My favorite books. I've read them each 3 times. There are 3 books out now & one due this summer. I looooove James Patterson!!!
P.S. They are making a movie based on this book.

is this the same as When the Wind Blows and The Lake House??? Same characters but different story?

**pacosdad** · #3 (**permalink**) 02-25-2008, 12:57 PM

i just googled it

Yes & no.

There is Max in When the wind blows & also The Lake House.

Not the same characters & not the same story. I guess he just likes to name all his bird girls "max"

I went to the library this morning and got the audio version of the first one. i felt silly since they are in the young adults section, but so far so good

Young adult section? I guess I like the easy reads!!
I'm glad you like it....I love Max!!

I have a feeling I will be getting the others in the series as soon as I finish this one.

eh, Lord of the Rings was in that sections too...not an easy read(from what i hear).

Did I mention that the 4th is due out March 17? I'm so excited!!

He said it was ending with the 3rd but tricked us all. You'll be happy.

I need to read them again before the 4th comes out.

These authors get us hooked with their series!! I'll be looking for it

**pacosdad** · #11 (**permalink**) 02-29-2008, 12:42 PM

onelove · #12 (**permalink**) 02-29-2008, 04:24 PM

Yeah! I'm sooooo excited for the 4th. I'm gonna start the 1st one over tonight.

You still like it?

**pacosdad** · #13 (**permalink**) 03-03-2008, 10:01 AM

i still like it. i finished the second one yesterday. the library has the third one checked out, but i have it reserved

My daughter just finished When The Wind Blows (a little advanced for her but oh well) & she went to the library to get the first Max. Ride. She's been dying to read it & I'm gonna let her. She wants to race to see who finishes first but it's not really fair because she's at school all day & I'm not!!

How old is your daughter? It's good that she likes to read so much! I have fallen out of the habit. i get the audio versions(unabridged if possible)to help with my daily commute. I think When the Wind Blows was my first James Patterson novel.

Same here....I had forgotten it had some naughty parts but I read mine in middle school.

My daughter is 10 but she's quite smart

**pacosdad** · #17 (**permalink**) 03-03-2008, 04:09 PM

impressive!!

i don't remeber the naughty parts either.

**pacosdad** · #18 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 11:36 AM

bought the third in the series at the airport on my way back from san antonio on monday. great!!!!!! i'll have to go out and get the fourth one this weekend.

onelove · #19 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 12:21 PM

The 4th is only 256 pages long

And the cover doesn't look like the one above....I really wanted that cover because it's bad ass!

**pacosdad** · #20 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 12:54 PM

wow..that's a short one. i wonder why they changed the cover

i agree, that one above is awesome!! so, is this the last one?

onelove · #21 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 02:59 PM

I haven't read it yet.....I just had to buy it the day it came out

**pacosdad** · #22 (**permalink**) 03-27-2008, 12:04 PM

**pacosdad** · #23 (**permalink**) 05-05-2008, 02:29 PM

onelove · #24 (**permalink**) 05-05-2008, 03:41 PM

Jesse-it's so funny because I haven't even read it yet. I didn't want to because I was afraid it was ending, but.......
