Author

The author of Maximum Ride is also the same author who wrote the Confessions series. You can defiantly tell that they are written by the same author. James Patterson is a very strong, well know author. He writes thriller/suspense novels. His writing style is very similar between the two. He likes a strong female main character. Patterson tries to pass on his passion for writing and reading in many ways. He has a website called ReadKiddoRead.com, and to his College Book Bucks scholarships and his regular donations of hundreds of thousands of books to schools here in the states and troops overseas, Patterson has passed on his passion of books and reading and supported those who do the same. ReadKiddoRead.com is a website designed to help parents, teachers, and librarians help the next generation get excited about reading by recommending books carefully chosen for their ability to make kids' love reading even more.

Maximum Ride

I started my new book, Maximum Ride and so far I really like it so far. You can defiantly tell that it is by the same author as The Confessions Series. James Patterson. He makes his main characters very serious and a strong leader. Tandy was a strong and the leader of her family. Max, the main character of this book, is strong and the leader of the group. They both take charge on the situation and handle it efficiently. This is the opening quote and it shows how Max is also very blunt and honest. "Welcome to my nightmare.
Do not put this book down. I'm dead serious - your life could depend on it. I'm risking everything by telling you - but you need to know." This
website is a really cool interactive way to show to the book. It also has a Confessions tab, so check that out too!

Maximum Ride


I recently finished the confessions series that I was previously reading and I really liked them. Another book by the same author is the Maximum Ride series, so I decided to try it. I haven’t started reading it yet as I just got it yesterday, but I’ve heard that it’s a very good book. In best sellers, we had to give a book spotlight and talk about some books that we really like, and I heard from a few people that it is a very good book, so I’m excited to start it. The book is about 6 kids who are injected with avian DNA and are tested on in a lab. They escape and fly around the country trying to find their parents and make a life for themselves.
