Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

The book I’ve chosen to read is “Maximum Ride: The Angel” experiment. Which is weird considering this is the first book of the series, yet I’ve read 3 other ones first. Actually that probably wasn’t too smart seeing as though this can be a very confusing series. Don’t get me wrong though, these books are amazing. So captivating and suspenseful. “Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment” By James Patterson, is an amazing book for anyone adventures.
This book has to be nothing else, but an Irony. One reason is that it is very unrealistic. Think about it…… A bunch of bird kids flying around trying to find some weird institute. Ya, like that’ll happen. Also this book does start out with the world in chaos. Well, kind of, Max and the flock are on the run from white coats, plus the fact that human eating erasers are tracking them down. So, I guess that qualifies as chaotic. To make matters worse, 6 year old angel, who is my favorite because she can read and control minds, gets kidnapped and taken back to the school! Major conflict? I think so. Now there’s a voice, with side effects of ‘knife in the brain’ head ache. So this demented voice is in Max’s head, it tells her stuff, which would be pretty cool because it tells her really important thing. Maybe not though, when the voice comes, Max gets a seriously bad head ache. Ouch! I changed my mind, that voice is no longer cool.

There is a little bit of symbolism in this book, for example, at night is when the flock figures out their plans for the next morning. And sometimes they fly at night; just to make sure no one see’s them. Also, Fang likes to only wear black, which is also on the symbolism chart.To be honest, Fang seems kind of scary to me, even his name is a little, off. Something really icky is that if Max’s flock runs out of food, they’ll eat what they find; which can sometimes turn out to be roasted rat on a stick. Speaking of roasted rat on a stick, to roast the rat there has to be a fire, and to make a fire you must have dead plants. What weird symbolism it is.

Not only this book, but this whole series are incredible and stunning. Every time you read one of these books, you just get more and more sucked into it. It can feel as though these books are taking you on extravagant adventures , their journeys are your journeys, their fights are your fights. Yet you can do while sitting in a safe quiet room, while the flock has to battle for their lives. Once again I say, “Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment” is “A ride that gets faster and faster.”-Cleveland Plain Dealer
