Yes, I DID already finish MR4, and it's only 12 something on the day of its release. How may you ask? Well, I bought it at 9:45 this morning. (Thanks for taking me to Barnes and Noble Dad!) Anyway, it was easy to finish, because it was only 256 pages long.
So, here's my review. All in all, this one was good. But not good ENOUGH. *sigh*
Max still has the same wit that all of us Maximum Ride readers have come to love. Fang is still awesome as ever. There are Flock moments that make you laugh hysterically. New powers are running wild! (there's a moment in this book that is EXACTLY the same as my fanfic, which caused me to scream "NO WAY!") But that's the FIRST half.
The second half? Well, I must honestly say it was a bit dull. I mean, things happened yes, but it wasn't true MAXIMUM RIDE grade. aka, no major battles. Not even any small battles. Which I must say was disappointing. Basically, there wasn't enough action!
This book seemed sort of just like a filler between the third and fifth. And there is CERTAINLY going to be a fifth, because a question was raised in this one that wasn't solved by the end. I'm not dying right now because I know that.
All in all, the first half was great, and I was geared up for action galore...but I was disappointed. But there DEFINITELY is going to be another book, so hopefully the next will be a bit more exciting. Basically, I look at this one as just a filler novel connecting the third and fifth.
*sigh* So basically, I begin the countdown to the NEXT Maximum Ride novel...as soon as I find out the release date.

Feel Freedom's Embrace
I don't know what this is supposed to be. It may be a poem, but it's not in poem form. It may be a message, even though it isn't to anyone in particular. It's just a piece of writing, or maybe it's a look inside of what the world may need to grasp. It sort of just... flowed when I wanted to write. Not much thought went into this. It was mostly feeling like I touched upon wherever my deeper thoughts and creativity lies. Whatever this is, I call it "Feel Freedom's Embrace."
I FEEL that trouble is in a way, sought.
Can't we just LEAVE the problems be, instead of simply crying for naught?
ASK for escape, yet refuse to LET GO of what holds you.
DWELL in the past, as the breeze rushes past, carrying lost opportunities for NOW.
Don't hold on. Let go. FALL.
FALL away from what you FEEL is holding you back.
FEEL the ocean. Have the POWER to alter destinies.
BREATHE in the scent of a morning meadow. FEEL peace.
LOOK for the blooming flower. KNOW that things will change.
RAISE your face to the sunshine instead of LOOKING to the shadows, asking to be released.
FEEL FREE.
