The End and the Dynamic Protagonist

At The beginning of Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment, Max was comfortably ignorant of everything she didn't want to know. She has learned so much since then and has made many mistakes, even though it was only a month ago when they set off on their journey. The flock is a tightly knitted family but they have grown even closer over that month because of the struggles they face, making everyone of them individually stronger. At one point Max realizes that without complete trust of the flock and without them completely trusting her, there would be no Maximum Ride. She is becoming aware of the fact that she is a small part of something much greater, that her life "might be a huge, sick, important game. And [she] ha[s] been cast as a major player."(Patterson 350)
It's slightly frustrating (as the reader) to figure out more than the character does. Though it does add a nice pinch of suspense. I LoVe this book. It is just the style I like, and it keeps me interested. I'm started on the second book in the Maximum Ride series, and it's just as fantastic as the first. As for recommending it, I already have.
