Author Profile: James Patterson

Maximum Ride a novel for all ages. The series has 6 Books right now. These books show how it is to live as a freak and with now one but each other to rely on. The books are very interesting with twist and turns at every corner. The first three books where entertaining, but the last three books, The Final Warning, Max, & Fang, deal with thing we can relate to. In The Final Warning the major problem is global warming, in Max the problem is pollution in the water, and his newest book deals with the problems in Africa, all the hunger & diseases, it also deals with the pros and cons of teenage love. All you have to do is read a few pages and you'll be hooked on it forever. I have read those books over hundreds of time, and in record time. I finished the first 5 books in less than 9 hours, befor the sixth book came out.
