In MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, the time has arrived for Max and her winged "Flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. 


Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?



Yes, I like this series. No, I didn't like the book that much, save one part. Okay, more than one but still. Fang really pissed me off with the whole "My blog will save the world" crap. I mean, really? You're supposed to love her. Does that not sound like love, or is it just me?


There's also one part where everything I thought about Angel was just like, um, hello! Wow. And then after I thought about it, I was like.. Well, yeah. And the Gasman's impressions are freaking hilarious. And this ter Borcht guy, all the scenes involving him are just.. Amazingly funny. They make fun of him so much.

The ending. Aw. Finally. And it ended back in the States, but for a portion of the book part of the flock was in Europe. France (I miss it so freaking much) Germany, England.. I loved hearing about the places I love. Granted I have never been to England but regardless, I want to and I love some people there. But the change of scenery was pleasant indeed.

I personally would give this around 3.5 or 4 out of my stars. Because well, Fang really pissed me off at some points. But overall, I did like it. Max is still as likable as always, and they're still those twists that you know you should see coming but you never do. At least, not totally. :)
