The Final Warning

Average rating3.3
In this breathtaking new story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson, a girl has to save herself from an army assembled just to capture her -- and maybe save the planet while she's at it.
Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control government experiment.
Max and the other members of the Flock -- six kids who share her remarkable ability -- have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the causes of global warming. The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism -- and escaping government forces who watch the Flock like a hawk.
But even in Antarctica, trapped in the harshest weather on our planet, Maximum Ride is an irresistible target in constant danger. For whoever controls her powers could also control the world. Maximum Ride is James Patterson's greatest character, a heroine who manages to be human and fearless at once.

Kinda wishing for half-stars, right now, because this was more of a 2.5. It was really preachy, which was a bit irritating.
It was ok, the flock is apparently mutating on their own, getting some cool new abilities, even Total. There is again an evil mastermind trying desperately to capture them, and this time the story is set in the cold land of Antarctica brrrr no thanks. It was a fun read that developed the story a little bit, but it just seemed like a new bad guy was suddenly introduced and then taken care of, and its like...who was this guy? where did he come from? I think there should've been a little more character development, and as the book was short as it was, it shouldn't have been that hard. Still, if you like James Patterson's books then you'll like this one.
Some parts were ok, but a good chunk of it annoyed me. Like the whole global warming speechles. I know that global warming is real and all that stuff. And there wasn't really an ending. Will there be a 5th?
