James Patterson

'The first in a series from adult-thriller writer Patterson has all the characteristics of his work for grown-ups: pace, action, mystery and cool... sharp and punchy with plenty of jokes and shocks. And it proves that girls can be tough, too.' -- The Sunday Times 'This skilled and compulsive tale is so involved about kids being brave against the odds' The Sunday Times, 3/7/05 -- The Sunday Times 'MAXIMUM RIDE is a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy adventure that children will love' Age, Melbourne 4/6/05 -- Age, Melbourne 'Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination.' -- New York Times Book Review 'Nonstop action carries this page-turner breathlessly from start to finish... Speed, suspense, excitement' Kirkus Reviews -- Kirkus Reviews '[MAXIMUM RIDE has] enough action to draw in the most hesitant reader' The Australian -- The Australian '[Patterson] delivers an action-packed cross between Gertrude Chandler Warner's Boxcar Children and Marvel Comics' X-Men' Booklist -- Booklist 'A fast-moving, thrill-a-minutes, neo future adventure that pits good against evil in a most significant way... It's imaginative, it's exciting, it's touching - but it's also damn scary considering what some scientists are up to already.' -- The Northern Echo 'The characters are so well written that you'll really root for them. It's edge of your seat, thrilling stuff.' 5 Stars. -- Flipside
