Reading Max’s jokes in Maximum Ride will make readers laugh, because she is so witty and has great comebacks. In the Maximum Ride series, most of the humor comes from things Max is thinking, while in I am Number Four, almost all of the funny lines are spoken. The main character in Maximum Ride, Max, has a sense of humor that is typically sarcastic, while John, the protagonist in I am Number Four is usually more ironic. There is a lot of humor in both books, but overall, the jokes in Maximum Ride are more amusing. Maximum Ride is undoubtedly the better of the two, but both are very well written and have good plot lines. The point of view and the way the story is told also sets the books apart. They have excellent character description, but the authors of each book do it very differently. The comic relief in both books is exceptional. They have similarities and differences, but Maximum Ride is definitely better. I am Number 4 by Pittacus Lore (aka James Frey and Jobie Hughes) and the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, which includes the books The Angel Experiment, School’s Out- Forever, Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, The Final Warning, Max, Fang, and Angel, are fantastic books.
