Okay, what is up with the title of this book? Why the heck did Patterson name the fifth book in the Maximum Ride series " Max"? Couldn't he come up with a more original title? I mean, there are DEFINITELY better and more creative titles he could have chosen. It also really annoys me that Patterson had Max and Fang make out in front of Brigid and the flock, and he doesn't show their reactions AT ALL. You know, by the time he finally decides to tell us who it is, I'm not even going to care anymore.
I love - excuse me, I mean hate - how Patterson totally forgets to tell us who the voice is in this one. Oh and what the heck was up with Devin? I don't even get whose side he was on, and who he was working for. at least the pile of brains wasn't a total idiot. And I thought Patterson had done the worst when the villain had been a pile of brains in the 4th book. I mean, who puts an illegal nuclear plant underwater and then LABELS IT WITH THEIR NAME? That's like screaming, "HEY, LOOK! I'm producing illegal nuclear crap! Arrest me, please!" OMG. He's completely flat and boring, he literally has NO motive, plus he's really, REALLY stupid. And at the end, Patterson randomly throws at us a hint that Brigid is a traitor, but then he just ends the book like that. Max just rescues her mom and then skips off into the sunset with the flock, totally forgetting that some really lame villain is still alive and at work out there. This book is basically a soap opera - a really badly done one with an attempt at action. There's just all these action scenes that have absolutely no point whatsoever. There are just a bunch of random subplots that are stupid, full of holes, and that have nothing to do with each other. It's not as bad as the fourth one, but it's still really crappy.
