Very disappointing. I came late into the Maximum Ride phenomenon butwas immensely surprised when I picked up the first few books. I really liked the story and characters, and the mystery was engaging. I eagerly waited for the next book. I was extremely disappointed. Patterson completely throughout the mystery and plot to warp the whole story into some global warming propaganda. Regardless of whether you believe in global warming or not, there is no excuse for what was done in this book. I won't give away anymore. Just want to warn those Maximum Ride fans out there who want to read the next installment in her adventures. Because this certainly doesn't belong in the series. Patterson borrowed the character and the (paying) readers to produce his own pretentious and thinly disguised views on a subject that didn't belong in the series as much as it was, if at all.
