Product Description
Characters based on James Patterson's international bestsellers When the Wind Blows and The Lake House are re-invented in Maximum Ride and are launched on the ultimate action-packed adventure full of humor and suspense.
Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "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--like when Angel, the youngest member of the "Flock," is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were genetically engineered by sinister scientists. Her friends brave a journey to Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving 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 from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

Fast Paced and Highly Entertaining December 1, 2008
The book is about very special children struggling to find out who their parents are and how they came to be subjected to the cruel and dehumanizing "school." The characters are memorable and courageous in their continual flight from the relentless "erasers."
 great for teens and kids that do not like to read November 25, 2008
great for teens because it talks about wild adventures that kids and teens go through. i am 14 years old and used to hate reading. then my parents bought me this kindle and let me buy this book. now i find reading more exciting. i loved this book so much that it only took me a week to read it and it's 440 pgs.
So good I shared it with my teen to read. November 8, 2008
The Angel Experimetn was a book I could not put down. The characters wer somewhat fantasy and you questioned if this really did happen. The suspense kept me reading. I loved this story to the extend I had my teen daughter read it and she couldn't put it down. Eliza Rey
Fantastic Book October 25, 2008
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommend this book for readers of any age. It is one of the few books I would consider reading front to back and then immediately start reading again.

Well the title of the series, "Maximum Ride," basically sums up the book for you: the main character's name is Maximum Ride, and her life is a maximum ride.
Maximum Ride and her 'siblings' are 98% human, 2% bird. Half-human, half-wolf creaures called Erasers' life's work is to hunt them down.
This book defines "action-packed."
You may think that this is a long read because of its number of pages, four-hundred and something I think, but the short chapters make it a fast read. I myself am a very slow reader, but I read this surprisingly fast.
If you don't feel like clipping your nails, I'm warning you, they'll be shorter before you know it from reading this book.
I don't think that there was one part in this book that bored me.
I haven't read book two of Maximum Ride, but I can't wait!!!!!!
If the rest of this series is as good as the first book, this will be an amazing series.
READ THIS BOOK. JUST READ IT. Thank me later.
