James Patterson Answers Q and A on 'Nevermore' and gives a Movie Update

Here is a link (because its rather long) to where James Patterson has answered questions on the last book in the Maximum Ride Series, 'Nevermore'.

(LINK)

However I will pul out two excerpts from the interview. The first pertaining to the movie and the second to the ending of nevermore.

Q. Do you really enjoy hearing from fans and listening to them debate about aspects like whether Max should end up with Fang or Dylan?

A. I love it. They're involved, and when you get kids making videos, they are involved. I'm sure also that, as much as I think it's a good ending, some kids are going to be going, "That's not what I wanted to happen!" because they get so deeply into it. One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved and they do create and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great — it means their brains are working.

I also think we're closer to the movie than we've been. I never know for sure in Hollywood, but it's definitely warm now.

Q. Do you have any new updates on a film adaptation?

A. I'm very hopeful as opposed to mildly depressed. [Laughs]

All I'm thinking right now is that I had better not be "one of those kids going 'thats not what I wanted to happen'". Don't say I did not warm you James Patterson *Brandishes Pitch-Fork Menacingly*

Rumour: ANGEL Deluxe inc. Fangs point of view

Here is the newest ANGEL deluxe edition update we have, from someone who has received the book.

I got the ANGEL-deluxe edition, and they don't have chapter numbers. But I liked FANG's point of view (when him and his flock are fighting ERASERS (which is funny cause the erasers were supposed to be exterminated/retired).

Thankyou very much for this tip. It is of great help and much appreciated.

Nevermore (Maximum Ride 8#) Book details and rumor confirmed

So details of the upcoming Maximum Ride book have been shaky but some facts have finally been confirmed on the Max-Dan-Wiz site. Although these are said to be 'official' be on the eye out for changes because as we have seen how often they diverge.

Here is the newly confirmed info...

Release Date: 6th August

Page Count: 368 pages

Plot Teaser: One last chance for Max, Fang and Dylan before it all ends. Are you ready for the final chapter? Are you ready for the ultimate fight? Because THIS IS IT. One last incredible, explosive adventure with an astonishing ending no one could have seen coming.

There it is. everything we know about the book laid out. Its really not much is it? Nice to have that rumor confirmed but. I kinda hope -even though its a stretch- that the use of the word 'explosive' means Iggy gets more page time... probably not but.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Rumours about Iggy and Max from Maximum Ride Novels

Rumour about Iggy...

Found this on wiki ages ago and i coppied it but when i went back it was gone..

here it is...

"Iggy-The flocks blind weapons expert and Gazzys best friend. He wasent originally born blind, but his eyes were destroyed in an experiment while he was at the lab. He has the ablility to 'see' the colour of an object by touching it. He has two girls from California chasing after him-there names are Bre and Selena. He also turns 15 in the book FANG."

The part that got me was the 2 girls chasing him... has anybody ever seen that before or know anything about it. Would be great to confirm this.
