Praise for Patterson- Maximum Ride by James Patterson (Best Sellers)

Series are one of the greatest things that have ever happened to the reading community. It opens up the pretense for a book to a have longer story without being off putting by a huge numerical amounts of pages. Also, if the reader does not like the first book in the series they don't have to continue, but the author has a continued 'excuse' to continue writing this story. Allowing for more character development, plot twists, dynamic dialogue and a` deeper view into the world of their lyrical creation.

One series that I could not put down and still can't stop revisiting is a young adult series about winged children who have to escape the hands of experimentation. The flock of them must travel around in hopes of finding out their past and a future home. But no matter where they turn and hide or fight, trouble finds them. The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, a well love and skilled artist. I picked it up on a whim and thanks to his amazing story telling voice of drama, suspense and action, I can't resist any book he has wrote, young adult and adult.

This book was a fantastical tie of the modern era with the conspiracy theory fantasy we all question now and again. The world compromised of realism that makes the fantasy aspects horrifying real at time adds a spice of questioning my own life into the book, which I love. Also, there is not only 1-2 main characters, there are 6-7 different main characters, each with their own backgrounds, story mechanics, voices in writing, dynamic personalities and personal specialties. Most books that have so many characters either end one of two ways: is was too confusing, sounds really forced. Though Mr. Patterson is well crafted in intermingling the characters so we learn on our own and fall in love with the characters.

My only complaint, if I had to come out with any, is that this is a very specific type of story and writing, with a lot of surface information with deep veins of thought, foreshadowing, and conspiracy. Not everyone can read this book and enjoy it as much as I did, because though it is an easy read, there is a lot of between the line information you cannot miss, so pay attention.

I highly suggest this series for if you have the time to get sucked in an binge in a conspiracy-fantasy-realistic-teen series. Because I certainly did and am glad that I did.
