In MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, the time has arrived for Max and her winged "Flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?
Purchased for my 15 year old son, his review:
The first two books were great to read, couldn't put them down. This third book from the Maximum Ride series was just as interesting as the others...Once you start, you can't stop reading!!! Can't wait to read the next one!!

This is a really good book. It's the best Maximum Ride book (But not by far, the first one was really good too)but also the saddest. It was really sad The-person-who's-name-I-will-not-name-or-else-I-will-give-away-a-part-of-the-book died. *Before I start the pros and cons I have a quick note. I really liked the book, but I have more cons than pros, so be warned.*
Pros:
-It made more sense than the previous books
-You FINALLY find out who Max's dad, mom, half-brother, and half-sister are.
-It is more interesting than the previous books
Cons:
-It's kinda obvious from the end of book 1 who Max's dad and half-brother are
-Ari's coming back to life is never really explained. All he said was that those people whose names I cannot remember fused his neck bones back together (Thank you James Patterson! That clears things up tons! NOT!).
-Fang is now a complete jerk. He has gone to dark and mysterious, to annoying and abnoxious. The same with Iggy. They were my favorite characters too!
-Nearly every character that was important in the previous books is forgotten. Anne (Who played a MAJOR role in Schools Out Forever) is completely forgotten. Sam,JJ,Tess,the red haired girl- all forgotten.
-Max 2's reappearance was pointless.
-Omega was an uncessecary character additon.
That's really it. Like I said, I love the book, but I have a lot more cons than pros.
So if you have read the previous books, go ahead and read this one. If you haven't- A word to the wise, read the first and second books in the series BEFORE you read the third.

Again, the only thing I can say about this series is that it is flat out a lot of fun. These books are not going to win any awards for literary content, but if you are looking for a fun, quick read that will entertain you, this series is for anyone of any age.
