Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

[Baka-Tenshi]

An amazing book by James Patterson, it's the story of Maximum Ride, or Max for short. A young girl, with her friends who have become her only family. Kids with no parents, who have had a pretty bad life, who have tried hard to find happiness again.. doesn't sound that special eh?

Well, they're a bit different from the others... for one thing, they have wings.

Yep, they have bird DNA in them, 2%, they were all experimented on as children, the DNA grafted into them before they were even born. Taken from their parents the moment they left the womb, experimented on daily until they escaped, but....the 'white coats', the scientists who did this crap to them, are hunting them...and soon, they will find them...

Here's the introduction to the book:
'Congratulations. The fact you're reading this means you've taken one giant step to surviving till your next birthday. Yes, you, standing there leafing through these pages. Do not put this book down. I'm dead serious- Your life could depend on it.
This is my story, the story of my family, but it could just as easily be your story too. We're all in this together; trust me on that.
I've never done anything like this, so I'm just going to jump in, and try to keep up.
Okay, I'm Max. I'm fourteen. I live with my family, who are five kids not related to me by blood, but still totally my family.
We're- well, we're kind of amazing. Not to sound too full of myself, but we're like nothing you've ever seen before.
Basically, we're pretty cool, nice, smart- but not "Average" in any way. The six of us- me, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and ANgel- were made on purpose, by the sickest, most horrible "Scientists" you could possibly imagine. They created us as an experiment. An experiment where we ended up only 98 percent human. That other 2 percent has had a big impact, let me tell you.
We grew up in a science lab/prison called the School, in cages, like lab rats. It's pretty amazing we can think or speak at all. But we can- and so much more.
There was one other School experiment that made it past infancy. Part human, part wolf- all predator: They're called Erasers. They're tough, smart, and hard to control. They look human, but when they want to, they are capable of morphing into wolf men, complete with fur, fangs, and claws. The school uses them as guards, police- and executioners.
To them, we're six moving targets- prey smart enough to be a small challange. Basically, they want to rip our throats out. And make sure the world never finds out about us.
But I'm not lying down just yet. I'm telling you, right?
This could be about you- or your children. If not today, then soon. So please, please take this seriously. I'm risking everything that matter by telling you- but you need to know.
Keep readin- don't let anyone stop you.

-Max, and my family; Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel
Welcome to our nightmare.'


It's a pretty good book, and the ending only opens up to the next one coming up soon, pick it up...like it said, your life may count on it...
