I find it slightly disturbing that people are so out of tune with themselves that they cannot even recognize that they characters lack basic, human social skills. Stupidity is one thing; Stupidity begets stupidity, but...really? 'Oooh! The guy who is slowly slinking away from me with a scared look on his face is just being MYSTERIOUS and HARD TO GET. I think I just wet myself!'

Eww...I just grossed myself out. *shivers*

Ah, smart move. I never read the Maximum Ride novels. Are they any good? Guessing by your sarcastic title (See? I have basic social skillz!) I'm going to venture...no.
