Maximum Ride

The Angel Experiment

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Evan Rachel Wood

James Patterson's explosive debut in the young adult market is guaranteed to create legions of new fans for this beloved, multimillion-selling author.

Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, Angel, and Maximum: Six kids who are pretty normal in most ways, except that they're 98% human, 2% bird. They grew up in cages, living like rats, but now they're free. Riding the wind, their wings are an amazing gift...and yet, their world can morph into a nightmare in a single instant. For when the bloodthirsty Erasers, half men, half-wolves genetically engineered by sick and sinister scientists, kidnap little Angel, the Flock embarks on a rescue mission that will change them forever.

From Death Valley, California, to the bowels of the New York City subway system, 14-year-old Max leads her five feisty "family" members on a journey full of nonstop action, adventure, and soul-seeking, not to mention a little bit of saving the world on the side!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An action-packed cross between Gertrude Chandler Warner's Boxcar Children and Marvel Comics' X-Men." (Booklist)

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!

Childhood Favorite

This was one of my favorite books as a youth and I recently thought I’d give it a listen to nostalgia. It was just as good as I remembered although, the narration had music in it every now and then which I felt was unnecessary. Other than that, great read/listen!

1 of the best books ever!

It was amazing and very creative. I like how Much the author Into the book and how many Amazing details There were just just made the book more Awesome. If I was a judge of a book competition and I had to pick world's best book I would pick this book as the world's best book. I really really want them to make this book into a movie and All the other Maximum ride books Into a movie. Thank you James Patterson for Writing this book it was an amazing book and I really loved the details.

A book for pre-teens

Maximum Ride is the typical story of an older girl that takes care of the younger "siblings". (A lot like "The Boxcar Children") I downloaded this book because I saw a lot of positive reviews, and I was sorely disappointed. It is very possible that I would have enjoyed an unabridged version, because the story seemed a little choppy. The jokes about bodily functions will keep the kids entertained, but from an adult perspective, they get old fast. (My husband only got through 20 minutes) The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. It seemed as if the author had a deadline to meet and released the book before he was finished.

Maximum Ride

This was a great read. James Patterson did it again with another great book. Once I sat down to read it I couldn't put it down. Definatly a must read. Enjoy!

It is a very good story

I can’t remember when I first Started to read this series but I feel it to be a great read
