Super Sleuthing.
Don't worry, we can "agree to disagree." Adults do it all the time.
Seems like a lot of you out there in the World Wide Web didn't quite like that cover we found. Total didn't like it either, but that's because he, well, wasn't on it. Perhaps when we buy a copy at the bookstore I can glue a mirror to the front of his. That way, he'll always be on the cover.
Oh, by the way, Googling is awesome:

Why they have to start with Chapter 6, I dunno, but if one more person wants to make me a guinea pig or lab rat, I will simply tell them I am (duh) AVIAN. Thank you very much!

Is that Gasman? If that is him, he looks like I thought he would have looked like. I thought that I should tell you that I love your story and hope to hear more about it soon.

who is that on the front cover of the second maximum ride book? At the front. Because I'm assuming the 1 behind the mystery person is max.

I LOVE THE STORY, LOVE ALL THE BOOKS KEEP WRITTING THEM!!!
omg i love the exerpt from the book. a little confused on what is going on but i obviously wouldnt if i havent read the other chapters. which unfortunately i havent cause the book comes out in march. which is 3 months away. well anyways its awsome
hey!!! wow, i read the excrpt thing.......wow. so, how do u end up back in DC by chapter 6, when you were clearly in Californina at the end of the third book....flying west ("into the sunset"). watever, i'm guessing th beginning of the book will be fast paced....
so like, you guys buy these books, and read them......but how can you.....if you're....THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING!!!!
btw, THAT BETTER NOT BE THE COVER FOR THE LAST BOOK.
I loved the cover!
And the except is fabulous! I was sitting, cheering! It's great to hear your voice again (even if it is only on the page, but you understand what I mean!). I missed your attitude! Now I have to wait for it to come out :(
OMG!!!!!!That excerpt only makes me want to read the book more! I am going CRAZY over here! Is there any possibility of getting that book out to the public like, uh, NOW! I want to know what's going to happen next! I love you guys! You rock! And kick some Flyboy butt for me along the way! MAx, you are just so awesome and very cool under pressure. And so merciful too! Fang you are incredibly loyal- though like someone said before in another entry, WAY to thickheaded for you're own good. Nudge, I wish I could work a computer like you! That'd be awesome! No more problems for me! Gazzy and Iggy- keep up the good work dudes! You guys are literally the Dynamic Duo. Angel, I just gotta love ya. You had the chance to stay safe but no, you kicked those scientists butts and saved your friends! That took guts girl!
dude!!!!!! i love you guys!! i used to live like 5min. away from the capital to bad i don`t live there anymore i would of probally saw yal!
Holy crap do I want this book! I don't really care what the cover looks like, just whats behind it!
Plus, it really isn't that bad.
yay
i cant wait ahhhhhhhhhhhh
endgame
Kool! I like the whole fact that we get to read the 6th chapter, but i mean can't we read the 1st instead??? The whole total thing, AWESOME IDEA LOL! I already pre-ordered your book. Can't wait to read it!
oooh, the exerpt is awesome! I can't wait for it to come out! Do you guys know when it might be released?
This is random, but I just bought these awesome wing earring because of you guys. XD they're black and they remind me of Fang. *fangirl moment*
What the heck!!!
Why are you in Washington, D.C.?!!
When is that book coming out?!!!
I wouldn't accept the government's offer if I were you. At least, not from how it sounds right now.
I wish they did chapters 1 through 6 instead of just chapter 6.
booknut
Yeah, I am not that big of a fan myself for the cover, but then again, if the story rocks, then I could care less.
-Anji
Wow, it sounds awesome! I can't wait till the book comes out! You guys rock Max! Keep soaring and being awesome!
When is the book coming out? Please tell me when It is coming out I want to read the book. I lobe all of you guys especialy total He is so funny. Not because he is a dog but i think it is cool that he is a dog. I also like Fang He is cool. I like Max too because she is going to save the world. I think that Max and Fang should start dating.I can tell that they like each other and that they want to make out everytime they get close to each other. I like angel because she has so many powers. I like nudge because i like computers to. I like gassy too because you and iggy might be as funny as total. I like iggy mabe the most, No my favorite is Max because she is realy cool.but iggy is cool because he can not see but you can still be able to do the same stuff that normal people do except see. And I still want to know when the fourth book is coming out i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excited. I love max.
omg! thats so cool! thanx for posting that up!...wow, only on the 6th chapter and your already talking to government agents...CrEePy...especially that cover! IM SORRY BUT THATS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! honestly, i dont even want to KNOW who (or what) that thing is. if its one of the flock...i think im gonna be sick. i dont want to be mean...but its kinda...bad. well anyways, hope to see that books come out soon!
HA! XD "Omega, poster boy for pathetic losers!" One of the Best lines. EVER.
And yes, cover of book IV looks sucky, and Total the Super Dog should so be on the cover. How awesome would that be? Total, you flippin' ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one!
~~Prominence
WHY IS FANG NOT UPDATING?! D:
Oh geez. I miss Ari, too, Max. I miss him,too.
I BET FANG ISN'T HELPING!!!! *seeeeeth*
I don't like Fang. Sorry, but he's a total jerk.
I really can't wait for the new book. I've already got money set aside to buy it with..
So... is that, like, the whole chapter? Cause the chapters are really short. I like 'em that way. Geez, Max, how'd you end up in our country's capital? I have a feeling that they WILL make you lab rats (sorry if I bursted your bubble Max) I wish that the chapters didn't pull me in so much. It's like having a little, tiny, (when I mean tiny, I mean TINY) piece of really, really good chocolate cake. You just HAVE to have more. So... Please, don't except that offer to go to school (They have a bad choice of words). It's sort of hard to feel bad for Jeb, ya know? But I feel his pain, you know losing Ari and all. Poor, poor Ari. This is a question to the first post:
Do you mean that the weird, green alien thing on the cover looks like Gazzy? If you do, I'm worried...
Max, I'm sure you've heard enough of this, but, that better not be the cover of the book! Seriously, if you tell me that that's the actual cover of the book, don't be surprised if you can't find Angel tomorrow. (I'm just kidding, for you gulllible people, but really, that CAN'T be the cover).

