It had me at the first paragraph when it warns the reader to not read the book - perfect hook for teen readers. This is the book I'm going to recommend when everyone's recovering from the end of Harry Potter later this month. The Voice sends Max a vision and a mental map that leads the Flock through the sewer system into the Institute.

Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were cruelly experimented on. It's saddening that kids will read this trash and think it's good, but turn their nose up at legitimately good books. This is a James Patterson story for young adults and it is related to the James Patterson adult fiction novel "When the Wind Blows". Meanwhile, Angel is being badly mistreated at the School, forced to take part in exhausting and brutal experiments. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time…like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the “School” where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack-job scientists.The Flock tries to rescue her, but Ari Batchelder—the son of the Flock's "father", Jeb Batchelder—holds a gun to Max's head while she tries to get into the Erasers' helicopter, resulting in them getting away. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time. On the way, Max stops to rescue a girl named Ella but is shot in the shoulder; Ella's mom, a vet named Dr.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Written with all the wit and grace of a one-legged puppy, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment reveals its intentions within the first chapter alone. Maximum Ride follows the adventures of six children, each of whom is the product of a genetic experiment: they are 98% human, 2% bird. The Flock struggles to survive after the decimation of the planet, with many of their loved ones having died or gone missing.Book is in very good condition with minor general wear and tear, otherwise no other pre-loved markings.

One of my students recommended this book, and while I was intrigued by the premise, and the fact that the protagonist is a female action hero, I found the dialogue beyond basic (only an adult would imagine that kids really communicate like this) and the plot was a liitle repetitious. She and all the members of the “Flock”—Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel—are just like ordinary kids—only they have wings and can fly.So, with that said, I had really low expectations for this one, but the book really took me by surprise.
