The first in a series from adult-thriller writer Patterson has all the characteristics of his work for grown-ups: pace, action, mystery and cool... sharp and punchy with plenty of jokes and shocks. And it proves that girls can be tough, too. (The Sunday Times)
'This skilled and compulsive tale is so involved about kids being brave against the odds' The Sunday Times, 3/7/05 (The Sunday Times)
'MAXIMUM RIDE is a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy adventure that children will love' Age, Melbourne 4/6/05 (Age, Melbourne)
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination. (New York Times Book Review)
'Nonstop action carries this page-turner breathlessly from start to finish... Speed, suspense, excitement' Kirkus Reviews (Kirkus Reviews)
'[MAXIMUM RIDE has] enough action to draw in the most hesitant reader' The Australian (The Australian)
'[Patterson] delivers an action-packed cross between Gertrude Chandler Warner's Boxcar Children and Marvel Comics' X-Men' Booklist (Booklist)
A fast-moving, thrill-a-minutes, neo future adventure that pits good against evil in a most significant way... It's imaginative, it's exciting, it's touching - but it's also damn scary considering what some scientists are up to already. ( The Northern Echo )
'The characters are so well written that you'll really root for them. It's edge of your seat, thrilling stuff.' 5 Stars. ( Flipside )
The brilliant 1st novel in James Patterson's Maximum Ride series.
