Maximum Ride: Saving the World and other Extreme Sports

I read book called Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson. I selected this book because I read the other books in the series and I really enjoyed them. I like books that are well-written, and make you want to keep reading. This is one of those books. It is a very good book, and that's really how I selected this book.
The main characters are a group of six mutant bird-winged children on the run from a corrupted company called Itex who wants to kill them. There is Max, the group leader, Fang, the one who Max trusts the most, Iggy, who is blind, but a good addition to their "flock", the Gasman, who got his name from his digestive system problems, Nudge, the chatty 11-year-old girl, and Angel, the psycic 6 year old girl. There is also Total, the talking dog. They are on the run from a company who is trying to "expire" them, and proceed to kill off half of the world's humans, to make a "better" Earth. They fly all over the world to try to escape this company, and they meet many obsticals along the way. This book focuses mainly on survival, and some romance.
"Max, you just passed another test.". This quote is very signifigant to me, because it shows that no matter what these kids do in life, they are always being tested by somebody. No matter who they meet, that person is somehow connected to their testing. This is also signifigant because it shows that they never get a break. They can't just live as normal kids, their lives are always either in danger or in testing. It really makes you feel bad for these kids.
I think I will rate this book 3 out of 5 Q's. Q's will be the rating system for this book, because Q's are awesome. So, this book would get 3 Q's. QQQ
In conclusion, I will make a recommendation. I think this book is appropriate for all ages, actually. There is no swearing, not too much violent content, and nothing very bad. I recommend this book to anybody because, it is well written, it has a good story, and it is just a fun read. I would have to make sure they read the previous two books, though.
