Another good installment of this series.
James Patterson is still walking a fairly thin line though, and I'm kind of doubting he'll ever reach the heights of the first three books again. The characters are still themselves, but sometimes they seem to waver a little, and there are still a couple moments of out-of-character oddness here and there. The plot becomes a bit more hectic with every novel, with new problems, characters, and villains popping out of the crevices, and very few previous plot points explained or revisited. But the general heart of Maximum Ride is still there, although the humor was not quite as rampant.
I both liked and disliked the ending. I have to hand it to Patterson for fulfilling the teaser for this book while still averting the wrath of fans, and also throwing in a twist probably no one saw coming. Quite emotional, actually, for a novel usually far more focused on action. At the same time, it does feel a little sudden and unnecessary. I hope Patterson is able to take his story in a good direction and make use of the new plot points introduced here.
