Summary
Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, Angel, and Maximum: six kids who are 98% human and 2% bird.
They grew up in cages, living like rats, but now they're free. 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 full of nonstop action, adventure, and soul-seeking
-- not to mention a little bit of saving the world on the side.
After the
mutant Erasers abduct the youngest member of their group, the
"birdkids," who are the result of genetic experimentation, take off in
pursuit and find themselves struggling to understand their own origins
and purpose.
Review
The Maximum Ride series is meant for all ages, but there are scientific remarks that
reach out. The characters are lovable, the storyline is adventurous and
keeps you reading! James Patterson's easy reading makes you read more
than you realize.
Max and Fang are my favorite characters. Max for her attitude and snarky
remarks. Fang for his cool, reserved demeanor and amazing fighting
skills. Though the whole gang has amazing fighting skills, Fang and Max
are the protectors and everything they do and say is interesting.
I love the way how the whole flock acts like a family, how much they
love each other and how far they're willing to go for each other. Writing is simple, easy to read, the plot is good, the characters are great and funny.
