Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports is much different from the previous two titles in the Maximum Ride series. In the first two of Patterson's teen novels, much was very repetative, fighting and running, fighting and running, trusting and running, finding answers and running, and getting no where. It was quite the cycle.
In the third novel, however, Max and her flock finally found some answers they were searching for. Max found her mom, friendships were tested as were abilities. In this novel there is still fighting, but there is less of a circle. This novel was very fast-paced and an easy read which I thoroughly enjoyed. As for the characters, there was significant growth for everyone, every character seemed to become more individual, for lack of a better term. Max, despite her own growth as a character stayed the same, which is good.
However, with the way this novel ended, I can tell that in the books to come there has been some plot changes and that the novel may be going off it's original course. So far, I would say that the plot is still good and the changes will not turn me off from the books, but, we will have to see, won't we?
Recommended! :D
