The Angel Experiment

A Maximum Ride Novel

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Evan Rachel Wood

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?©2005 SueJack, Inc.; (P)2005 Time Warner Audiobooks

Incomplete but an A anyway

As always Paterson has given us a thrilling book. It also is very well read. The only thing wrong with this book is that it is incomplete. Paterson has left us litterally up in the air, with no ending for the kids in sight. It is great that the main character has discovered her world, but there are just too many questions left unaswered for the reader. If you can stand to be left praying for a sequel to finish the story, then don't pass this one up. THERE HAD BETTER BE A SEQUAL.

love max

great book series. read it years ago and now listening to it with my granddaughter

great reader

the reader was awesome. hope she reading the others. she made me feel like I was actually there

tween read

My 11 yr old son read this book in a day, so I picked up the audiobook to try to keep up with him, wanting to have conversations with him on the material he reads. It was not surprising that Patterson did a great job, and wrote an easy-read action novel for tween readers. I love it when - especially my sons - get hooked on a book and series. enjoyed the listen!

Great but Needs Closure

The book had a wonderful storyline up to the end. After that he leaves you hanging. I hope there is a sequel!
