Zac's+Maximum+Ride+the+Final+Warning

This book is the fourth in the maximum ride series, and begins with all of the kids at Ari’s grave, the eraser that had “expired” while they were fighting the director in Germany. Then, after the funeral, they have to travel to congress, because some of the politicians in Washington DC want to help them. However, when the pizza that they ordered detonates and almost kills them, they quickly realise that no-one can protect them. In an attempt to protect them, Dr Martinez gets the flock places on an Antarctic research vessel, and they travel to the South Pole, where they are supposedly safe, unaware that the Evil Uber-Director and his hideous and strong assistant, Gozen, are right behind them.... This book started differently than the others, with them mourning a friend rather than launching straight away into action. However, it picked up really quick, and I was not able to put it down until the last page. The best thing I like about this book is that the author keeps the story moving really fast and doesn’t slow the momentum of the story down at all. My favourite character is fang, because of the fact that he is loyal to the flock and will make smart-alec comments even in the face of impending doom. Another thing I like about fang is his ability to, if he stands still, he will fade out of sight until he appears invisible, like a chameleon. Another character that I liked was Iggy, because, even though he was blind, he moved and could do practically anything that the rest of the flock could do. I found this to be quite interesting because I thought that he would not be able to fly let alone fight because he was blind. My favourite part was when the supposedly hurricane-proof windows on the Uber-director’s hideout smash and the flock is able to escape the Uber-director’s clutches. Another part that I liked is the part when Angel, Max, Total, and Akila are in an ice hole and there is a deep, booming voice and the ice hole is flattened by Gozen, who then takes them prisoner. I think that this book is really good because of the fact that James Patterson mixed comedy, action, and even a bit of fact or science. I think that this is the best book in the series by far, and I would recommend it for ages 11 up who enjoyed //Artemis fowl, The Wish List,// and other books by Eoin Colfer as well as any other writer who writes with a combination of action, comedy, and fantasy. I would give this book 10/10 for its amazingly superb plot and great overall writing. By Zachary Watson
