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.… 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?

“3.5 out of 5 stars! I really wasn’t sure what to expect at first with this book. But once I got started I couldn’t stop! Kind of written…”

I really enjoy this book and the rest of the series. My personal favorite is this book and my favorite character is Max. I love her sassy/sarcastic attitude and spunk.
It’s a wonderful book, an action packed page turner. You won’t put it down until you’ve finished it. It will keep you up all night. An edge of your seat thriller.
This series of books is gripping. Is it fantasy? Yes. Could it happen? Maybe. Not just for kids; I’ve read the series twice.
I own all the books in this series. I fell in love with Max’s character in Mr. PATTERSON’S “When the Wind Blows”. I will follow Max wherever she goes
Absolutely a fun read.
Lively read,a definite page turner!
I loved this book and think James Patterson is an amazing writer. This story is action packed with fun and adventure, with a little tang. It can bring you down, and then raise you right back up. I completely recommend this book and feel bad for anyone who hasn’t already read it, or atleast started it. Looking for the one. I’m new to bookbub.com so …
good.
love the book
Loved the entire series.
Painfully dull read.
Even though I’m elderly, I enjoy the adventure of Maximum, and her friends
Quick and entertaining!
Great change of pace read, but not sure I’ll finish the series.
Loved the characters, though.
I liked the storyline but not the way it ended.
I love James Patterson but didn’t care for the book. I think the target audience is for tweens. The writing style was not sophisticated. The resolutions to cliff hangers were weak & it wasn’t plausible. The basic premise was interesting but the execution was juvenile.
Would read over again….kept me anxious to read the next page.
Don’t want another one like this!! Ugg!
This book is a fantastical start to an outstanding series. I definitely recommend this book for any Young Adult or Adult looking for fantasy, action, and suspense.
