If you want to read a fast paced, action packed, over the top, yet simple book. Then Maximum Ride is the book to read!
I read this book over the summer and it literally transported me everywhere that Max and the gang went. This is basically about experimental kids that have wings and are running away from evil wolf like creature kids. I recommend this book to everyone out there! Seriously... anyways this was my reaction through out the whole book.

Wizards? Meh. Vampires? Ew. Winged bird kids? Now that's what I'm talking about! The Angel Experiment is the first book in the Maximum Ride Series. Six kids who, might I add, are two-perecent bird are on the run. They escaped the dreadful laboratory named the School four years ago, but now they want them back. The Angel Experiment is full of action and adventure, and most importantly, humor. Luckily, the fun doesn't end here - if you enjoyed this book, then don't forget to pick up the next one in the series, School's Out Forever.

This was my favorite book from my childhood. I reread this before gifting it to my fiance’s younger sister so I could hang in convo with her. It transported me back to when I was in fifth grade reading this book for the first time. Then again when I reread it in middle school. I’m such a nostalgic person and being able to share something I loved with someone I love was as rewarding to me as reading the book itself. i love max’s character, she really got me started with strong-willed female main characters. Fang was my first fictional love so rereading and getting to re experience what my younger self loved was priceless

I read this as a tween, loved the concept. Reading it back now, I see this for what it was. This was a rush job, probably written in fanfiction-esque "by the seat of their pants" way in how chapters end in sudden cliffhangers, as if you have to wait for the next installment. Beyond that, the two halves of the book feel like completely different stories. Rescuing Angel should have, and could have been an entire book on its own, but instead there is a New York City filler arc... Books should not have filler arcs.
Also, brief aside, to any aspiring writer who may be reading this, your book is only as tense as you make it. If your characters have time to take detours and do side plots that do not actually advance the story as a whole, it will make it feel as though the stakes do not matter. Urgency is shown in action.

This book is one of the only books I could get my sister (who hated reading at the time) and it is the books that finally got her interested in reading. Now sometimes she reads more than I do. Sometimes. Thank goodness this book was written or she may never have found reading enjoyable. I think what made her start to like the book was the short chapters which only egg you on to read more because It makes it seem short and the great story and action. All I have to say is thank you James Patterson!
