Max Ride and her best friends are up against a deadly force, but Fang is gone just when they need him most. Will they be ready for the ultimate showdown?

Max Ride and her best friends have always had one another's backs-no matter what. Living on the edge as fugitives, they never had a choice. But now they're up against a deadly force that's racing across the globe, and just when they need him the most, Fang is gone. He's creating his own gang that will replace everyone—including Max.

Max is heartbroken over losing Fang, her soul mate. Her closest friend. But with Dylan ready and willing to fight by her side, and she can no longer deny that his incredible intensity draws her in. Max, Dylan, and the rest of their friends must soon join forces with Fang and his new gang for an explosive showdown in Paris that's unlike anything you've ever imagined...or read.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The latest young adults' thriller from James Patterson continues the gripping Maximum Ride series." (5 stars)—Star Magazine

"A strong installment in the series...full of...many fantastic flying descriptions that will make readers wish they had wings."—Chicago Sun-Times

good listen

enjoyed it as I have all Max stories. Well written and read. thank you again

It is what it is.

Would you listen to Angel again? Why?

I never listen to a book more then once. Some say that you "miss" things when you read but I don't miss a thing. Maybe way in the future I might read something when I can't remember if I read it, but that's rare.

If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson before, how does this one compare?

It's about the same as the others, kids in trouble, kids get out of trouble, kids set up for next book. In this series he kind of shoves the "greenie weenie" message a little hard.

What three words best describe Rebecca Soler’s performance?

Need more range

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, not really, I looked foreword to the times when I could listen but I wasn't compulsive about it.

Any additional comments?

Put the last book of the series out on Audible.com first!

finally

finally a decent narrator! I love Rebecca Soler! and the writing has improved greatly! this series has been a mess. I'm a millionth time reader of this series and a first time listener but there is a definite improvement here.

Excellent listen - great story line

What did you love best about Angel?

The characters and the comic relief even during intense moments. Fun and Keeps your attention.

leading to a conclusion

this story was better than Fang. it fleshed out the new team of characters better and had more actual story. looking forward to the last book in the series.

Amazing!

I absolutely love the book Angel and the ALL The Maximum ride books. I think that the whole sires was very well made and the story is sooo Amazing.

You will love the series if you are tween girl

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I had no idea from promotional material that this was a teen girl novel.
Unfamiliar with the writer I decided to try the book rather than the series.
The writing is far to simple and the plot lines far too predictable for adult tastes.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Anything else, probably Heart of Darkness to shake off the simple sugar of this book.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Rebecca Soler?

Possibly

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Angel?

All of them.

Any additional comments?

This is an unfinished book I will definitely return.

Obnoxious music and sound effects

The story wasn't very good, but what really ruined this audio book was the constant loud and terrible music playing and the even worse sound effects. I guess they realized the story had no meat and tried to spruce it up, but that only made it worse.

The voice acting was very good though.

OK, but not a book for my generation

It's entertaining but not a book that kept me anxious for what's next. This would be a good listen for someone younger than I.
Still worth the listen even though it's for a younger listener than I
