Maximum Ride: Nevermore
Maximum Ride: Nevermore | James Patterson
8 posts | 64 read | 17 to read
"At once profound, spiritual, and witty, Master of the Three Ways is a remarkable work about human nature, the essence of life, and how to live simply and with awareness. In three hundred and fifty-seven verses, the author, Hung Ying-ming a seventeenth-century Chinese sage explores good and evil, honesty and deception, wisdom and foolishness, and heaven and hell. He draws from the wisdom of the Three Creeds Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism to impress upon us that by combining simple elegance with the ordinary, we can make our lives artistic and poetic. This sense, along with a particular understanding of Zen that makes art from the simple in everyday life, has permeated Chinese and Japanese culture to this day. The work is divided into two books. The first generally deals with the art of living in society and the second is concerned with man's solitude and contemplations of nature. These themes repeatedly spill over into each other, creating multiple levels of meaning."

I‘ll say that for all that build up, the ending was very short. I expected more from it. I thought it was just so many things going into the plot that the end of it was confusing for me. And I‘m not sure I totally understand what happened. Still an interesting read so I‘ll give it that but i‘m hoping the very last book can answer some of my questions!

This was a great sort-of-conclusion to the series. It could‘ve been the last book, but I guess an epilogue is nice too.

The finale of Maximum Ride takes the flock through more adventures to the end of the world.

Watching my nephew tonight while my sis-in-law is in a board meeting, so I‘m getting started on this one (long overdue reading it) while he eats dinner.

Today's author spotlight: James Patterson! In 2016, he topped Forbes's list of highest-paid authors for the third consecutive year in a row, taking in $95 million 😱! His estimated income for the past decade: $700 million. He donates heavily to book-related causes. If you want him to guide you through writing a novel, you can take his class at Masterclass.com. (I talked with him about it at #BEA17 & thanked him☺️!) #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

tammysue We ❤️ JP!! He's my hubbys favorite author!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 7y
tpixie Awesome you got to talk with him!! My theory is he has used his advertising background as an idea 💡 man, and by using co-writers , he's able to get more of his stories out AND able to spend more time with his son whom he had later in life! lol that's my theory about why he started using co-writers. Not certain why I felt I had to create a backstory for him!! 7y
