I meant if someone is spying on the flock for the school.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

I'm betting on Max's GPS thingy she tried to rip out.

Well, that's a given.

I'm just saying if one of the members of the flock is a spy, it would be Total or Fang.

Well since the third one came out we know no ones a spy but -

Do NOT accuse Fang of being a spy.

That will the fairest book deform,

Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,

aaah! no!
i hope fang isn't a spy.
i've only read the first one.
fang's really cool.
there's already kinda suspicion that fang's a spy in the first one.
Look, Queezle.

I won't ruin it for you then. Fang is my favorite character though. :) My friend bugs me because she says all he does is sit in the corner silently. That's what makes him Fang! She like Iggy better. :rolleyes:

He got rather talkitive in MR3. And Nudge stopped babbling! And... *squee* The Faxness! Ooo... must not tell...
I love those books, they are in my top ten. Anyone besides Holly go on the forum? I am an insane Faxness (Fang+Max):love1: :wub: shipper, and I approve of Iggella (Iggy+Ella) and Niggy (Nudge+Iggy, when they're older). I was right about who the voice was :leader: !

FAXNESS!!!!!

Look, Queezle.

You haven't read MR3 yet?
Scroll down for a small spoiler about Faxness.


















If you like Faxness, you will be rewarded by there being a TON of it in MR3!

Oh, these books.

My opinion(minor spoilers?):
The first one was pretty good. I enjoyed it to a satisfying level. Large amounts of the second book sucked horribly. I mean, come on. He totally skewered the character's personalities from the first book, and made them do things they wouldn't have ever done in the first book. Really, Patterson could have replaced a good portion of the second book with fan-fic and I wouldn't have known the difference. But otherwise, it was okay. Some good one-liners by Max were made.
Yet I had the same issue with the third book. The whole blog thing in my opinion was quite irreleavent(sp?). It was somewhat stupid. And Fang brakeing from the flock was stupid as well. And the blatant yet small touch of liberalism made it a bit hard to get through. But I must say, I did enjoy it fairly well.

Thus ending Apollo's Opinionated PSA of the Day.

See the other Max Ride thread for my opinion on that little rant.

Well I'm being a total hypocrite because I'm practically the queen of rants. So there you go.

yeah seriously Athena.
I agree, the blog was random and didn't fit in well. I also agree that he didn't keep up the personalities well. Nudge was always described as being really talkative, but she never was.
But I liked the second book and thought it was better than fanfic.
Look, Queezle.

I was referring to Apollo's comment.
Besides, sometimes fanfiction is as good as the book. Some people are really good at it.
I love fanfic!

I don't read fanfic, because the good is largely overpowered by the bad and the freakish. I wrote the beginning of a max ride fan fic once, but even though friends thought it was good, I felt like I was ripping off the original characters.

Isn't that the point?

I could never write fanfic, but I love other people's.
