Product Description

Review

'Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination.'

(New York Times Book Review )

Product Description

You're about to join the adventures of Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel, six extraordinary kids who have powers like no other: they can fly, and they're being chased - no, hunted - across America and around the world.


 


THIS IS THE END, MY FRIENDS.


 


But I promise that you'll fly higher than ever before in this wild adventure, witness battles worthy of multiplex movie screens, and laugh until your sides hurt. There's even a little romance... 


 


But all good things - and even terrible, unspeakable ones - must come to an end. This is that moment in time, I'm afraid. Either we save the world, or we crash and burn. And I mean all of us - even you, faithful reader, because you play a very big part in this story. 


 


The flock needs your help. Yes, you.

Excellent 5 Dec 2008
By Mrs. A. M. Chadwick TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is the third book in James Patterson's brilliant "Maximum Ride" series. :-)

Max and the rest of the flock continue their journey to save the world. This time they aren't fighting the Erasers, they have a new and stronger adversary called flyboys who are robots.

The scientists and the Director want Max and the flock killed as they aren't perfect and are causing too many problems. Fang has started an internet blog to get all the kids of the world to help save the world from the people in white coats who are hell-bent on destroying life as everyone knows it. Their journey leads them into a trap, but with the flock split will they survive the hell that's about to happen?

This novel captures you from the start; it's a fast moving adventure that keeps you turning the page. An enjoyable and compelling read, It's a book I will definitely read again and it's worth every penny. :-)

I'm looking forward to the fourth book in this series being published. :-)

I was looking for another set of books for my teen son, and reviews on amazon suggested this series. As an adult devotee of J Patterson, I read the first book to ensure it was appropriate. My son has flown through the whole series now, and absolutely loves it.
The story lines are very teen friendly, with enough to grip them and keep them trurning the pages. I am so pleased that I followed the other reviews related to this series as they have been a great purchase.

Along For The Ride 26 July 2011
By Nathan
Format:Paperback
In 'Saving The World And Other Extreme Sports' the character Maximum faces some of her hardest adventures to date all with the over-whelming pressure of having to the save the world from an unknown danger.

James Patterson has managed to churn out another instant success in the Young Adult genre, the short chapters and excellent prose make this book an easy, enjoyable light read.

Overall this book is a must have for fans of James Patterson and Young Adult novels alike, tailoring those more adult themes to suit an audience of any age.
