oakwald 's review for:
Maximum Ride Forever
by James Patterson
So lets start with... I'm glad that James Patterson wrote this book. My opinions about it does not change the fact that so many problems left with Nevermore were resolved as well as they could be in this book. But still... I just didn't like it. I only read this book because I was a loyal Maximum Ride fan, and I basically grew up with it in my childhood. Now that I'm older with more reading experience, all I can see are immense problems with this series. Maybe it's just me... but I don't know.
To be honest, this book/series was a mess... if you really read it and notice the details. I feel like the plot of this book was thought of overnight, and James Patterson decided to put 400 pages in one sitting. While I was reading it all I could think was, "can this book finish faster?" The plot was so predictable and frustrating, and it was just.
Also, it seemed like James Patterson didn't take death seriously. I mean, if someone died, they was no possibility of them staying dead. Like when Dylan "died" in this book I literally rolled my eyes and said "yeah right". Also, I knew there was no way the flock was actually dead. Even when Fang "died", there was of course a loophole to bring him to life. This is what frustrates me the most... Obviously I don't want them dead, but when you say that someone's dead, can you at least keep them dead?
And don't even get me started with Max and Fang's baby. You're kidding right?? Okay so we got a completely vague description of Fang and Max "doing the do", and I don't even think James Patterson could make it more ill-defined if he tried to. I actually read a spoiler about Max being pregnant with Fang's baby, but i thought it was a joke. and doesn't it bother ANYONE that both Max and Fang were barely fifteen? I mean I guess they really did find their soul mate, but I just thought it was a joke. Idk.
I feel like this book was just an unnecessary installment into this series, and I feel like James Patterson could've fixed up the problems with Nevermore in maybe 100 pages and just released a short story. Everyone seems to be praising this book, and it seems that I'm the only one with an unpopular opinion...
Felt like this series had so much more potential... but yeah.

Spoiler
Okay, so it seems that throughout this entire series, whenever there was a need for a villain character, Jeb would come into play, and just show up out of nowhere. It didn't matter how many fricken times he already died, he would come back to life just to be the main antagonist again.Also, it seemed like James Patterson didn't take death seriously.
