Book Review: Fang by James Patterson

Fang is the sixth book in the Maximum Ride Series. The book was published on March 15, 2010 by Little, Brown Company. 

I loved this book and personally think that this is the best one of the series so far. (Next one called Angel comes out in 2011) I like how James Patterson gives you details that were in the other books, so, if you just happened to pick this book up in the library or a store, and you did not know it was a series, you could just read this book and catch one pretty quick. I would read the other books in the order that they are produced, so you get the whole story. If Patterson could put all the details into one book then we would not be on the sixth book.

If you have not heard of the books before. Here is a summery of Fang from Goodreads.com:

"Being a kid with wings--constantly on the run--has never been easy, and Max and her flock are getting tenser than ever. First, on a trip to Africa, they meet a mysterious billionaire whose intense scrutiny of the Flock makes her fear the worst. And as if an impending apocalypse weren't bad enough, canny birdkid Angel makes a dire prophecy about Max's soul mate: Fang will be the first to die. Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever. But can the team weather the storm, or will the turmoil rip them apart for the last time?"

Why the name Fang for the title some of you might ask. Fang is one of the main charators in the book, and second in the main group of six winged children.

Overall I would give this book a 5 out of 5. I dont see how it could get much better. The chartors are told about and you get man details about them trought out the book series. The other details of the books are very detailed to. If they are fighting then you get details of them fighting, and sometimes you might even seem like you are a part of the fight.

So, I hope you enjoyed this book review. If you have any ideas for helping me become a better book review then send them to my email (michelleconner23456@hotmail.com)

Also, I changed the URL to my blog. If you were allready subscribed then you are still subscribed.

The new URL if you have told any one is

Another Book Giveaway (at someone eles place)

Mallory, at The Teen Bibliophile is giveing away a Signed Copy of Salvaged by Stefne Miller.

Here is what Mallory put on the post about the book.

"'My body was being torn apart, and my stomach felt as if it exploded. The pain was excruciating, and I was aware that I was dying... 'Mom?' My vision was murky, but I could see her face. It was bloody, and her eyes were large and full of fear. Her voice calmed. 'Get out of the car, Attie.' Her words sounded crisp and clear. I looked into the backseat in search of Melody and found her lying covered in blood in a twisted heap on the floor. I turned my attention back to my mother and out of the corner of my eye saw fire. 'Get out, Attie!' 'Mom?' Everything went dark.' Attie Reed should have died in the wreck that stole the lives of her mother and best friend. But her life was spared. Why? When Attie moves to Oklahoma to stay with the Bennetts for the summer, she hopes she has left her nightmares behind. But her battle is far from over, and Riley Bennett steps forward to help her fight the nighttime monsters. As the battle wears on, Riley begins fighting monsters of his own: his feelings for Attie. And Attie realizes she must begin to face the monsters of the night herself if she wants to conquer them for good. Can Attie's life be Salvaged?"

Only one person can win. So, if you want to win. Travel over to this place

July Crop #1 Challenge

This page is for the July Crop #1 Challenge. over at thescrapbeach.ning.com

Hope you enjoy.


I did this page because during the summer is when i get most of my reading done, during the school year, I was more worried about school work and reading the books that had to be read during english class and the projects that had to be done.

I took the idea for reading from Kathryn because when she was doing her page during the live Ustream show, I thought of the picture I used for this page.

The paper is from Target, I think it came 4 pieces in pack for a dollor a long time ago.
The letters were from Big Lots.
The flower I made.
