My book is called Nevermore by James Patterson. In the book this girl named Max has to save the world. Yes, that’s right, a girl. Anyhow this girl has escaped death, and has some serious ninja skills. Oh, and by the way she has wings. So at first the book starts out with the flock (Max, Iggy, Dylan, Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge. There was another one but he left,) at a school. They tried to fit in, but that didn’t quite work. So this guy that left the flock is named Fang. He left to go make his own flock of mutants. (Also some evil scientist guys are trying to take over the world by killing all of the humans and replacing them with humans.) He does this, but then he gets attacked and a member dies and he leaves the flock he made and heads back to Max and the gang. (just so you know, Max has a voice inside her head that tells her what to do.) So skipping a few dozen chapters they go onto an island and they decide to stay, but then Dylan said he saw something huge in the sky coming straight down and he didn’t know what it was so they had to get into the caves. Max didn’t believe him so she stays and before she could really do anything else the sky goes up in flames and the air turns super hot. Angel then tells her to go down to the caves and she should listen to her like she listened to the voice, but she doesn’t believe her and her and fang fly up into the air only to come crashing down to the ground and to get swallowed up by a tsunami. I noticed that throughout this book there was a theme, and that theme was Never give up.
Max didn’t give up when the bomb blew up. When the bomb blew up at the 99 percenter rally (find out this when you read the book) Angel and Gazzy were caught inside of the blast. Gazzy escaped. Angel did not. Later when they are at their house the alarms go off in the middle of the night. Everyone wakes up and goes on high alert and goes outside to see Fang walking towards the house. They all are super happy to see him. Later when they are inside Fang tells Max that he might know where Angel is. They fly to the school, the place they were first made. They find it burning and bubbling with smoke. They force their way inside the school and they find Angel and get her out.
Max didn’t give up when Jeb told her Fang had to die. When Jeb found out that Fang’s DNA held the next step to invincibility he knew he had to kill him to extract the DNA from him to get it. So he went to the flocks house with a hundred erasers (human wolf hybrids) and tried to kill him, but did that stop Max. NO. She fought until they all died before they killed Fang, well most of them. When they killed their leader Ari they all kind of died because they think they were all linked up to him.
Dylan didn’t give up when Max almost died. After he got everyone to safety he went back to find Max, except he didn’t find her. He looked for her and finally found her beneath the waves. He dove to the depths of the oceans and brought her to shore. She woke up safe and sound, alive. She then went to the cliffs with everyone else and stared at the sunset. She then said that this was the time, the time of Maximum Ride.
Never give up. I loved this book. The book and the series were really good and the writing was astonishing from James Patterson. I just recently discovered that there was a new book, the real, final ending to the Maximum Ride series called Forever. I want it super bad. Anyways the book was really good. Action-packed and full of mystery and adventure with a little bit of drama. Overall one of the best series/book I ever read.