Yay! Total should get some attention... he doesn't just want to be the "dog" all the time.
-mmm122
I want to hear from Fang. And so what? you guys dont wanna go to school so escape to Antartica or is that where the school is? And we know what kind of music the Gasman, Angel, Fang, and probally Nudge listens to but how about Max and Iggy? Do you guys ever get older? I need answers.
Chapter 6 looks great! Can't wait to get my fingerprints on it. ^^
-Hatice
OMG the expert given has just made me freak out because now i have officially ran out of patience for the next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooow...ok. i don't believe that it is the real thing though, they did that with the Harry Potter book 7 too, so I don't believe !
I have idea's on how they're traking you guys on my blog if you want to check it out.
devns.blogspot.com !!!
It wasn't the best cover you guys have had, to be honest. But you can't judge a book by its cover!
Why on earth start with chapter 6?!
come on.....
Max, i think that you should take them to "the School" so they could see what your past life was like( i would say hook them up to some of the machines there so that they will deffinatly understand why the word school is so terrible
Bub
P.S. good luck
OMG! i read chapter 6!!!! I can NOT belive that you guys go to the government IN A LIMO!!!! is it just Max, Jeb, And Dr. Martinez? cause there was no mention of the flock at all. And that was HORRIBLE of them to show Ari dieing like that. I cryed when that happened and they had no right to do that. PLEASE try to get out some more chapters (with more of the flock perferably) and I really hope you guys are safe!!!! and that your relationships with each other are still going strong *hint hint* *max and fang* lol
and if you guys ever need a place to stay....let me know!!!

