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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

great book i read it and passed it on to my 12 year old grandson and he is so enjoying it. donna c.

My 11 year old son was having a lot of trouble getting into books. However he LOVES this book, it's a great action adventure and the chapters are SUPER short so it kept his attention very easily. Plus, I am able to say just read a chapter - when I know we have a short wait for something. GREAT READ!!!

Great story! Ordered this for my 10 year old son, but I ended up not being able to put it down. So, we enjoyed the experience together. Highly recommend this series!

I absolutley hated this book. I will continue the series because that is the way I am but I am hoping and praying they get better.

Great book!

If you have 10-14 year olds who have yet to discover the joy of reading, try letting them read about Maximum Ride. James Patterson writes plot heavy, fast-paced, chapters that may keep that child reading. As a literature teacher, I sometimes cringe at recommending Patterson's books (Daniel X included) but I have had several middle school students read the whole series. They have to practice reading to read better, and to avoid making reading a "Total" misery, they need to be interested in their book. Maximum Ride has the potential to be an enjoyable reading experience for many reluctant readers.

Woa i jst fished this book today and i cant believe that it actually hooked me. Woa i love this and i cant wait to order the next one.

Love the Max Books
