Inspect The Angel Experiement (Maximum Ride #1) Documented By James Patterson Released As Ebook

On the "plus" side, this novel has a very interesting premise and the book was a very fast read.
On the "negative" side, there is not a whole lot of substance to the story and the character development is weak.
I was really hoping that the author would do something really great with the very cool concept of children genetically enhanced with avain DNA, but it just didn't happen.
Bottomline, the book, while not horrible, was one I really didn't like, Fourteenyearold Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world.
She and all the members of the "Flock"Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angelare just like ordinary kidsonly they have wings and can fly.
It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any timelike when Angel, the youngest member of the "Flock," is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were genetically engineered by sinister scientists.
Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmarethis one involving fighting off the halfhuman, halfwolf "Erasers" in New York City.
Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives.
Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and fatherfigure Jebnow her betrayed and greatest enemythat her purpose is save the worldbut can she .


Im sorry, but this was awful, I listened to the audio of this book, the narrator is Evan Rachel Wood and shes pretty

excellent so if you wish to listen to this book I recommend it.
That being said, this story was all over the place, it would be convoluted but more like giant chunks of backstory were missing, and all the teens did was fly around and constantly get attacked.
Then something at the end happened that made my stomach curl and completely killed what little of the book I enjoyed.
I only read this book because it was on the topYA books on goodreads and many trusted book friends seemed to enjoy it.


Back in the day I read When the Wind Blows by Patterson and loved it.
Not sure if this is a YA redo or a spinoff of that, But I can honestly say if you didnt like this book like me, read that one.



Follow me on sitelinkFacebook sitelinkBlog sitelinkInstagram sitelinkTwitter I usually really enjoy YA books but this one was more young than it was adult and occasionally irritating because of that.
Initially I thought I had picked up the series on the second book because of constant references to what has happened before.
I ended up wondering why the author had not started his story at the beginning, His characters were also very poorly drawn which made it difficult to be concerned about any of them.
The story did become reasonably exciting and I read through to the end, I will not however be reading any more of the series, I like sitelinkJames Patterson ' s adult books but will steer clear of his YA ones.
y Take a bit of the childlike innocence vs, evil of Harry Potter, some of the artificiallycreated destiny from Ender's Game, throw in the flying fantasies from Eragon and mix them in with Patterson's trademark flippant characterization, and you've got Maximum Ride.


This is the book I'm going to recommend when everyone's recovering from the end of Harry Potter later this month.
Really. It's that good. And the best part is there are two more books after this one, There's already a waiting list for my copy,

Premise: six kids bred with avian DNA in a lab which explains their superstrength and their wings escape in pursuit of a life as normal kids, as normal as you can get without parents.


Written for teens, so it's automatically a fun and fast read, Definitely worth the time, even if there's a few places where continuity and plausibility are challenged.
I want you, the reader, to take a moment and scroll down to the lists this novel has been shelved in.
“Best Young Adult Books,” “Best Books Ever,” “What To Read After Harry Potter,” “Best Female Lead Characters,” and “Best Science Fiction amp Fantasy Books”.
If you havent guessed by the titles, these are pretty big and popular lists, If you click into them and view the lists, you will see that this book is pretty high up the ranks.
And if you looked behind the book, youll see raving review after raving review, If you looked inside, you will see MORE raving reviews telling you that Maximum is a soaring story that will sweep you off your feet, etcetera etcetera.


This book reminds me to the ad for Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares, They would say the most fabulous things about the product, and then would turn around at the very end they say in a big, booming voice

I was lead to believe I was about to read a soaring adventure novel filled with damaged characters who stick together out of both love for each other and fear of their enemies.
I thought I was going to read about the horrors they went though, and the horrors theyd have to face.
I thought this book would make me feel the magic of flying, to make me truly understand the meaning of freedom.
This book lied to me it lied right in my face, It told me it was a Christmas Dinner with juicy turkey and ham and lobster and chocolaty dessert but instead I got a plate of brussel sprouts.


