I was hesitant to read the fourth book in the Maximum Ride series because of mixed reviews that I read and also because I had thought the story was over after the third book. But even from the remotest place on earth, Max and her flock are still targets because whoever controls the flock controls the world. Max and the flock join up with a team of scientists in Antarctica studying the effects of global warming. Unknown enemies are still trying to kill and/or capture them to use the flying mutants to gain power, and other influential people want to control them.

Max and the flock are back again in another wild adventure. Not reccomended unless your a die-hard fan.

There is nothing remotely similar to the first three books in The Final Warning but for the main characters and that they still have wings. This is a man's sad attempt at trying to relate to young kids, and failing miserably at it. This is one of those corny short stories they put on state reading comprehension tests. The dialogue, the plot, the villains, the characters-this is not the Maximum Ride I fell in love with. Now, it seems their just there so Patterson can get all self-rigteous, and then blame it on the characters. It's basically James Patterson preaching about Global Warming for less then two-hundred pages, with sloppy characterazation and-sorry, but there wasn't any real characterazation to begin with. The Final Warning was a huge disapontment for me I loved the Maximum Ride series, because I loved the idea of a bunch of kids running from the Big Baddies, when the law is against them and so are the odds. This specific book was MADE for you science people. Penguins, tornadoes, and even some sightseeing. + And the most annoying thing of all: Being underestimatedįor all of you global warming fans and science lovers, this is basically what the book is all about. + Being stuck in Antarctica surrounded by white, white, white + Know- It- All older women who make Fang puppy eyed when clearly Max should be the one making his knees weak

+ An army of programmed bullies who flex their muscles on little kids + Subhuman billionaires with floating body parts and a penchant for world domination With the help of a group of environmentalists ( who just might be trustworthy) and the flocks evolving powers, Max could even tackle a problem as big as global warming- but a few things keep getting in her way. Turns out retirement is kind of boring for the flock- especially when the planet needs to be saved and they are not the only ones who are capable of doing it. The thrill ride was not over when Max and her flock of winged kids flew off into the sunset at the end of Saving The World And Other Extreme Sports.
