But if you've been reading the Maximum Ride series or my reviews on the previous volumes then you know this. The kids might always get a break but it's always short lived and if Fang and the gang...ha-ha. If the guys think they are going to be able to just disappear then they are kidding themselves so I don't blame Max when she gets upset with their sudden "screw everyone else" attitude but despite her disagreeing with them she's outnumbered and has no choice but to go house hunting with Fang. No joke, they actually left the rest of the flock behind to go fly off and look for a place to stay. I understand that the flock are a lot stronger and more durable than your typical human being but what house are they going to find that is going to withstand a basic nuclear assault on the entire planet? Hmm? Besides this hard to swallow beginning the rest of the volume is fast pace fight scenes, wisecrack dialogue, and twist after twist.

Now I LOVE a great twist, a great twist is one you NEVER see coming but makes sense after its been revealed because the clues were there all along you just weren't paying attention at the time and that is what happens in volume 5 of Maximum Ride. There is a great twist, but and this is a big BUT that I can't go into great detail with because it would be a huge spoiler and you would hate me, the twist has to be one of the lamest clichés of all time and you are just going to be conflicted because it screams of being typical but it's also the only thing that makes senses and ties up the loose ends of the last 4 volumes. It also kind of makes the last four volumes seem like a total waste if you want to be all negative and I'm sorry that I can't tell you why but just read the book and you will understand. Maximum Ride, volume 5 will have your emotions bouncing all over the place especially with the cliff-hanger that comes out of nowhere. Yeah, thanks for that James Patterson I feel like I am still falling and waiting for volume 6 to show up and catch me.

This is amazing continuation of this series. I didn't see the twist coming.

There better be another one coming out!

Like I said earlier don't be afraid to read this one if you havn't read the 5th novel! The manga is farther behind! Check out my review for the 1st of the manga if you want more details, or on the 1st novel.

This was a really good book and it was a really quick read.
