Fang

Fang

I have recently finished reading Fang by James Patterson. In the book, Maximum Ride (Max) is basically trying to save the world from all the scientists trying to destroy it. She's been through so many things-having people betraying her left and right, getting into fights with close people, and people dying- but one day, Angel-Max's backstabbing friend who can't seem to make up her mind on being on the good side or bad side- makes a prophecy: "Fang will be the 1st one to die. And it will be soon."  So while Max has to deal with Fang's coming death of her shoulders, she also has to deal with the coming of her perfect other half, Dylan. She also has to deal with the end of world thing...so...Max has a lot to deal with.  

 Now, with all, you can't really blame Max for not wanting to side with Dr. Gunther-Hagen, a scientist who says he can help Max with the whole saving the world thing. And the one who created Dylan, which of course is not helping him in this case. (The whole perfect half thing is really bothering Max.) Personally, I think Max was right to not accept the alliance thing. For one, I'm a big Fang and Max fan, there is no way Dylan is Max's other half-he hardly knows her! I know I'm being biased here, but there are other reasons! Just that's my big one. (Sorry to all those DylanxMax Fans xD) Another reason is that, Max has trusted so many people, and they all broken it. Jeb-another scientist-helps prove this too! Jeb promised that he would always be there for Max, that he would always help her with whatever she needed help with. Look at him now-siding with the enemy (*cough*) and just ending up hurting Max. Now, I don't really think Hagen can hurt Max emotionally, but like, many scientists that Max knows always end up hurting her, they just manipulate her into getting what they want. So personally, I think Max is right not to take this whole alliance thing with Hagen, what good would it do? Max should only be trusting the members of her flocks, they're her family!

But then again...Max can't always trust her Flock Family. Especially her little girl, Angel. Angel, the 6 (7 in this book) blond mind-reading and other amazing power girl, isn't exactly trustworthy. Many times she has been caught working for the School (Read Book 3 ._.) and has been known to backstab Max. All because the little girl wants to be Leader. 'Cause she feels she can lead the Flock better than Max can, 'cause she feels just because she's more poweful than Max, with all her amazing powers, she can lead the Flock and make them... survive. Also because she feels Max is getting to involved with Fang that Max doesn't care for the Flock anymore. So can Max really trust anyone? Angel, the one Max adores has proven to her she can't trust family, and Max can't seem to trust others so who can Max trust? Only herself? Does she have to be the lone wolf ? (A-wooooo! xD) 

Trust. Something Max isn't sure who she can trust with. People just love to break her trust for her own things! Maybe Max should become a lone wolf. (Well, maybe lone bird since she's a bird-kid...) Maybe there's one person who won't break her trust, the one who was made for her (The one I don't support!) Dylan. He was made for her so how could he break her trust? But, Max also doesn't trust him, she doesn't want him near her 'cause she feels that he's just there to annoy her or something with the whole I'm your perfect other half thing. Looks like Max need to become a lone bird-kid...
