anyway, that was random. My favorite character's Nudge.. maybe because i have a tendency to not shut up.

wow, I just realized I answered my own question. Does that count as being schizo? No, of course not. Okay, my alter ego says no, so I guess not. :)

I hope Nudge matures more in the fourth book- I liked how JP made her move up in Max's estimation from a little kid to one of the big kids in the third book.

Max is a cool character, but I don't like how JP makes her slightly OOC in the third book. However, in the first two books, she was tied with Nudge for my fav character.

Some people think he's evil! What do u think? i actually like him.

Some people think he's evil! What do u think? i actually like him.

He's the perfect example of the evil guy who really believes that what he's doing is the right thing. So he's evil, but he believes that he's morally right- which is so cool.

And Anne was such a bad evil person, I totally agree with you about not liking her. (bad= not good at it, btw) So it looks like you and me are the two MR weirdies!

Evil characters are awesome. Inside, we all want to be evil and badass like them, so we think they're really cool. The bad guys in MR make good enemies, you hafta admit. I loved Erasers as bad guys. :)

What about the whitecoats, they are evil too, but i didnt like them for the things they did to Angel in the first book. Although, i loved the Director, she was sooooo evil!!!! And it was soo funny when she argued wid Max. I loved when she almost kills her at the end, but then decides not to :( i wanted her to die. maybe in the next book.

I thought that the whitecoats in the first book were well-written- JP really showed what it was like to be a lab rat. They all treated Angel like an object, and that's why Max and Co. hates them.

She's not in the summary of the fourth book, so she might not be in it. Oh, wait, yall probably haven't read the summary, have you? Here it is!

Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride and the other members of "Flock"-Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids, only they have wings and can fly. It seems like a dream come true--except that they're still being hunted by new threats at every turn. This time, the U.S. government wants to keep the Flock under observation, offering a safe haven and schooling in return. But after their incredible adventures in books 1-3, Max and Flock have grown to love freedom-after all, haven't grown-ups always found a way to ruin their lives? After escaping the control of the feds, they are surprised to find themselves allied with a group of environmental scientists who just might be trustworthy. Besides, what enemy could find them in one of the remotest locations on earth-Antarctica-on an expedition studying the effects of global warming up close? There is one: The Uber-Director-literally, brains on a stick-an evil being who has developed mechanical soldiers far more frightening than Erasers. Their quest? To retrieve the Flock and sell them in a global auction for billions of dollars. Will the Uber-Director nab them before Max, Fang and the flock succumb to the dangers of the harsh Antarctic wilderness? Kids, parents and educators tuned into the issue of global warming will find this latest episode of the blockbuster Maximum Ride series not only a particularly riveting adventure beyond their wildest dreams, but also a motivating cautionary tale about a real-life peril that may affect their own future.

I think it sounds awesome, except for the educational BS JP wants to feed us about global warming (I'm really mad about that!).

THANKS!!

Trip Around the Sun! (only my favorite Jimmy Buffet song, sorry- I'm listening to it now, YAY!)

we see in school's out forever is how little he cares about his son. But there are other times when he almost seems... wise? I don't know, he's a strange character, but that's what i love about him.

About Max+Fang, when i read that i just thought 'That's strange, i always thought he liked Max' but i dindn't care so much. This might be because i never really liked fang, i mean, i like him, but not that much. After reading saving the world and other extreme sports my opinion on him changed completely. Now, i think he's a jerk. Did u see how he treated Ari? Did he think about Max's feelings? NO! I'm really angry at him, so if he doesnt do something really good for the flock in book 4, i'm gonna be even angrier. I mean, WHAT WAS HE THINKING?

u should be able to get it out, but if u wanna wait till u can buy it... about fang, there's not that much about him in the 3rd book, but he just does stupid things to Max and the rest of the flock (Nudge and Angel actually) that make me feel really angry. Read it, it's the best one of the three.

The third book had a lot of pointless twists in the story too. I won't ruin it for you if you haven't had a chance to read it yet by saying anything major, but I just want to say that the Director's little "revelation" that he/she (see how I'm not telling you important details?) was 101 years old made no sense- they were doing genetic experimentation back then? Watson and Crick found out DNA structure in the fifties, people! (or however long ago it was)- and didn't contribute anything to the plot. If anything, it made it much more confusing as the reader tried to figure out what was important and what was only thrown in to make the book longer and more confusing.

I had a lot of latent anger against the third book that I just released, lol.

Well, i never thought about that before. i didnt really care about how old she was,

what i thought was a bit stupid was that she told max she was her mum, and i really

believed it, but she wasnt, WHY WOULD SHE SAY SOMTHIN LIKE THAT IF ITS NOT TRUE? thats stupid.

and they told them that everything had been a dream, i didnt get why they did that, did u?

that was a bit confusing.

Anyway, Fang acted like a complete idiot in that book, didnt he? On second hes like max i love u so much, the next hes like choose between me or ari.

the things i thought were really good were: Max discover who the voice was(i loved that chapter!)

she also discovered who were her parents, i wasnt expecting dr martinex... that was too good, i

prefered the director for some reason. I still like it best though.

It seemed like JP was trying to make it seem like Max was being totally confused by Itex on purpose, and he dragged the readers along with Max into the ludicrousness of the plot switchbacks, etc.

Sorry if I put you off it. There's Fax in it, though! (If you're interested in that sort of thing, that is.)

See, I'm like the queen of rationalizing crazy plot twists, but honestly! The only thing I can think of is that JP is stealing from H. G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau -- because that's the only sane way you could even try to have this happen. Argh. (Because there's primitive genetic - messing - about in that book. Go read it, it's very short.)

Oh, and it was 1956 or so. Watson and Crick, that is.

So basically, we're talking about 1899 or so -- come on, it'd be on the level of the blood transfusions in Dracula! (Everyone magically has Mina's same blood type.)

say that if u love maximum ride as much as i do, u better follow this link:

it's a movie done by these weird kids, but it's amazing!!you have to watch it!!

I promise u wont be losing your time!!

Eh, he may be going to bring it up later, but I just wanted to point out the basic stupidity of saying that people were mixing human DNA and turtle DNA 50 years before DNA was even discovered.

or she could have been lying. We will learn more about it in the 4th book.

She could've been lying, but what the heck would that accomplish? ...virtually nothing, which is just what it does to forward the plot now.

Maybe it will come up in the fourth book, but it's not likely because the fourth book features a new director. The current Director will probably not be important in the next book.

and if you're looking for any more mistakes done by JP, i know another one. In the

third book, Ari can't read or write, however, in the 2nd book when a kid thinks

he's wolvorine from x-men, he gives the kid his autograph!

And sorry, but the synopsis I found a while back (on a forum somewhere) says that there's a new "Uber-Director".
