The Final Warning: Maximum Ride: The Protectors, Book 1

This book was amazing. My daughter Ava loved it though it was a little to mature for an eight year old I recomend it for other kids. Ava is always at our Saint Johnson Library now. give it 5 stars.

Not only is this book well-written and great for pre-teen and teens, it's also educational, like, how many of you guys knew that recycling one aluminum can can produce enough energy to operate a TV for three hours before you read this book? I personally love this whole series!

So, idk why this series has horrible ratings like, No plot and, won't leave kids wanting more, cuz I KNOW I TOTALLY LOVED THIS SERIES I have read all 9 books and they are all sooooooo amazing. I seriously can't continue trying to describe maximum ride without getting overly excited and start screaming. There is violence but nothing an 8 year old couldn't handle. I started reading this series when I was 10, and fell in love with it. LITERALLY I REALLLY WANT WINGS NOW! (Just a warning there is some making out described in later books but nothing bad)

Common Sense hasn't added the rest of the series to their website (there are 4 more books) but I will just give this entire series a review. I thought that this series was going to be epic and full of action, but James Patterson left countless of loose ends untied. It went from saving the world and epic battles to saving the penguins and polar bears! Not to mention that their super powers kept magically disappearing throughout the series, and I was done after reading outrageous conclusion to the series in Nevermore. I am, to say the least, disappointed. Like I said in the title, Save Yourself, Don't Read this!

Good book, fights with other mutant creatures and robots. Dating relationships. One of my favorite books :)

maximum ride is for 3rd grade to 9th grade or older

The CommonSenseMedia reviews have been very underrated with the first three books but I've gotta say they were pretty close this time. The Final Warning was a huge letdown after The Angel Experiment, School's Out- Forever, and Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports. The main plot was just the flock hanging around Antarctica thinking about global warming and Max getting up Fang for talking to some annoying young doctor, and to be honest that and Angel's mindless fall-into-the-crevice was about the most interesting part of it. I agree with CSM that it was pointless for Nudge and Gazzy to develop the 'powers' that are not needed at all throughout the rest of the series. If Patterson wants them to have such abilities there should be more of a point to them than filling up a couple of chapters to talk about them. If I'd known it was going to be this bad I wouldn't have bothered buying it. I wouldn't have missed anything. I was a huge fan of the first 3 books and they are still my favourites EVER, but this book was a waste of my time. The fifth book, MAX, also wasn't that great. Hadn't Max and Fang gotten together in that book would there have been any point in bothering with it either. This book has no real plot (who buys a sci-fi action $30 James Patterson novel to learn about Global Warming? We can find out about this fictional problem through the ABC on TV) and definitely isn't engaging. I read the first three books in 1-2 days, and this one was half the size but took me 5. If you're looking at buying this one, don't bother. You could skip right to the sixth book and miss nearly nothing.

This is by far the most terrible Max Ride book. It is basically a pamphlet on global warming. I read this in one day during Hurricane Sandy. I still enjoyed it because of the characters, though. BUT WAIT! Don't stop reading the series because this book. The next book, MAX, is not as good either, but it is worth it to read the last 3 books, FANG, ANGEL, and NEVERMORE. These last books go back to the awesome action, humor and romance of the first 3 books. While NEVERMORE had a crappy ending, it was still good. So even though this book sucks, it's worth it to read the last 3 books, which are amazing.

I don't care that this book wasn't very good, I still loved it! (if that makes any sense :P) yes it's a filler but it still features some of the best characters in young adult fiction. And I found it very educational, believe it or not! I love this series.

MY FISTS ARE CLENCHED AND IM GRITTING MY TEETH I LOVE THIS BOOK SOOOOO MUCH AND I AM DYING FOR THE NEXT BOOK TO COME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
