 WORST Book Ever!!! November 18, 2008
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.
Big Letdown - Stop after 3rd book, while you're still happy November 5, 2008
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.

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.
 Keeping It Up September 27, 2008

I was surprised to learn that James Patterson had come out with another chapter of the Maximum Ride series, but after reading it I was certainly not disappointed. Patterson keeps many things consistent and unchanged. The flock is still the same old flock, and Max is still the same old Max. I found myself busting up laughing at all of her witty and sarcastic comments, which I had always found hilarious in the previous Maximum Ride novels. And I continued to love her defiant, stubborn, determined nature. Max still refuses to take anything lying down at the hands of adults who don't understand anything about her or the flock and want to just coop them up and study them. Patterson also kept my interest hooked by keeping up the hunt for Max and the flock, this time with the Uber-Director and Gozen. However the action isn't as strong as in the other Maximum Ride novels and doesn't make a real strong appearance in this one until the end. Patterson also takes a very clear environmental stance, which I don't care for so much. The Max and Fang relationship remains unnecessarily complicated on Max's end, which does aggravate me some, but seeing as they are both somewhere around fourteen I can understand this to a certain extent-teenagers in general tend to make relationships unnecessarily over-complicated. However, I think that all of the drawbacks that there are to The Final Warning are minor and do not take away from the novel as a whole. Overall I found it to be an exciting, entertaining, and enjoyable read.
Not as bad as some people portray it... September 23, 2008

I like this, even though I will admit it was a bit shorter than us (true fans of this series) would like it to have been. I still think it would worth the money and a good addition to the Maximum Ride series. ^__~
