Search - The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Bk 1)

A very good book, works great for any age level. This book goes on about a group of children who were experiments and how they have banded together to create their own family in the face of danger.

Absolutely charming and fun to read. Although it's not classified as a book for young adults, my 12-yr-old daughter and all of her friends read it and loved it. My daughter carried the book everywhere she went and couldn't put it down - and, that's a first! I'm a Patterson fan, and I cannot believe this is his work because it's so unlike anything else he has written. Excellent read for adults and "tweens." Feel free to email with any questions. ~LeAnn

This book sucks. The plot is lame and the writing is lame. If you need some toilet paper for when you go camping than get this book.

Although the book had its strong points, it wasn't one of my favorite reads. The book lacked a solid plot and the same events happened in nearly every chapter - group faces peril and escapes. The ending is inconclusive and highly dissapointing leaving the reader exactly where we started - confused.

I really liked this book, but I felt that there was not enough back story, no explanations as to what happened to these bird kids, why they were experimented on, who their parents were, just tortuous hints that they were supposed to save the world. Also, after 400 plus pages of repeated escape and capture, I was a bit annoyed with the cliffhanger ending. I do realize this is a serial novel and I look forward to reading the rest of this series, an enjoyable, quick read, not just for teens!

A unique story about a group of kids with an unusual life....a thrill ride from beginning to end!

Wonderful first book in a great series. It is a great story for Pre-teens, Teens and adults. Quick read, short chapters, high interest. A really nice pick for a reluctant reader

At times this book gets a bit repetitious, perhaps that is deliberate for the younger audience it is intended for. But it is a quick, easy, and compelling read. Great characters.

Oh how fun! This was kind of like visiting the same characters, just a different story. I cannot get enough of the bird kids :) And this was more of a YA read, so it was fast, fun and an easy read for me while at a conference, in the evenings. Definitely one of Patterson's best!

the beginning of a great series! a great teen read!

Hilarious! All ages will love this book.

Six unforgettable kids - with no families, no homes - are funning for their lives. Max Ride and her best friends are products of an experiment: they were engineered to fly. And that's just the beginning of their amazing powers. Now they've excaped, and they need to know who made them, who's hunting them, and why they were designed to be superior to all other humans.

James Patterson calls Maximum Ride: "my favorite story and probably my best." This is book 1 in a series of 3.

Great book, I finished it in 3 days

Very fun book to read.

This one is great. It's the first in a series. If you've never read James Patterson, it's definately a good one to start with! happy reading

Patterson has done it...a new concept...children who fly!
fast paced reading

A good story with a sympathetic heroine. The writing is really cool because it's sort of like a video game -- action/adventure pretty much nonstop -- but with character development.

Interesting book, part of a series. Sci fi fans will enjoy it.

Good book, developing story line, recommended read,
