Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James PattersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Goodreads Synopsis:
In the third installment of James Patterson's Maximum Ride series, the time has arrived for Max and her winged "Flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?
My Review:
What is the one thing you are not supposed to do in a horror movie? Split up. What does the flock do? Split up. This was a stupid move, however, it did allow us to get to see Fang more as an individual, rather than Max's second in command.
In the end, things worked out and everyone is back together. I have a hard time visualizing the flock as 14 years and younger, especially when a spark of romance is worked into the storyline. I wish they had been written just a little bit older. Otherwise, no more complaints, as this was a quick and entertaining read.
Favorite Quotes:
“Basically, I have two speeds.... Hostile or smart-aleck. Your choice.”
“I don't damsel well. Distress, I can do. Damseling? Not so much.”
“The trick to having obedient, unquestioning children was to have death be the other option”
“There you have it: our lives in a nutshell. Emphasis on nut.”
“On the other hand, sometimes a happy delusion is better than grim reality.”
