![]() ![]() ![]() The characters aren’t living, they’re surviving. There is only one plotline I’ve ever found to be so incomplete, incomprehensible, or so filled with gaping holes, and it’s also by James Patterson, coincidentally (Confessions of a Murder Suspect). And Max is the cause of all the problems that occur in this book, rushing off like a hero in every circumstance and being quite idiotic about it, and if you read in between the lines you can detect a sort of arrogance and self-centeredness that frankly makes her not at all likable.Īnd finally, the plot. Angel is-if you read the next book or 2-starting to become some kind of monk that fails at her job and doesn’t act like a family member at all. Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggy are just THERE, only there for the benefit of making it feel a bit more like a family. ![]() Fang is the generic cool-guy who, despite being described as the pillar that the main character (Maximum Ride) relies on, did nothing. The small tidbits of humor inserted into the story add nothing to it-and in most cases, aren’t even funny. The massive ones, the ones that made the story not even worth bothering to read. But even reading the book as a 9-year-old I easily identified the flaws while reading the story. It might be surprising, given James Patterson’s reputation as both a great author and a popular one. ![]()