BYE!
yeah, i didn't like that cover, at all! . i'll still buy the book anyway. and yes, Max, googling IS awesome!
“We’ve asked you to come here today because we’re very interested in your future,” said an older man. “We—the American government, that is--didn’t know of your existence until quite recently. Now that we know, we want to protect you and also explore whether we can useful to each other.”
Read that a few times. It is missing the word "be". And by the way, that cover looks amazing. You kids ever heard of the term "Don't judge a book by it's cover?
Scott
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Max. Not good. Live free or die, don't let them make you into another labrat, even if they are the "good guys". I wish you luck. Fly free.
...I think its a girl on the cover...
hey people! that chapter was AMAZING. its like a birthday present to me, getting to finally read it(my b-day's tomorrow)!!!!! HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELLLL US YOU WERE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!???? ISN'T THAT THE KIND OF STUFF THE BLOG IS FOOOOOORRRRR!!!!!????? but i give you guys. not that it would especcially bother you if I didn't......anyway, good idea about the mirror/total thing. Keep flying!!!
our own government wants to make use of you?!? obviously they haven't been reading your books.
NO ONE uses MAXIMUM RIDE, or ANY of her friends.
but when's "The Final Warning" coming out? i SO want to read it!
oh, and tell Total a few words of wisdom for me...
"Silence is Golden"
"The World Does NOT Revolve Around You."
and my personal fav...
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
in other words, Total, build a bridge & get over it!
oh, and max, you are anything BUT a guinea pig. one of my friends has a bunch, and whenever someone gets into their cage, they run for cover. you stand and fight, like a falcon or some other deadly bird!
operative word being "deadly"
MFINGA signing off for now!
see ya later Flock!
i loved the expert!!!
Thanks for the excerpt. Looks like it'll be another good read.
~R.g.
The next book sounds just as amazing as the last books. Not that the others wern't amazing or anything.
can't wait
stay safe(as if)
wow.
im going to have to get that!
Elisabeth
Great idea!!!! At least that will keep Total happy. It's almost like he is NEVER happy. That's nothing new. GIVE ME A BREAK
wow i read that whole thing and cant believe it
its so awsome i cnat believe it
they want to study u guys
and thay have videos and pictures whats that about
whatever good luck guys!
I think the cover isn't good too. But who is on the cover and why is the person over an ocean?
A dvd cover! What did I tell you? Awesome, right? (perfect actress too)

i cant wait until the 4th book comes out, but yea u definately need a different cover maybe like a pic of all of you ( including total ) ! well plz keep blogging!
love steph
Just wondering... how come Fang hasn't posted any blogs lately?
It's either Max or Nudge or Iggy, but no Fang.
Well, that was cool to read that fascinating smidgen. Wish it could've told more...gotta go.
-icthus
Hehe, first time leaving a comment. I can't wait to read the next book, I'm just stcuk on it! The adventure is just awesome! I hope to hear more soon!
Hey Max, I know right? Why Start at Chapter six? I mean No Problem if it's chapter two but six? sheesh. Anyways I hope the School is over, but I don't think it is. Chapter Six seems like the government is in it too, with the white coats. Becareful. The cover is'nt that great though. It should be the whole flock on it. Hope you post soon.
- Jenny B.
OMG THE CHAPER 6 IS SOOOOOOOOO KOOL!!! OMG U GUYS GO TO THE GOVERNMENT????????? OMG!!
I read the chapter...
I didn't quiet like it because the adults knew about you and the rest of The Flock... but now, I REALLY can't wait until your book comes out♥
Words cannot express my excitement.
Cool. i like it.SO WHEN IS THE BOOK COMING OUT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!
the bookworm
AAAH! I started reading it and realised what it was! must...not...read...!
pffft. ahahaha burn!
yeah i just wanted to say that.
twenty humans vs the flock?
c'mon! make it fair. it should be at least forty humans. *grin*
also, what is total's use? not to be mean. but the white coats would not have made him if he was useless. and if he was a doodle they would have killed him. so what? what could he have been useful for?
I read chapter 6 on parade.com and am wondering WHEN IS THE BOOK COOMING OUT !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Thank you~~ <3.
-Poppy
cant belive that there is another book cant wait to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh so thats really the cover? Double ugh. But the exert is cool, I'm glad that your still against all the people at the School, max.
Who is that on the cover? Is it Gazzy? Iggy? FANG??????? No it wouldn't be Fang doesn't he have black hair? I hope to read the book the day it comes out!
wow, love the sneak peak!
hope you guys are safe..or at least some what.
come over to Oregon sometime!
The reason Total is never on the cover is for two reasons:
1) Last time I checked Total WASN'T named Maximum Ride
2) Total might just replace Fang in the hott scale- and he could be trampled by obsessive fangirls.
Don't read this part to Total (Can he read?) but #2 was sarcastic.
Dude people! That was awesome! I cannot wait for the book to come out. Yo, when EXACTLY DOES it come out? Hmmm? LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Nice Max, real nice. That's hilarious because we have to watch those movies in sch---education area! I know, it's stupid. But apparently, it 'helps us learn better. Yeah, stupid, I know.
Wait, silence? Max, PLEASE get JP to come out with the book faster, I can't handle waiting any longer.
You guys rock. Tell Iggy I'm in love with him!
Live, Love, and laugh
---Kat
Ahh omg i cant wait for the book. but im wondering what they are doing there with jeb and such i mean what Nerve he must have. But i guess ill just have to see! :]]
Max, you rock!
I can't say I'm too thrilled with the new cover art either - it looks like a mannequin with wings.
Aww man! And just when I thought the withdrawal was just getting better you guys go and release a snippet of the next book. Thanks a lot! Now I have to go re-read the whole series.
... No, really - THANK YOU. <3<3<3

