Book Overview

In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "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...like when 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 wack 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--this one involving 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 from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

One of my all time favorites!

I read this series in high school and absolutely loved it! I recently decided to reread it and it did not disappoint! I love the characters a lot. Max is smart and headstrong, but is not without fault. I highly recommend reading the whole series!

Loved it from the first sentence!

Words can not describe how good this series is. I have read all but the last book and although it seems like James Patterson is running out of things to write about as the series goes on you just become so attached to the characters that you keep reading. I would definitely reread this series and I'm normally not the type of person to reread a book.

Maximize your reading with some good time Sci-Fic by Patterson

If anything, I had seriously misconceptions when it came to Maximum Ride. For once it was written by James Patterson, world renowned author of murder mysteries that were turned into movies usually starring Morgan Freeman to name a couple. When I saw this down at the library in the young adults section, the immediate thought that came flying from my head was, "Somebody misplaced this book in the wrong section!" I thought...
