Whoa!!!

This book is truly amazing. It is extremely fast-paced and filled with non-stop action. Right from the very first chapter, you are plunged headfirst into intense action.

It is a very accessible read, with short chapters that seamlessly flow into one another, each ending with a cliffhanger. You simply cannot start and stop reading this book; once you begin, there is no going back.

You are irresistibly drawn into the story from the very first page, whether you like it or not. And nothing short of forceful distractions like school, homework, or parents can tear you away from this captivating book.

While reading, I experienced a rush of excitement, a throbbing in my head due to all the thrill and suspense. It felt as if I was watching an incredibly intense action movie.

And the ending is a huge cliffhanger that leaves me absolutely certain that I will immediately dive into the next book.

This book is perfect for anyone who craves a great, fast, and exciting action-packed read! :D

Maximum Ride is far from being an ordinary teenage girl.

She and her so-called'siblings' are the result of a secret governmental genetic experiment. Max is a unique blend of human and bird, and she has a whole lot of attitude to go along with it.

Throughout most of the book, Max and her 'flock' are constantly on the run. They are being chased by the government and a group of bad guys known as erasers, which are essentially a synonym for werewolves.

Their adventures are filled with excitement, danger, and heart-pounding moments as they try to outwit their pursuers and find a safe place to call home.

Alright, I lowered the rating this time around. In fact, I dropped it by 2 stars. So instead of a 5, it's now a 3. I think I've finally overcome the euphoria I had when I first read this book as a tween. I really don't believe it's worthy of 5 stars anymore. I have no clue how many times I've read this book. Definitely at least 5 times XD. The fact that the oldest of the flock is only 14 makes it rather unbelievable. And the way they were experimented on as children (well, younger children) and now they still act like spoilt brats when they don't get what they want? I really don't understand that. And the fact that Angel gets so worked up over a bloody bear. I mean, I know she's 6 and all, but all that fuss over a soft toy.... I'm pleased that it's Angel who has all of the powers though, not Max as is typical of main characters. There was definitely some strange stuff in this book. A lot of things happened! I loved the part with the hawks, and how they came and stormed the School too. I have no idea how they communicated that message, but anyway. Maybe this time I'll finally finish the series :p

Crazy! The last time I read this book was exactly a year ago!

I can't rate this book in the same way as I did when I was 12. Back then, it was my absolute favorite, and I would've毫不犹豫地 given it a 5-star rating.

However, now that I am an adult, my perspective has changed. It definitely doesn't deserve a full 5 stars anymore.

Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable read. It was a fun and quick book that managed to hold my attention, even as an adult.

It brought back memories of my childhood and the excitement I felt when reading it for the first time.

Although it may not meet the standards of a 5-star book for me now, it still has its charm and is worth reading.

Yeah.....IM NOT OBSESIVE!! read them....

The first book in this series is truly captivating.

It presents an engaging and simple plot that easily draws readers in.

The story unfolds in a straightforward manner, yet it manages to hold the reader's attention from start to finish.

The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy for the reader to become invested in their journey.

The author has done an excellent job of creating a world that is both interesting and believable.

Despite its simplicity, the plot has enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing and on the edge of their seat.

Overall, this first book in the series is a great read and sets the stage for what is sure to be an exciting and enjoyable series.

Whether you are a fan of the genre or simply looking for a good book to read, this one is definitely worth checking out.

It would've been truly enjoyable if I hadn't read the manga and received all the spoilers from it.

Moreover, the chapters in this particular work weren't very impactful when it came to the cliffhangers at the end. This was mainly because there were only 3 pages in each chapter or even less.

Personally speaking, I found myself enjoying this a little less than the manga. The manga was in a perfect form, with its detailed and vivid pictures that enhanced the overall experience.

This book, although it is a very action-packed one, really deserves the pictures that the manga provides. The absence of those pictures makes it a bit less engaging and exciting.

Nevertheless, it still has its own charm and can be an interesting read for those who don't mind the lack of visual elements.