~the fnick and figgy luver~
Well there in D.C, finally looks like there being noticed. Who knows what will happen next!
Could it be ari? or a eraser?
*gasps uncontrollably and then bursts into hysteric laughter* must read chapter! Must not... must! ... not... ARGH! why must it be chapter 6?!?!?! *sigh* fine. :P
Hey Avians,
I'm excited about the fourth book. CanNOT wait to read it. Soo... Fang... told Max you like her yet...?
heehee!
Love,
Ken-z
Haha! Good idea Max for tricking Total!!!!
What are you Avians, and mutant dog, doing for Christmas?
ARA
Dude I can't wait for your next book to come out!
Max~
Of course you can "agree to disagree", after all no one said you can't.
About that cover you found, are you thinking that maybe it could be the 'new character' you guys polled us about? I am.
I also think whenever Total gets mad or jealous about things like not being on the cover is cute. He is kind of like a child that wants all of the attention. No offense to you Total. Forgive me if I offended you.
Anyways, I am glad that you have taken a quick bonding to your mother Max. I'm happy to see you finally get what you want for once.
But try not to stay off guard (you probably never are, huh?). But seriously, try to be safe; all of you.
-Leo
I'm so excited about the next book! When do you think it will be published? Good luck on your journeys!
I'm not sure what to make of that chapter. Hope all the flock is ok!!! : )
I ABSOLUTLY CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHERE ALL OF YOUR ADVENTURES TAKE YOU IN YOUR NEXT BOOK!!!IM BOILING OVER WITH EXCITEMENT, ALTHOUGH I HATE TO PUT A DAMPER ON YOU POSSIBLY HAPPY AND OR EXCITED MOOD, BUT IM NOT ALL THAT CRAZY ABOUT THE COVER. HOPE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR LATEST ADVENTURES SOON!!!
SINCERLY,
AN EXCITED FAN
There is another version of the cover for the fourth book out on the web. you can find it on:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0385613695
this cover is much MUCH cooler and actually looks like max.. or atleast her silhouette.
btw.. who are you??
Oh wow they wanted you to go to a freakin school so they could study you? ok....weirdos. ya i didnt like the cover too much either because it ffnt evern have your logo on it!!! like how it says Maximum Ride with the wings? ya that was disappointing
Cool. But since the preview starts at chapter 6, I think I will wait for the book to come out so I can be surprised with chapter 6. =]
P.S. That is really your cover? NO way, it doesn't match your other ones. And maybe Total should be on it, it'd be cute. ^_^
Hey guys. I drew a picture of Fang, just thought I'd send it to ya. Plan on drawing the rest of the flock.

