Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (Maximum Ride #3)

Reader reviewed by abscae

Still loving the series, and actually, I'm more in love. I made the mistake of reading the fourth one first, but still, it was amazing.

I think the best part I liked was the fact that Max seems more likable. The overall book because slightly less confusing for me, and I really got into it after a while. And despite everything else, I really found times where I was laughing out loud.

A definite read. If you liked this one, I'd suggest Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters series.

The Maximum Ride series has been one of my favorite series for a while now, though I am still in the process of collecting it, and I would highly recommend it.


Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports is the third in the Maximum Ride series. If you're new to this series, it is about winged kids and genetic experiments. There's drama, action, and even some romance; a little bit of something for everyone.


It's hard to say which of the three so far was the best; they're all fantastic. Also, there's going to be another one coming out called The Final Warning. I read an excerpt, and it seems okay so far. I'll probably read and review it when it comes out.


I think everyone should read the Maximum Ride series; it should be mandatory because they are such great books!

Max has enough trouble trying to keep her Flock of flying kids together but now, she has to save the world? Max is confuzed and ready to take a break, but she embarks on a mission to find out the truth once and for all.

This book was just as good, maybe even better than the first two. Max is always a great character with a big personality, and the other characters are developed even more. This is really hilarious and surprising. Big hopes for the next book.

Max is back with all the attitude, adventure, and amazing surprises that weve come to expect from the Maximum Ride series. As the Erasers come to their expiry date, a new, terrible threat looms over the horizon and the flocks not as tight-knit as it used to be. However, the message about Maxs predicament is spreading and thanks to children all around the world, it looks like Max might have a chance.

I loved this book, the plot twists had me gasping and I could never have imagined the ending.I loved all of the witty remarks that Max came up with; you can really learn a lot from her. She had me laughing all the way through, I can never explain her personality thoroughly, shes just Max. What I didnt like was how quickly Fangs character developed, he goes from moody in Schools Out Forever to more extroverted and writing a world-wide blog just a couple of chapters in to Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports. However, the ending was a bit too perfect, is there hope for a sequel?
