it was ok [Posted on 2008-10-07]
it wasnt as satisfying as i thought it would be. the book was short and the plot wasnt that great. the villain doesnt really exist until for about 30 to 40 pages. but still the overall book was good and it was like a mini version of the books. it was still worth reading. heads up for water wings on march 2009.

Big Letdown - Stop after 3rd book, while you're still happy [Posted on 2008-11-05]
I work in a middle-school library and I have exuberantly recommended the Max Ride series to our students. I will NOT recommend Final Warning. If I wanted an environmental message, I would have rented "Happy Feet". Patterson's obvious priority was sending an environment message rather than continuing the high energy, fast-paced, riotously sarcasm-filled STORY of the first 3 books. All of these attributes were non-existent in Final Warning. Found myself skipping sections and feeling disappointed throughout the book. Like I said, stop while you're happy, don't read beyond the 3rd book.

WORST Book Ever!!! [Posted on 2008-11-18]
I can't believe how bad this book was. The first 3 Maximum Ride books were exciting and made me wanting more. Unfortunately, I purchased book 4 and now I wish this was just a trilogy. Very disappointing.

Global Warming [Posted on 2008-11-19]
Throughout this book James clearly shows his opinions for global warming. The whole book consisted of the author showing his opinion by having the children "fight global warming". Now I am undecided as to weather (haha) or not I believe that global warming is real so this isn't at all a biased review. I just am kind of disappointed that this book didn't keep true to it's origins and instead it just spent the book conveying Patterson's personal (very Democratic) views on the way this country should be run.

*SMALL SPOILER*

Also, at the end of the book Max gives this big long speech (that we are supposed to believe is being made up on the spot) about every little thing the author believes is wrong. From the U.S. not ratifying the Kyoto agreement, to the U.S.'s choice in power sources. Max states all these random facts such as "Soon we will have to visit the Eiffel Tower by canoe". It gets really annoying and repetitive and truthfully I am disappointed with this book. He changed the character Maximum from a tough as nails super women to a boring politician, in one book.

Wonderful book to share with your children [Posted on 2008-11-23]
Absolutely loved it! Both my son (11) and I have fallen in love with these books, they are great to read together, or by yourself and be able to come back and discuss what is happening and how it effects our world and our lives. Can't wait for the next one!
