I'd read the first one, first (haven't read any yet), as I often find that a series read out of order can be confusing, full of spoilers and when you go backwards the author's earlier writing style isn't as polished.

I follow your blog on googlereader.

I haven't read any yet, but I think I would start with Max.

I've heard awesome things about James Patterson's books. The Maximum ride books remind me of the Dark Angel series that was on for awhile, except these are cross breads with bird DNA. No I haven't had a chance to read any of them yet, as I said I've heard alot about them. I would love given the choice to start with the first book of the series.
Thanks for this opportunity!

I haven't read any of these books **hangs my head in shame**, but I would just love to win these, read them and pass them to my dad.

My dad has read some of them, but I'm not sure which ones and he'd be happy to re read them.

Thanks very much!

Great March madness giveaway!
I haven't read any of the Maximum Ride books, but once I get started I'll probably want to read them all, so I'm glad you're giving away the whole set!
I would probably want to start reading at book #1... isn't that how series are meant to be read?

I always want to read the first in a series first. My 15yo is reading THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT right now and loves it! She borrowed it from a friend. =)

Ladytink_534 said...

I've never read this series before, nor that many of Patterson's other books but those I have, I've enjoyed. These sound cooler than any of them! I like to read series in order so I'd have to read The Angel Experiment first.

I want to read all of this, but havent read anything yet of earlier series, so I just might start from the beginning! :)

Bookfool said...

I haven't read any, so I'd start at the beginning. My son is a fan of this series. I'm not sure how far he's gotten. We have trouble finding books he likes and often forget when we make it to the big-city bookstore.

techyone said...

THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT since I haven't read any of this series. But I have read an excerpt in one of his other books. He's an great author.

Minding Spot said...

I haven't read this series yet, but I've read a lot of other Patterson books! Love his writing:) So, I would have to start with book one, The Angel Experiment, since I'm one of those folks that has to read a series starting from book one.

Also, I am a follower :0

Great give-away!!

My favourite book is "The Final Warning" because it is a great ending :)

I love Patterson Books. I would start with the first book, but I'm curious if this is the same Max character from the book "When the Wind Blows". I read this over a year ago.

I have signed up as a follower. Best of Luck reaching 100.

Bingo said...

Thank you everyone, and especially Kerri. I am 24 away from 100 and that could be weeks but I am getting there. Just wait as when I do reach 100 followers, I will have to have a big giveaway celebration!...but first let's finish with this one as I have lots of entries...thanks all!
