Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
Have you ever wanted to fly like a bird? How would you feel if you actually were part bird? Would you have the courage to protect yourself and five others from death? Well then The Angel Experiment by James Patterson is the perfect book! Filled with action, mystery, and suspense, this book has something for everyone.
Meet Maximum Ride, or Max, a fourteen-year-old girl. At first glance, she may seem like your average teenager, but if you look closer, you'll see there's almost nothing average about her. Max is special because she is part bird. Gorgeous wings with a thirteen-foot wingspan cover her back, giving her the power of flight. She's not alone, though, because she fearlessly leads her flock of five other bird kids. Together, they keep each other safe from Erasers, who are half wolf men; whitecoats, the scary scientists out to get them; and the School, the feared prison of a place. Can these feathery heroes keep themselves alive, safe, and together?
I liked this book because the suspense is always building, and there are always new surprises popping up throughout the book, startling you into reading further. Patterson has a magnificent way of telling the story through both first and third person that you always know who's side of the story you're following. The descriptions of the feelings are so real, you actually feel anguished when the character is! Plus, the adventure is to die for, with an unexpected ending to top it off, leaving you waiting for more.
Will the flock survive? Can Max follow her fate and heart at the same time? Will the evil whitecoats capture them for their own needs? Read The Angel Experiment and you will be begging me to write reviews on the next books! :P
