Three Star Rating
I read this book yesterday, and I think I'm going to have to read it again sometime, or discuss it, or something, because I'm not really clear on some things.
This is the last book in the Maximum Ride series, the very last. It kind of alarmed me when I got the book and on the cover there was a sticker that said R.I.P on it. Were people going to die?
What's so great about it?
The book flipped between Max's first-person point of view, Fang's third-person point of view, and Angel's third-person point of view. I liked Max's the best, as she is always so sarcastic and hilarious.
The writing did hold me in, with the combination of Max's point of view and the pretty much non-stop action, which I liked a lot. In some of the previous books, the action had gone down a bit, and I was glad to see it back. I did cry, though not as much as when I was reading Fang and Angel.
I would have never guessed some things that happened. I started reading this book, got stuck, and was surprised every other chapter. It was like all of the predictions that I had made where not even relevant anymore.
I realized how much I am attached to these characters. They are truly phenomenal, and I am so sad to know that there are no more adventures to go on with them.
What's not so great about it?
At the end of the book, I asked myself, was Max's goal accomplished? I felt as if I needed some explanatory page at the end of the book to tell me what had happened. The whole series has been turned around in this one book, and I feel like Max has been forced to do what she never wanted to do.
The fact that I got no scientific explanation about a certain event bothered me. I will wonder forever now why this happened. I will still be thinking in twenty years, in fact, if no one clears it up for me.
I wanted more scenes with the whole Flock in them, not just ones with Fang, Max, and Dylan. The whole book was pretty much centered around those three.
