Book Description:
Get ready for the maximum thrill ride from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson. Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, Angel, and Maximum: Six kids who are pretty normal in most ways--except that theyre 98% human and 2% bird. Riding the wind, their wings are an amazing gift...and yet, their world can morph into a nightmare in a single instant. For when the bloodthirsty Erasers--half men, half-wolves genetically engineered by sick and sinister scientists--kidnap little Angel, the Flock embarks on a rescue mission that will change them forever. From Death Valley, California, to the bowels of the New York City subway system, 14-year-old Max leads her five feisty "family" members on a journey full of nonstop action, adventure, and soul-seeking--not to mention a little bit of saving the world on the side.

Keep in mind, this was written for the younger set. That said, I think it was great - I read it through in one day. It's not like his adult books but I think it will go over well with younger readers.

A fun, light novel about kids with wings. The writing style is very fresh and current and the story is good. Not War and Peace, but a good summer read.

This is one of the James Pattersons book he wrote, totally different than the ones he normally writes. I think is took a different approach in this book.

Not bad for a *teen* book, although at first I thought it a sequel to Lake House ..

I read quite a few YA books and this one was certainly NOT one that I would recommend. It seemed flat and written "down" just because the target reader is a "youth" doesn't mean the writer has to write "down", being young doesn't mean that the reader can't understand good writing. If you want a good YA series skip Patterson and read some of Scott Westerfeld's books or Jonathan Stroud, at least those authors aren't just trying to fulfill a contract for their editor which is what this book felt like. Flat & rushed.
I loved this book and the two after it. I initially read Where The Wind Blows and Beach House which are the 'adult' version of this story about a group of children who have been injected in utero with bird DNA and what they will do to be free.
This was a great book. I am looking forward to the next one. I love a plot that is different and this is very different.
Loved this book can't wait until I get the next one.
JUST ANOTHER GREAT JAMES PATTERSON BOOK!
Very intriguing YA urban fantasy, but the author never really recognized the potential of the story.
