review 1: The premise of this series sounded interesting. Evil scientists, kids beyond the ordinary, etc. Perhaps a bit cliche, but nonetheless, I decided to try it. The further I read, the more I came to realize just how cliche it was. Patterson's portrayal of the teenagers is awkward and unrealistic... As if he said, "Hey, kids are popular right now. I'll write a book about kids, even though I know nothing about them, and it'll be popular!" This theory worked. Each book had, essentially, the same plot: being chased by new and dangerous mutants, discover something new (that everyone saw coming) and have an identity crisis over it, defeat the mutants, and move on, just to discover another race of new and dangerous mutants.
review 2: Summary-First 3 books- Mutant bird kid... mores running from scary werewolf things! Fun!Next few books- Mutant bird kids help kids in Africa and save penguins. What the $&@! just happened? Last books- do not make any sense at all. Not consistent. None of the members of the flock are really focused on but Angel, Max, Fang, and Dylan. Too many plot holes. Does not compute. Then, in the epilogue, Max says she dies and she's so lucky. It's sort of sweet. Then she's all like lol jk and I'm all like :/ The End! less
