Konnichiwa all! [Finally got to where I don't have to copy and paste that. xD]
It's Thursday, so I'm posting my second review! If you didn't catch my last one, it was for Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber, one of my more favorites. Now, this book I'm going to review's been pretty popular recently. The last book of this series has just came out, Angel by James Patterson and I've been seeing lots of people reading it, and the Maximum Ride manga. But today, I'm reviewing Fang. Last week, I went to Sam's Club for the first time [xD] and there I bought this book pretty spontaneously, having never heard of it before. After that, I heard of all the time after that, the commercials on TV, people in my Band class reading it. I was really excited to finish it.
Then I got to reading it. I didn't know there was an entire series that I haven't read, so I was really confused. But that's one of the things I liked about this book; you didn't really have to read the others to know what it was about. It sort of flowed easily, in a way where you knew what was going on. So, I'm reviewing this book, the sixth book of it's series, while I work on getting the books before it.
BASICLY - Alright, well this book's about this fifteen-year old girl named Maximum. Her and these other kids, none older than fifteen, all have bird-like wings and make up this group called the "Flock." At the beginning, they were sent to Chad, Africa to feed the people under a special project. I was a little confused on who exactly it was sending them there, but oh well. I'm the one doing the reviewin'. The littlest girl, Angel, who was like seven and has special powers like Max (Including something that talks to them, called the Voice) tells them that she has learned "Fang will be the first to die." Fang is co-captain of the Flock and also Max's boyfriend. MEANWHILE, a new guy joins the Flock, who they find out was made entirely to be Max's other half. That's all I'm going to tell you, mainly because there is a lot more other conflicts in this book and it would take way too much time out of both our lives to do. [xD]
MY OPINIONS - Honestly, this book was a little immature for me. There were times where the jokes were funny and the fights between the "bird kids" made sense, but half the time I laughed at how stupid it seemed. Plus, there was mainly action in most scenes, that of which I can't say I really enjoy. Again, the romance between Fang and Max was sort of a first-love thing, but this time it seemed more like it would last than the last book I reviewed. Max is a pretty bad ass girl, too. She is a good leader, especially due to the fact she has to command a bunch of little kids who aren't so tolerant, and she is an awesome fighter. Another thing; it was a typical hero-villain book, but there were certain twists that made me want to keep reading, more towards the end.
WHO I THINK SHOULD READ - This is going to be sort of complicated. The comic relief in this book is more directed to kids, but the conflicts and other things in the book are more for teens. So, I suppose I could recommend it for tweens; for BOTH genders. The action in this book make a good read for boys, and the love-triangle make it a good read for girls.
So, would I tell you to buy this book? If you're into action, romance, and superheroes, then totally. It would be stupid not to. I would admit it was worth reading, but it isn't one of my more favorite books. I give it a 3.5 or a 4.
Thanks for reading!
