So who has read this awesome series by James Patterson?
The book Angel just came out. I'm going to get it just as soon as I finish my Fang book, or on my birthday, whichever comes first.

On my Fang book it said that Angel was coming out on Valentine's day.

I've read all the books except Angel. I like them, but they need more story. It seems to jump a lot.
This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Ride) says that Angel came out on 2/14/2011. This (http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_maximumRideSeven.php) is where you can buy the book online so it should be out. Just not every place has it.

Thank you. And yes it does seem to jump a lot, but he's a really amazing writer so he manages to make it work.

Honestly, it is a good book. But I've finished all of the books within 3 days each. They all have enough story in it to be stretched out to at least 500 pages so the way he's doing it, he's ripping the readers off.
Otherwise yes, he is a great writer. Daniel X is proof that he can write better than what he does in Maximum Ride. But I love Maximum Ride so much, I'm saddened by the fact that he won't write more.

Yeah. I honestly think the series is coming to a close. And yea he should write more. There are also quiet a few loose ends and stuff that he's never really wrapped up.

The way he's writing, it'll probably only end because he's bored writing it. There's still a lot of story to be told if he got new umph.
And I agree. It's just the way Maximum Ride is written though and that's why I say he could write them with like 500 pages each. He skips around from chapter to chapter and I kind of get lost for a second before I know what's going on.
The first 3 books were the best. He lost it after them.

I may pick it up soon, then.

I kinda got lost after the whole Fang and Max hook up. :/ Its a good plot, but he kinda lost me when he took Fang out of the flock and made Max kinda annoying after that. I think the first four were the best. The other problem is most of the chapters are only like two or three short pages long...also you have any idea when the fourth MR Graphic Novel comes out?

Fang and Max made a good couple, but also kind of increased flock tension and I could see how that would work. Fang should have stayed and I agree, Max got annoying. She used to be so cool and now she's girly (not that that's a bad thing ladies...).
Yes. That's also proof that he could write more. 2-3 pages for a chapter is completely pointless. He could do better.
I actually didn't know there were Maximum Ride Graphic Novels. The best place to check for dates would be Wiki or the official website.

Alright.
And I agree they were a cool couple. Its when he threw Dylan in there it started getting annoying.

Agreed. Dylan is a cool guy, but Max got really girly when he came in. It would have been a good addition if the book actually revolved around love. It doesn't though. It's about fighting and dying.
It wasn't mixed in very well, but that may just be me stereotyping against the length of the book.

Don't buy it. Not worth it. Check it out from the library though. It's still a good read.

Ive read the first few chapters on the official sight. Its alright. Apparently one of the characters from the 3rd book decided to come back.

Well, Zero, they add a new member into the Flock that is supposed to be the perfect other half of Max. Also, there's a freaky scientist who can heal people instantly, but that's all I have to say. You can base your decision off of that if you want.
Also, it wasn't that I didn't want to provide any proof, it's just that I didn't feel like scanning the book cover onto the computer. It takes to much time since the scanner is upstairs, and then I have to scan it, after that I'd have to find it in the weird folder it gets sent to, and finally I'd have to have my grandpa send it to me (since it's his computer/printer.) I just couldn't provide proof.
