James Patterson writes very accurately in the voice of a snotty thirteen year old girl. Unfortunately, this means the reader is stuck with a narrative by a snotty thirteen year old girl.

My daughter loved this book. Once she decided to try to read it she couldn't put it down. She finished the last half of the book in an all day reading marathon. She wants to continue reading the rest of the series. Her friend and her grandmother both want to borrow the book now based on her rating of it.

This a great book for middle school age kids. Even my mom likes them! Great book!

This book was the turning point for my 6th grade son who was reluctant to read anything beyond what was required in school. He ate this book up like never before, and he immediately wanted to read the rest of the series. After he read this book, he started reading for pleasure on a regular basis. Thank you, James Patterson!
I have also lent out this book series to 3 other kids that age, and they all had the same reaction... they loved it and wanted to read the rest immediately. Never mind the negative reviews you might read here. This is a book series that is likely to become an all-time favorite for 12-13 years-olds despite their love for stories like Eragon, Harry Potter, and Artemis Fowl. This is a "MUST READ".

First book in the Maximum Ride series.
Based on a character (Max)who appeared in two of Patterson's previous novels, When the Wind Blows and The Lake House. Not a sequel, rather more a reworking.
A group of scientists conducting secret and illegal genetic experiments create several genetically enhanced kids who are 98% human and 2% bird. They can fly and they also have other random talents that seem to crop up when they are in a tight spot. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel escaped from the lab and are in hiding from the half-human, half-wolf Erasers who want to recapture them.
The book starts with Angel being captured by a group of Erasers. They take her back to the lab, where she is back at the scientists' mercy. The rest of the flock sets out to rescue Angel.
Short chapters with lots of action and very little character development
