Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Product Information

Later on, I had a blast with the next two books; I remember reading the third one just after starting a long car trip my parents, and it was such a rush, it made me really hyped up. Here, there's a "family" of laboratory-created children that are winged flyers (like Angel, from said X-Men,) who escaped from their "school. Their plan goes awry when Gazzy fails to disarm all the bombs under the gathering spot, and the bombs explode while Fang, Gazzy, and Angel are still in the blast radius. I was in grade 6 at school (age 11) when my friend in grade 7 told me they were reading this book in class. From page one, where the reader is implored to not put the book down, literally ("keep reading, it could save your life"), it's obvious that this book is just a passionless cash cow.

His characters were also very poorly drawn which made it difficult to be concerned about any of them. Some questionable actions (that these kids exhibit to survive) that most parents probably wouldn't want promoted or justified to their kids, such as stealing and destruction of property.The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective. Each member of this group has been created with super-human abilities like great speed, strength, physic powers, and flight. If you like to read action packed, quick books, I suggest giving this a try, and hopefully, you'll like it as much as I did. The series is a reboot of Patterson's earlier novels When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, which were aimed for older audiences.

Worse than the one-dimensional characters and the freakishly awful writing are the countless pages devoted entirely to filler. evil of Harry Potter, some of the artificially-created destiny from Ender's Game, throw in the flying fantasies from Eragon and mix them in with Patterson's trademark flippant characterization, and you've got Maximum Ride.Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. When Max meets up with the rest of the flock they start to travel to the school again and end up getting attacked by the Erasers. There's also a line I found randomly flipping towards the back of the book that described the new Erasers as half-wolf, half-human, and half-avian.

They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. I actually made my best friend read them too and she borrowed them from me and we used to fangirl over them. I know a lot of people fell in love with reading through harry potter but I guess my reading journey was a little bit different! This book was amazing even though sometimes i got a little caught up and had to flick back a few pages. I'm kind of mean, but if I see a little kid in Wal-Mart whining and demanding a toy it just grates on my nerves like nothing else.

Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father figure Jeb - now her betrayed and greatest enemy - that her purpose is save the world--but can she? Later, the government enlists their help in finding out what is destroying hundreds of ships and killing millions of fish off the coast of Hawaii.
