Review by Steven W

Lockowitz-Period 8

In the book, Maximum Ride School’s Out-Forever, by James Patterson, there are six kids who have been genetically mutated by evil scientists. Their names are Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, Angel, Fang, and Max. Max is a round character because at the beginning of the book she doesn’t depend on anyone, but throughout the book she learns how to use all of her flock’s special abilities to their fullest. Each one of them has wings and increased strength, speed, endurance, and appetite. They have just escaped a laboratory in New York and are flying to Washington D.C. On their way, they encounter a new type of eraser. As they fight in the air against the erasers, Fang gets slashed across the stomach by their worst enemy, Air, whom they all thought Max had killed. After Fang gets hurt in the fight, the group goes to the hospital. While there, the FBI finds out about them and they have to live with an agent. Going to school is again forced on them. That’s where things start to get weird.

The most appealing part of this book was that it always leaves you guessing. For example when the real max is fighting the fake Max you don’t know who is going to win because they are exactly the same. But in the end the author always made so it was a happy ending. And the author does this over and over in the book. He still mess’s with you by changing when something good will happen though.