hmm. that's interesting. if i could just remind everyone what the inside cover of book 3 said. and i quote:
"This is the end, my friends.
But all good things-and even terrible, unspeakable ones-must come to an end. This is that moment in time, I'm afraid.
-Max"
lies! all lies! all this talk about "the end" and suddenly there's a 4th book. don't get me wrong, i'm excited for the book, but jeez!
-sarah
Good job with the White Coats Max. xD
Keep it up!
Love you guys... why is the cover person green????
looks like it is going to be the crappy cover. Damn. Still doens't affect whats inside the book
oooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can't wait for the new book!!!!!!
I hate Fang I hate Fang I hate Fang.
Whens Fang gonna blog again? please tell me he's not ozymandais'ed it :O:O
Nin
thanks for letting us read it max i love u guys
just a quick question on how I found Max's MySpace profile and sent an invite and it was never accepted. Do I need to meet a certain criteria to be accepted? I was kind of hurt. I'm not Avian in any sense except in my dreams, but I'd still like to be a part of it all.......
Havoc
i agree max
u shouldn't let anyone make u do somethin u don't want to do!
thats what i tell my mom everytime she tries to make me join the swim team! hahaha but anyway.... yea to tell u the truth.. i didn't rlly like the cover... is that suppose to be max? or is it the new character? it better not be max because max is wayyyyyy prettier then that!!! byeeeee
well, its good to hear from you, i wish they would have done a chapter with fang too <33
well the new book is gonna be gnarly.
MAX!!
TELL JP TO CHANGE THE DANG COVER
I AM ONE OF THE BIGGEST FANS AND I WILL NEVER BUY THE MR4 BOOK UNLESS U TELL HIM TO CHANGE THE DANG COVER!!!!
ITS FREAKY!!
the chapter was interesting. honestly max u should have sed sumthin like, "sorry but, after jeb left these kids became mine iggys, and Fangs. Motly mine but we where thier parents, friends,teachers, and siblings. Ive seen war and if u make my kids do anything like that or become study subjects like before and they get hurt, Not even FANG could hold me back from killing you." Then storm out! pull Fang with u and once in the hall way just loose it! I mean full out ballawing into his cheast. That would be the best way to deal with it!
ok people. the cover is NOT of max. she didnt even no who it was. SHE was the one who said is that an alien. its creeptacular. so its obvioulsy not her or any other member of the flock
First off: Awesome news about the new book. But I REALLY don't like the girl to play Max in the movie. The looks so much more like an older version of Angel or something. And now I'm super scared about who'll play Iggy. He's pretty much my fictional boyfriend. Bahahaa.
So, I have this question. What exactly does Max do when she's on her period? I mean... I hope she can do something...
- Haley Harlequin
Hey, the f'ing sucked. And I'm being nice here. Which is a shame cuz i did love Maximum Ride but JP, you f'ed it up. I'll still gunna read and buy the book but only because of the first 2. (Note: NOT THE 3rd)
I wonder if the M/B are up. hmm... they been down 4 so long I almost forgot there was MR messageboards!!!!
Anyway....
Try to regain the old Max in ya. I know shes still there.
And dont trust thoes freaking people! especaly Jeb and your so called 'Mom'.
TELL FANG I LOVE HIM!!!!!(The old him!!!)
M.R. forever.
EMILY
aaaaaaa. omg i already want to read it, Thanks a lot. You've got me going for a whole week, but not months!!!
*rebmarks*
I went back to the Parade website and read Mr. Patterson's favorite books for kids. That was cool to read, along with the letter to his son...I only have to disagree with the choice of the Golden Compass, because that book heavily implies that my religion is the Nazi organization of today. Nice to have you guys post again. *Merry Christmas (or other holiday) and a happy New Year!* that song, unfortunatley, is now stuck in my head.
-icthus
Don't let them study you! It ruins the suprise and of a new power suddenly showing up or just the pleasure of figuring it out for yourself! Plus, who's to say that they're even telling the truth!
Hey were are you guys now because if you are near New Jersey email me.Fly on
P.S DOnt trust the government! they seem fishy
I know this is COMPLETELY random, but when are the FLock's birthdays?
I know, I know, but it's been bugging me for some time, now.
Grrr. That's it? That's all we get? I WANT MORE!!!
Besides, when is the book coming out???
Jayde
Whoever is on the cover of the new book is probably really embarrased...
Hey sis!
hahaha thats just like the government to CARE...like how they care for our well being and such...haha
so the book is still coming out in the spring? i hope so.... i really want to read it.
luv ya lots flock!!
Max,my "name" is Crimson. I cannot wait until your new book comes out in March. My friend and I, Shadow, can't tell you how long we've been waiting for this book and the movie. Please don't let them make it into a cartoon! By the way, I know this might night be the best time to bring it up, but I'm working on a book about Ari's adventures that were not mentioned in the first 3 books. It's kinda like his journal.
Never stop flying,
Crimson
Hi Fang! Love the blog!I have one too!It's cool. I can type my feelings and everything on it!
Max? Max? U ok. That totally didn't seem like you! U know the book pg? It's scary. Max WERE EVER U R COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!! I;m so glad that we got a sneak preview, but really why chapter six why not the first chapter so we know what happens after the last book(3)?? Anyways you guys Rock!!!
wow, thats, strange. well, keep flyin'
fly high and above the radar (instead of under) and i hope you reach your goal, and i'm jealouse of max, XP, yea, o well, can't wait for the next book
That means that that's the official cover? Whoa... Hopefully it does look better on the shelf... Because that one's kind of scary...
Soar, guys.
Sarah.
Is the cover even legitamate? It looks pretty fake to me... I mean, wth? that person is pretty creepy looking and I agree; WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE!?
WOWOWOWWWW
Is that legaly on the internet or are we all going to get into leagal trouble for reading it? just wondering
Umm omg I don't knowww the people sound weird possibly school/itex related.....I don't know Max...I wouldn't trust them but I'd ask you're parents because they would know people from evil places like that.
Also I hate the cover and think that it should have Total on it!!!
Also do you watch 24? It's really good I think you would like it. It's my second favorite thing next to the flock and all you're books....
thanks for showing us that awesome excerpt....If Jeb can find out how to put wings on say...i dont know ..ME can you call me?like have Nudge trace the message and look me up on the internet....PLEASEEEEE
thanks
~Fang lover
Max, I on total's copy. Cant wait til the book comes out. Stay Safe.
-Gail
Also, all the people who are like Sara-la and Shy-la crim I LOVE those books too but honestly, Maximum Ride is slightly better. I love Scott Westerfield too BUT James Patterson takes the gold for me...
Wish I could Fly
~Fang Lover
oh geez... that exert was.. surprising? Let's just say, not what i expected.
I like, I like. But I, personally, don't think you should go for it. It would be so unlike you.
I'm happy for you and all, but the fact that you have adults around you unnerves me. Takes away the sense of rebellion I loved about the books. But I know it'll be good.
Question: Is that the fourth book, or is it just a companion novel? It doesn't have the Maximum Ride logo I love so much. Plus, in an e-mail I got it said the fourth would be called either "The Last Global Warming Warning" or "Ice Princes and Princesses". I suppose "The Final Warming" resembles "The Last Global Warming Warning", but come on! The logo! I need the logo, people! And the other covers were all so cool. That one's pretty hideous.
~Chance (CChancerB@aol.com)
I like the preview of Chapter 6. LOVE IT! Fast forward to March already!!!!!
I'm sooo inlove with the book again.. :)