What I got was a pathetic and onedimensional cast of character who seemed mentally sound even after their years of abuse, unclear and unemotional writing, poor action scenes, has no depth whatsoever and lacks simple life to it.
While I was reading it I felt like I was reading the writing of a reluctant reader or the back of a cereal box.
It lacks character to it,

One single paragraph written in simply for humour was what really ruined the book for me.
It was the paragraph that made me almost cry at the lost of the money I spent on this book.

“Am I tough Am I strong Am I hardcore Absolutely, Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot friedchicken sandwich You betcha.
”

Your probably reading that quote and wondering whats wrong with it, arent you Let me paint you a picture first, and then I will ruin that quote with some of my logic.
The main character, Max, is part human part bird, Before this quote was written they had spent several days hiding out on some cliffs with a couple of wild hawks.
On and on they went, telling the reader how fascinating these creatures were and what they learned from them.
They all even call themselves The Flock, Then, zoom on a hundredorso pages and Max is munching down on some fried chicken, So shes part bird, spent most of her time with birds, and calls her family the flock.
Oh yes, now you can see where Im going to go, Chickens are birds. So Max a half bird girl is eating a bird, and is completely cool with it.
Relishes it, in fact.

Yeah. Solid thinking there from the author,

That quote also shows you how shallow the characters are, because Max continues to tell us how "spunky" and "feisty" she is.
But does she actually show these characteristics Nope, Unless you count the truly horrendously bad comebacks she made, In many way's she reminds me of Celeana from Throne of Glass, Talks the talk but never truly walks the walk,

The rest of The Flock merge together, most having no real purpose to the story.
What does the sweet little Angel do Nothing, What does the Gasman bring Nothing but farts, Iggy He made something explode, Nothing after that. And I can't tell you the rest of the characters, because I have forgotten their names.
Just shows you how much these people stick in your mind,

The plot mainly featured weird twists, confusing battle scenes, constant running and flying away, and useless scenes.
sitelinkAnother reviewer named Joe wrapped up the useless scenes perfectly, There's a concert scene, a family subplot that has no real reason of existing, and many chapters wasted by them spending days with hawks I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that before.


I hope your happy, Mr Patterson, You tricked me into thinking that you would take the more emotionally powerful and moving route with a dash of action and adventure, and for your trickery I will award you with this this shall be my first and last book of yours.
Your welcome and good day, Whoa!!! This book is sooo good, It's really, really, REALLY fastpaced and actionpacked, Even the very first chapter throws you headfirst into straighton action, It's a very easy read, with short chapters that flow right into the other with cliffhangers.
It's not something you can start/stop reading once you start, there's no turning bag, You're dragged into the story from the very first page, willingly or not, and nothing can tear you from the book only forceful things, like school, homework, parents, etc.
While reading this book, I experienced rushes and throbbing through my head at all the excitement, thrill, and suspense.
It felt like watching an intense action movie, And the end is a huge cliffhanger, making me sure that I'm going to attack the next book right away! This is good for anyone who wants to read a good, fast, exciting action book! :D Warning:
If you dare to read his story,
you become part of the Experiment.

I know that sounds a little mysterious
but its all I can say right now.

Max

I read a lot of Patterson adult thrillers, and after a while, I kind of got bored of him I mean how many sequels can a book have!.
So, with that said, I had really low expectations for this one, but the book really took me by surprise.
This book is just pure fun,pages of action packed fun, that leaves you wanting more, I also found out that I like 'young adult' Patterson more than 'adult' Patterson, if that makes any sense.


Max was such a fun character, To me, she is literally female version of Percy Jackson, I loved hearing her sarcastic and snarky tone throughout the whole story,

I also love that chapters were short, and there was a cliffhanger at the end of each one.
Because of that, it was very difficult to put the book down, I think I would've finish it in one sitting if life didn't get in the way.


If you like to read action packed, quick books, I suggest giving this a try, and hopefully, you'll like it as much as I did.
