He has a very successful series of YA called Maximum Ride and he has done a ton of thrillers.
Hi. I was a Maximum Ride fan as a teenager.
It's ghostwritten. And not by just one author, it's ghostwritten by a couple of them. Plot points get forgotten, powers and abilities just change without warning, characters start making erratic decisions, and the status quo varies from book to book. Hell, Max's hair even changes color once for no particular reason.
That's quite hilarious and I hope, if Hollywood driven by their desperation decices to make a Maximum Ride movie, then in it now and then Max switches hair color with no apparent reason and without anyone addressing it.
Oh, I know. My wife loves them. I mean, recently, most of his books have been him and someone else. Full marks haven't really gone to him in a while.
