"The first three were awesome, but the fourth was a massive let down"

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

-_-

I should have made it more clear what the Maximum Ride series is.

Then again, its wiki, so it may not be accurate.

I've read When The Wind Blows (the first draft adult version of the Maximum Ride series). Patterson's writing style seems pretty trashy, I wasn't convinced to read anything else by him.

Yeah, I got into that series too. I liked his books, but he seemed to change audience halfway through a series, which was entirely detrimental imo. (Talking about MR, not WTWB)

is this an American series? I haven't heard of them, and what I gleaned from wikipedia didn't encourage me.

Idk, probably. I enjoyed the first few, but its understandable that the rest arent that good. Read WTWB again, thought it was a lot better than the MR books, as understandably its for a different audience. what did you think was so trashy? I found it to be a great read, imo.
