Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Patterson, James. Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. New York: Hachette, 2006. 413 pages. (Sci-Fi / Thriller)

I bet you have never run away from werewolf like creatures who were programmed just to destroy you. I also bet that you have never experienced what it’s like to have wings and soar through the sky. Well, I can’t say the same for Maximum Ride. Her and her 5 friends, Angel, Fang, Gasman, Iggy, and Nudge, are all 98% human and 2% bird. They all have wings. They escaped from a laboratory called the School and are on the run. At the School, they genetically altar kids into any kind of creature imaginable. Which is how Max and her gang ran into the Erasers. Erasers are part dog. They have hairy faces, razor sharp teeth, and claws. But they’re no match for Max and her best friends. Join the ride as you become a part of the experiment and follow Max through obstacles only she could face. You’re in for a shock.

This is an absolutely amazing book. Once I started, I could never put it down! It’s totally action packed from beginning to end. A must read for ALL! It’s written so well, you see it as a movie in your head. Maximum Ride is full of non stop action, amazing plot twists, and weird creatures. This is the first in the incredible series. James Patterson, the author, calls this book “My favorite story, and probably my best”
