Maximum Ride: The Angel Expirement
May 2, 2008
I read a book called, “Maximum Ride: The Angel Expirement,” and it was about these 6 children (the oldest is 14) that live by themselves as a “family” and they are bird-children and they have wings so they can fly. They were born or given to a place called “School” and they are very mean to people there and they expirement with humans to see what they can do to them. They made these things called “Eraser’s” that morph from a human to a werewolf and they try to kill the 6 children and capture them to bring them back to The School. Then when the Eraser’s came to the kids’ house they took the littlest one, Angel who is 6 years old, and no one could catch them.
So the “flock” started right away the next morning to go and get Angel back from the School so the “whitecoats” couldnt do anything bad to her or even worse, kill her. On the way Max (14, the oldest) drops down out of the sky and saves a litttle girl from getting beat up but then the guys who were beating up the girl shot Max in the shoulder/wing. So she gets help at the girl’s house and then the girl and her mom find out about her wings. Then she sets off to meet Nudge (11) and Fang (14 years old) at a cliff and they go and they free Angel and meet back up with The Gasman (8years old) and Iggy (14 years old and blind).
Then they make there way to New York, New York and they go there to find out about each one of there parents, where they live, and all that information at a place called The Institute. Then they find a place to go by the “voice” inside Max’s head that tells her what to do and how to save the world, and they free a bunch of mutants just like the flock in dog cages and crates, so they let them go and they left and went there own way in the big city (which was part of saving the world) , and they find a dog there too, so Angel got to keep it as her pet and its name was Total.
I really liked this book. It was really good because there is so much action and you just cant put the book down. The characters were really good too and i like how they are like bord-children and can fly and how the author used there imagination really good and made the book very entertaining and a fun book to read. The kids have to solve a puzzle kind of thing and you never know whats coming next.