Wow. so, yeah, wasn't SUPER crazy about the cover, but hey, if the flock likes it, I'm with them. It is THEIR BOOK, after all, am I right? Oh, and my little bro says you guys are awesome and keep beatin' up on mad scientist scum!
Take back the world!
It's all up to you, Max!
Max,
My "name" is Crimson. I cannot wait until the release of your new book and movie. My friend Shadow and I have highly anticipated this for a looong time. This may not be the best time to mention this, but I'm writing a book about Ari's side of the story. Like the stuff that isn't mention in the books. Kinda like his journal. Are there going to be casting calls for the movie? If so, I wan't to audition for Ari, Fang, or Iggy. Hope to read you and the flock in the new book.
Never stop flying,
Crimson
is the person on the cover...green? please, no!
<3 ya!!!!
The excerpt doesn't sound right. I mean, Max, since when do you say "to what end?" It sounds like . . . I dunno . . . Jeb . . . And, why did no-one else talk?
I can't wait for the new book! it sounds awesome!
The new cover really sucks! I' really sorry guys but it really does suck. You guys will always freakin rock!! Gasman and Iggy are the best!! You rock too Total!
Braxton

Your super loyal fan,

Hey guys, make sure they at least have a decent cover for your new book, I sure as heck wasn't all into that last one you guys posted. Peace.
Hey I saw your post when no one even commented on it and so i didn't comment....... But I love the 6th chapter its just so awesome.
gtg
Peace on earth and in the sky.
Fang and Max forever people!
Sorry I just had to say that!

