effects of global warming. The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism-and escape from the government forces that are watching the flock all the time...

I absolutely loved that first three Maximum Ride books. However, I was disappointed in the fourth one. It lacked what made the first three books so good. They were all action packed, full or sarcasm and witty "Max moments", and it seemed to be one of the few series in which the author really knew what they were doing. The Final Warning was very different from that. There wasn't as much action, Max lost some of her character, and it really seemed like James Patterson wasn't sure where he was going with the plot. Overall, I was extremely dissapointed, and I hope he has enough sense to make the possible fifth book better.

I completely agree. I mean honestly when she and her flock got captured by Gozen and stuff, she was talking about how they couldnt even really put up a good fight. It was stupid. I mean, seriously. Ella wasnt even in the story. she was mentioned like, twice and Dr. Martinez wouldnt have left her alone in Arizona while they were in D.C. and Dr. Martrinez is starting to go evil i think which totally sucks. Plus WHAT THE HECK DOES HE MEAN, JEB"S NOT THE VOICE????? Where the heck did he come up with something idiotic like that. PLUSSSSSS it took me 45 min. to read.