The Maximum Ride series has always held a special place in my heart, and recently, I decided to revisit it. The first book, "The Angel Experiment," was a quick read that I devoured in no time. However, upon this re-read, I found myself more critical of the series as a whole.

The pacing of the book is both a strength and a weakness. While the short chapters and simplistic writing style make it a fast read, the story can become repetitive. The flock is constantly on the run, scrounging for food, and getting attacked. This cycle gets old after a while, and it would have been nice to see more variety in the plot.

Another issue I had was with the resolution of the story. The book ends rather abruptly, with many loose ends left hanging. It feels like the author was more interested in setting up the next book than in providing a satisfying conclusion to this one. This lack of resolution was frustrating and left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Despite these flaws, I still enjoyed the book for its characters. Max, Fang, and the rest of the flock are all well-developed and likable. Their relationships with each other are heartwarming, and I found myself rooting for them throughout the story. Additionally, the book has some exciting action scenes that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

First rating: 5 stars
Second rating: 4 stars

In conclusion, "The Angel Experiment" is a fun and entertaining read, but it's not without its flaws. If you're looking for a fast-paced adventure with likable characters, then this book is definitely worth checking out. However, if you're a more critical reader who demands a well-developed plot and a satisfying conclusion, then you may want to think twice before picking it up.

Now this is truly a terrible book.

Written with all the wit and grace of a one-legged puppy, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment reveals its intentions within the first chapter alone. It is not a book of striking prose or even serviceable but entertaining MOR lit. Instead, it is merely a cash cow, another mindless series designed to appeal to reluctant readers. In a word, it is soulless.

Maximum Ride follows the adventures of six children, each the product of a genetic experiment, being 98% human and 2% bird. These characters, with their atrocious names like Maximum, Nudge, Iggy, the Gasman, Fang, and Angel, spend a whopping 422 pages being chased by "Erasers" while trying to discover the secret of the School that caused their mutations. 422 pages for what could have been a novella, or even an essay.

The stilted narration by the "edgy" Maximum Ride, perhaps one of the most grating heroines in YA literature, is weakened by attempts to give her character depth through her thoughtful analyses of those around her. Unfortunately, Patterson's creativity as a writer is strictly limited to half-baked and poorly described battle sequences. So, Ride's introspection devolves into heinous platitudes.

Because Patterson has built a career on writing awful books for adults, he thinks he knows how to write for teens and, even worse, like teens. In reality, his writing reads like an old man trying too hard to sound young. The examples of bad writing are numerous and tiresome.

Worse than the one-dimensional characters and the freakishly bad writing are the countless pages of filler. Patterson could have saved hundreds of trees if he had used an editor. The book is filled with go-nowhere events that add nothing to the story.

The only upside to Maximum Ride is its appeal to reluctant readers. But for avid readers, beware. This book will waste hours of your life that you'll never get back.

By far the best James Patterson book I've ever read. I have a deep affection for the teen-speak used in it. It gives the story a unique flavor and makes it highly relatable to the younger generation. The drama in the book is simply captivating. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next. The action scenes are also extremely exciting, adding a thrilling element to the narrative.

The depth of the characters is truly remarkable. They have normal kid traits that make them endearing and fun to read about. You can easily empathize with their joys, sorrows, and struggles. It's like getting a peek into the lives of real teenagers. Additionally, the science aspect of the book is pretty nifty too. It adds an element of mystery and intrigue, making the story even more engaging.

I can't wait to devour the rest of this series. I'm completely hooked and eager to see how the story progresses. James Patterson has once again proven himself to be a master storyteller, and I'm looking forward to more adventures with these amazing characters.

This was just an amazing book that I could not put down!!!

From the very first page, it captivated my attention and held it firmly until the very end.

The story was filled with excitement, adventure, and unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The characters were well-developed and engaging, making it easy for me to connect with them on an emotional level.

I found myself completely immersed in the world that the author had created, and I didn't want to leave.

Whether you're a fan of mystery, romance, or action, this book has something for everyone.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great read that will keep them entertained from start to finish.
