Publisher Description
Max soars above the world . . . but in James Patterson's thrilling adventure, fantasy can come crashing down to reveal the nightmares of the Angel Experiment.
Maximum Ride and her "flock" -- Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel -- are just like ordinary kids, only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time.
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 whack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare: fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives.
Along the way, Max discovers that her purpose is save the world. But can she?

"This was an awesome book! The author made it seem like I was with them in the book! I also like how theres a puzzle that needs to be solved and slowly some questions are answered but more questions arise. I also love the adventure and the danger they face, but I love more the twists that some up in the book."

Quotes
-
“[A] skilled and compulsive tale.”
— Sunday Times -
“Themes from Patterson’s popular adult titles When the Wind Blows and The Lake House waft through this YA thriller, the author’s first in the genre.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“James Patterson’s facile writing and Evan Rachel Wood’s expressive, wide-eyed reading make this entrée for the teen audience a remarkable success…Wood has all the slang and colloquial pacing down pat. Teens will love the chaotic chases and frantic action—Wood in Max’s first-person narrative has the aura of a comic book superhero. The abridgment is smartly done, and Wood keeps listeners’ attention.”

“A compelling read.”

“An action-packed cross between Gertrude Chandler Warner’s Boxcar Children and Marvel Comics’ X-Men…Expect the Patterson name to attract a crossover audience of both adults and youth.”

" I wasn't sure if this book was gonna be any good or not, but I had heard people on the internet talking about it a while back and decided to check it out. I bought a copy and it only took me one day to read. But not because it was good. It took me one day to read because a) it was really easy, and b) I just wanted to get to the end of it so that I could start a better book. I didn't like it very much, although I think the idea is good, I just didn't really like the style of writing. "
