The review above may say that there's a lack of plot, but that's because it's nearly impossible for there to be one. James Patterson's style of writing is unlike any other author's. He switches to different characters points of view so often the story doesn't really need a strong plot. Too much is going on for there to be a concrete plot. Ending chapters with words that leave you hanging and scrambling (sometimes not fast enough) to turn the page and start reading again, Mr. Patterson illustrates a new view of the flock as they're enrolled in school for the first time. Everybody but Max seems to quickly ease their way into the new setting, Max appears to get more and more claustrophobic and trapped feeling the longer she stays. She also turns a slight tinge of green with envy when Fang starts flirting with other girls. I recommend reading this to see the comical and amazing ways Max gets out of every tight spot; whether it be boys or insane scientists.
