I started the Maximum Ride series and grew to hate it. It began to feel it was never ending. I finally gave up.
ReplyDeleteI like some of James Patterson's work, but I don't think I am familiar with the series you mention. I will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteYou did a lot better with this than I did :)
ReplyDeleteHalf way through the book if the darn cover starts flapping, I take it off while reading - sometimes, and then put it on again when it's set aside. Thanks for the book suggestions. very much!