Yay! I liked reading the chapter, I soooo missed your sarcastic and completely blunt voice. Now I'm gonna just read it over and over again! Yipee!
i'm so sorry, Total!
i wrote everything else but the info about the "words of wisdom"!
i left the computer on,leaving all the words out there, but i didn't expect my big sib to add their own words. so i'm sorry Total about the words to you, but everything else is true!
I don't know if you people know this but
1. there are DIFFERENT versions of the cover - like with Harry Potter; there is the adult version, the Canadian version, the American version and some others.
2. the 4th book (of Maximum Ride) will be coming out on March/ April (I'm SO excited!!)
3. did you know that www.maximumride.com is the website that is on the back of all of the Maximum Ride books
u shoulda asked them what they were gonna do about intex. (they should catch the director and blow that *cough*bitch*coughcough*up!)
I love Max Ride so much...
I wrote a poem about it..
I havent figured out a title for tho.
You can love it or hate it watever but
here it is:
Under the moonlight
the two figures stood
thinking of love
something they barely understood
their siblings were gone
asleep in a tree
while total and gasman snored heavily
they were in a field
a field that was vast
finally together
alone at last
They stood close together
their hearts filled with joy
The girl looked at her feet
and then at the boy
his eyes were dark
just like his wings
their minds racing with all sorts of things
the boy looked at the girl
and her smile so bliss
he brushed the hair from her face and then gave her a kiss.
I'm hoping you know who its about!!
OMG! Max that was awsome!
i trully relly can't wait for the book to come out, and bein in England sucks because i hav to wait even longer that you guys!!RRRRRRRR!! Blig again soon
all from your winged freind
FeAtGeR GiRl

FeAtHeR GiRl

Sniff...Now I really want to know what happens! Oh well. Thanks for the preview Max!
Uh, lets get this straight: You're working for the government now? That ruins the whole book! Run, Max! Please don't make this like the 3rd one which, let's face it, sucked.
the chapter was cool but i wouldn't kill them to start onchapter 1
keep on flying

Hiyas ^^
Huge fan/secret lurker Lynnie here. Great blog. I also saw your myspace- i sent you a friend request (Lady Shi is my other name.)
I love your books and am SO looking forward to the movie. I told my brother about it, and he says that he'll take me to see it since I'm only 14.
Now for messages for everyone:
Max: you rock!!!! and ignore the weird voice in your head. Thats what i do. (yes, i hear voices to. in the words of my cousin, i is a crazy person.)
Angel: Love you, dear, but pink is the color of evil. Move on to aqua marine. or purple. or blue. or, as i have, black. because black rules.
Iggy: love ya like a brother, dude! pyros forever! (but i cant find any of the right materials to make a small bomb. help me please?)
Gasman: love you too, but dude, when Max or Fang says to do something, DO IT. Theres a good chance that its for the best. or for their entertainment. whichever is their cup of tea.
Nudge: Love the word 'creeptacular'! I am SO using it in school on monday. and my friend Lashe says hi, and that you rock, and should go to her house for a makeover sometime.
Fang: Dude, you are SO my favorite. Black rules. And talking sucks. Plus 'the ones who say the least usually are the ones that have the most to say'. Maybe thats why im such a chatterbox online. eh. whatever. and heads up- stay away from Wilmington North Carolina, my friend Alanah says that if she ever sees you she's gonna kidnap you and do things that i refuse to repeat due to trying to preserve the innocence of the ONLY 14-year-old crazy head in my school.
but feel free to go to Utah! Im moving there with my mom on the 19th! we'll be flying. only in a plane. it would be so cool to fly with wings, instead of a plane. but i'd probably have trouble due to fear of hights caused by almost falling off a house roof. and im just ranting arent i? sorry.
OK, now I doubt this actually goes to the Flock, but Faxness forever!!!!
I want wings too (who doesn't) and don't care about the pain.
I can't wait for April!!!!!!!
Come on number 4!!!!
Oh, and if you can't wait, go to

For loads of Fanfiction about the flock, it's AMAZING!!!!!!

Hay, im carli. u kno, the one hu always ends with the Jo. ya, thats my middle name. Hey max, you kno wat scares me? the fact that in the united kingdomes, they made it legal to do wat they did to u, to other kids! somethin els that scares me is that u sound just like ME! same attitude, same bout fassion, sounds lke u live fr adventure, eat to no end with out gaining weigh, live fr freedome. sept i dont got no wings. wish i could be with u, but, sadly, i have to stick to the ground and id hold u back. so have a good time fling while i become the fastest runner the world has ever seen! maybe then i can join u and the flock! Better remember this name cause it will be important some day!:)
-Carli Jo!

