Even better than the first volume! Super excited about this series!

I loved reading this story! I remembered reading the graphic novels back in school and falling in love with them, and actually reading the books has brought that love for them back.

A friend gave this series to me for the boys to read. They tore right through the series and so now I'm reading it. It's fantastic! Patterson really did a great job! I'm totally into what's going on with this series!

Max is your typical teenager with a large family. It's just her and her five besties - her flock. And by flock, I do mean birds, not the awesome web browser I love. You see, she and her friends are part avian as well as escapees from a demented science experiment. Who made them with wings? Why are they always being hunted? Will they ever have peace?

I’ve been wanting to read this for a while now. So many of my students love the Manga version of this story! It was a fun “ride”. I’m finding that I enjoy these sci-fi stories with these human/avian mutants! 
The parts I didn’t love had to do with pop culture references that dated the story…ahem…palm pilots. Otherwise, I thought it was a great read. I get why the kids like the manga version so much and I look forward to reading the rest of both versions!

Max soars above the world . . . but in James Patterson's thrilling adventure, fantasy can come crashing down to reveal the nightmares of the Angel Experiment. Maximum Ride and her "flock" -- Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel -- are just like ordinary kids, only 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 time. Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of whack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare: fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "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 that her purpose is save the world. But can she?

After hearing and reading everyone on the Blogosphere gushing about this series, I mostly began it to catch up on my reading challange. I loved it! The characters were all fascinating and individuals. The action moved quickly and more "story" was told than I expected. Can't wait to read the others!

Infiltrate a secret facility to track down the flock's missing parents. Scavenge for sustenance. Get revenge on an evil traitor. And save the world. If there's time.

Brilliant, recommended by a friend and I was hooked.

I was obsessed with this series around 14 years ago, so decided that I needed to finally finish it, as I never completed the last book in the series.

Yes, the dialog is sometimes cheesy, but I understand it is written for 12 and up, so it is so good.

I still love Fang and Max. I was shocked to rediscover they’re 14?! I guess my 12-year-old self thought they were so old, because bruh?! 14?! I feel ancient 👵🏻
