Book Review of The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Bk 4)

The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Bk 4)
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


Having enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was very disappointed with this book. The story is weak, the climatic show-down with the bad guys happens over the course of only a couple of pages and is even more unbelieveable than those in previous books. At one point it was hard to know whether the bad guys (other then by their appearance) were truly bad because they were supposedly working toward the same goal as Max--fighting global warming. That part of the storyline wasn't fully developed. Also, I tend toward sarcasm so that doesn't bother me however, the manner in which Max is sarcastic I almost feel as though the author is belittling the reader. I've given up reading James Patterson books that involve a joint venture with other writers because they aren't up to the initial quality of James Patterson books. I'll give the next book in this series a try but if it's more of the same, I'm done and will strictly stick to the Alex Cross series.