How come Jeb didn't take out the expiration thingy? He could have put a knock-out thing in instead. What kind of father is he anyway?
Who's Ella's dad? Have you asked yet?
Anyway, keep flying, and come by Gilmer, Texas if you have time. I see you went to the Dallas game, lol. DON'T AGREE TO THE STUPID S.S. PEOPLE'S PLAN. Remember Anne Walker? Has she been arrested.
Noooooo.
Get Anne arrested, and sell out Marian Janssen too. Bye!
Becky, from Texas.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally. I've had a countdown for
MR4 since Novemeber. Now, (December 15, 07), there's only 94 days 'til it comes out!!!! And it sounds really good too! If I have to stand in line for hours, so be it.
Can't wait!!!!

well, this link is a much, much better cover.
(it's me by the way. Izza)
okay, that excerpt was not the best, but probably because it doesn't make much sense. then again, i already read the summary of the book, so maybe i should know what it is.
The excerpt from the book was amazing, as usual. I will surely be getting this book the day it comes out! keep on kicking major butt!
wow!
wow i think this post just won most essay long posts ever!
still love ya!
hey max ur awsome! thanks for posting that or i probly never would have found it oh and by the way theflockrocks!!! i think thats some sort of new experiment not nudge or max and nudge has black skin i think and max has blonde hair but Max thank you for posting that if u have any idea when the next book comes out please tell me
-abbegail-
Hey Fang-
I just reread the whole sieries and this is the first tim,e i chekced out the website. I love all the books and i hope this one WILL NOT be the last!!!!! :D So y do they have to only let us read CHAPTER 6?????? i love all u guys and think that u and max make the PERFECT couple. HAHAHA
~Semmagz~
Sounds good but the cover is Horrible it looks nothing like the other three and I loved those.
mmmmmm... do u think that my post this or i'll just keep sending this is getting annoying? but i don't think that i have established my name as a must post yet. u can always tell me on this public blog to stop sending stuff. though that wouldn't be fun would now. so with lovely grace and tactfulness i leave u with the usual...
By the way, I’ll just keep sending this if u don’t post. And don’t doubt that.
;)
fly high
Max,THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm very bored and really have nothing immediatly interesting to read until MR4 comes out next year.So basically,you just saved my life and sanity.You rock!!!And yeah I totally agree with the whole "Why start with chp.6?" thing.And I have been thinkin' about the cover and after reading that, I'm thinking Bill Nye was lying about not wanting to make more you and that was....more you.....in a sense anyway.:)
Anyway,I love you guys and you did save my sanity just then Max! bye!
Oh and have you heard the songs "Tears Don't Fall" by Bullet For My Valentine and "Until The End" by Breaking Benjamin?They remind me a lot of you guys.Especially Fang for some unknown reason...weird.Just thought I'd mention them!
If the next book comes out in March, then that's cool, because my birthday's in early April. Which means that it'll be a fabulous B-Day present. Yay! Only nine days until Xmas!

P.S. we don't get snow in San Diego except on the rarest occasion. But with all the rain (around 3 inches, and chilly weather) everything is greening up. All the neon green grass is so pretty. (have yourself a merry little Christmas, and a belated Happy Hannukah to those who hear that. I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas, just like the ones we always get!

~Loved1
he he ken-z your funny seriously max i think u should tell him u like him and no don't say the time u had valium and accidently told him doesn't count seriously but who the heck is that on the front of the cover i mean it has to be a odd, flying (and she's not odd because she's flying,)dark haired,white, girl and that doesn't describe any of the flock maybe it's an alien
p.s. i hate fang? why do you hate Fang?
hey ppl!
Now i'm wondering why they did Chapter 6?!
Did they happen to miss the vital action that leads up to it on purpose?!
They've got me really annoyed now!!
When will the 4th book come out??!!
Chee-
in England atm 20:14
PS. hi to max and the flock
Must....have......the......precious.....
last book? what the heck am i supposed to read now (besides everything else in the world, especially the twilight series, beside the point)??????????????????????????
maximum ride rules and u know it.
OMG!!! Now I am even more excited to read the next book!!!!!! I can't wait to read the other chapters!!! You guys rock!
Ok, I just thought of a strange thought, even though it doesn't have that much to do with the book thing, (Even though I read the Chapter Six or whatever chapter it is.) anyways, whats going to happen to Gazzy when his voice drops, I mean he can mimic voices so like is it going to drop like normal, or is it not going to or will no one be able to tell because he hides it?
hi i am cutie and i do agree.
any ways i made this and i want u 2 look at it. its : http://iluvblogs13.blogspot.com
i hope u lik it!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, cool. sounds like you're getting used to the internet, hmm? Well, i'm pretty excited about this, but i hope they chage the cover.
Fly hard, guys. Fly hard.
