Maximum Ride Forever
by James Patterson
I just... I've never been so confused by a book before. This entire series, no matter the awful things that happened, still managed to be what I would consider kid friendly (and I use that term very loosely). Deaths and wounds were usually glazed over, or at least not explained in gruesome detail. This book is a complete juxtaposition of that. From the very beginning, the bleak reality of life after the apocalypse is presented without reserve. Wounds are more grotesque. More "adult" topics are explored. I MEAN ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? MAX. PREGNANT?! AND DYLAN KILLING HIMSELF????? . I just can't believe how this books so different from the rest.
In the end, all I seem to have noticed is that the only person that gets their happy ending is Max. Everyone else suffers massive losses. But Max gets her happy ending. To me, this feels like fan service on Patterson's part. There are so many loose ends. So many explained plot lines. So many faults.
After (re)reading all nine books in the span of less than a week, I can't even find the words to explain how shocked I am. This book is so unlike the rest. And not in a good way, in my opinion. I'm speechless. Maybe this is because I've read so much in the past few days, it's 2 AM, and I'm leaving to go back to college for another hellish semester in 7 hours, but I think even if I were more clear-headed I would have the same opinion. This ending sucked.
If you were looking for a light and fluffy conclusion to this series, this is not it.
