One of my favorites

Nice work :) it was really well written and fun to listen to and read

enjoyed it again.

this is the third time I have listened to this story. I have read the book as well.

Still worth it.. barely

I loved this series when I was younger, but every book in it suffers greatly from being abridged - so much of the appeal of this series lies in the small, non-essential details within the plot, and almost all of that is cut out. It's just the big action scenes and plot devices left, and though I srill think the series is worth listening to, it could have been so much better if the books were left unedited in their transfer to audio.

I wish they weren't abridged

I like the stories...I just wished they were longer for character development. it's to short

Love Max

The saga continues with Max and the flock dealing with more environmental issues. Entertaining and fun.

love the series

my mom has been listening to the series and really enjoyed all box so far

MAX

I was delighted to read this next book in the series! Please keep them coming.

I was disappointed again in reading the reviews people have written about this book and the others in the series. Attention adults - the books in this series were written for young teenagers and younger, NOT adults. They are written in a different format and style that works well with young imaginative minds, so please quit analyzing with adult minds and to adult standards.

I am 48 years old and love all of James Patterson novels. But when I read any of the "MAXIMUM" novels I do so from a different perspective, a perspective of a youngster. I was first interested in the storyline because as a child I always wished I could fly like the characters do. As an adult I do fly, but in airplanes after obtaining my pilots license.

I think everyone would enjoy all the books in the series if they approach them from the right prespective - a young imaginative mind!

I love this series. James Patterson did a great job on this. Now I am ready for the next book.

The worst!

I am a fan of James Patterson, but I could not even make it through one hour of this novel! Sci-fi...Bird people..Cannot even believe this is written by him!
