" Transgenics and their possible future... treated like humans or animals. The question thats we will face in the future is how we will deal with them. This book is like a sequel to "Next" by Michael Chrichton, but more exiting! Made more exiting by heartless scientists. "

" I like James Patterson, but I found this story a little too far from reality. I like to escape once in awhile, but children with wings hidden in some bio-medical camp was a bit too much for me. "

" This is by far my favorite of his books. The story was fresh and exciting and there were just enough details and science to feel like it could really happen. It wasn't predictable as some of his thrillers are. It's just different. A great read! "

" As a whole, this book was an excellent read, fast-paced and thought-provoking. Despite man's best intentions, we tend to place our own interests before all else. Science tends to act before considering whether it should, and mankind has a propensity to destroy rather than heal. "

" I found this book easy to read and certainly kept my attention. It is a scary idea that could some day be true (at least parts of it). I enjoyed the charactors and will continue to read the series. There are surprises and you aren't sure how it will end until it does.

" Goodreads LIES. This book has a girl named Max with wings and several other bird children who escape from the horrible "School," but this is NOT a Maximum Ride book. >:C James Patterson even says in the Maximum Ride books that the similarities end there.

" It was after reading this effort that I gave up on Patterson. This seemed slipshod and rushed. He seemed to make the same points over and over again, seelingly trying to flesh out a whole book. Could've been a fair short story.

" When I picked this book up from the library, I didn't realize that it was the first of the Max Ride series. It was okay. Some spots corny.
I was just looking for books of James Patterson that I had not read. This was one.
