Review:I love the Max Ride books, but I think they've been going downhill for a while. I wasn't super-excited to read this, but I knew that I would eventually. I also know I'm going to read the next book [whatever it is, and whenever it comes out-if anyone knows, please tell me!] but I wasn't overly impressed with this. When an author flat-out tells you in the summary that one of the major characters that has the love of so many fans is going to die, they're taking a huge risk. Kill someone off, annoy ... Read more

Review:While I can't pretend to like the title of this book, I am definitely still liking the series. As it goes on it only seems to get stranger, more mysterious, and more complicated. As Max struggles to protect her flock from the Erasers (led by resentful child Ari who may or may not be her brother), she also tries to find out about their past and about her supposed destiny (which, if you missed book 1, is to save the world). Though the kids get a peak at what a normal life is like, it seems that th... Read more

Review:This book is great. although I haven't read it yet (I'm waiting for October when I fly to England so I have something to read on the 9 hour flight) I'm a big fan of the series. It came in the mail just a few days after I ordered it, and the shipping wasn't too expensive. The book also came in great condition. Read more

Review:This was not my kind of book. All of the characters were beyond fictional in that they existed in a world that has not yet come and individuals who were have bird and half human just goes beyond my imagination. While I do read a lot of fiction, but believable fiction, science fiction and books like this are just not my cup of tea. Had I known the history behind the character, and the root of the evaluation I had read, I would not have purchased this book. Read more

Review:I've been reading the novels and manga for a while and volume 9 is really short compared to the others. I finished it in 30 minutes. Also, the character from the cover isn't really in this volume...I really wanted his character to be introduced to the flock.

Story is still enjoyable and some major character development. Story seemed a little rushed. Will I buy volume 10? Absolutely? Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes, especially those that love the series. Can't wait for volume 10! Read more

Review:Like a lot of other readers, I was skeptical picking up this book. The 4th book was about global warming and it was one giant political message. This book wasn't nearly as bad. There was still some global warming and pollution messages however, it's not nearly as bad. Unlike the 4th book, they had a purpose in this book. I don't want to spoil anything from the book, but this time around, the flock was working to actually save something important to them.
This book isn't perfect though. The bo... Read more

Review:This was a Christmas gift for our 16 month old daughter who was not really into reading books with us. She loves this one though; I think because we sing to it. My oldest daughter, a 3 year old, loves it also. She sings along and tries to make up rhymes. I definitely recommend this book!! Read more

Review:I actually threw this book and I am greatly sorry for it but this novel got under my skin. So yes, I totally enjoyed this novel and yes, I would highly recommend it, if this is a genre you read. Why? For starters this novel is real, this story is reality as it told the story as if they were your neighbors and this was not the edited version. There was no red bow at the end and there was no happy, sappy feeling in the middle that made me go “ahh!” I was furious and irritated and I wanted to ... Read more

Review:The women in this book are either complaining, whining witches or simpletons (although good natured willing simpletons.) The Hispanics are mustachioed, tattooed. gang bangers. Welfare recipients are fat, dirty, toothless and lazy. Then you have the silly hippy dippy flower children who don't like guns. God help them. The only guy the main character can stomach is his acolyte Gary. I disliked the main character so much by the end of the book that I didn't care if he made it home or not. Read more
