James Patterson has recently released a new book titled “Nevermore” as the conclusion to his Maximum Ride series. Having read all the other books in the series, I had anxiously awaited this one. About a week before it came out, I decided that in order to fully enjoy the book, I should go back and re-read the other books once again, in order to catch all the little details.
I did this, and when I finally got to Nevermore, I only read about ten chapters (his chapters are all short, around two pages each) before I sat there for a moment, thinking to myself, “this book is just not going to have a happy ending…” I found myself unable to read for a few minutes, completely convinced that I would soon be reading an ending where nobody lives happily ever after.
My sister had already read the book, because I was content on re-reading the other books in the series, and she was so frustrated at me for not reading. Finally she convinced me to continue reading, and I finished the book within two hours.
The ending was… frustrating. There were parts I loved, and parts I hated. James Patterson left lots of holes in the plot, with unanswered questions. I felt like the author would impulsively add snippets of action and plot twists, and then completely forget about them, to be forever unresolved.
As annoying as this was, I did like other parts of the book. Frankly, this book was alright.
