Genre: Young Adult, Sci-fiBook 3 of the Maximum Ride series
Read my review of Book 1 here. I haven't reviewed the second book here, but it's a good one too. This review contains spoilers if you haven't read the first two books, so beware.
The flock is carrying on with the usual order of business. Run. Hide. Survive. Then Fang recieves a mysterious message saying that one of the flock has become a traitor...
I didn't like this book as much as the previous two. The first half in particular seemed to be a little heavy on the snappy comebacks, a little light on actual happenings. And trust me, there needs to be A LOT of snappy comebacks before it gets to be too much for me. It may have been just me, but I thought there were a lot more people saying "like." Like, you know what I mean. That bugs me.
That said, this was a good continuation of the series, once it got going. There are more twisty turns in the plot than in your average maze. I also enjoyed the developing romance between two of our favorite characters. At one point in the book, the flock splits up for a while, continuing the story on two fronts, which I thought made for an interesting dynamic.
My final word: 3 out of 5. Wildly improbable, but entertaining nonetheless.
