Maximum Ride:Book 1

    Yesterday I started a book called Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. I just started reading that book, and I instantly became hooked. The more and more I read it, the more I couldn't stop flipping the pages of that book. So far, the plot had many intense moments and encounters which the characters had expierenced. Those are the type of books that I generally liked. So what is this book about? Maximum Ride is a story about 6 kids-Max (main character/protagonist) Iggy, Fange Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. All of them were born through the result of genetic experimentation, and as a result they could fly. Despite that, they live a normal life in a house that is surrounded by mountains. However one day, a group of mutants known as the Erasers, abduct Angel,  the youngest member of their group. The rest of the group then go on a journey to retrieve Angel. There are many obstacles in that journey. That's all I know right now of the book. I can tell that the rest of the book is going to be just as intense.

     The thing about Maximum Ride is it is a sort of all-rounder book. The book has plenty of action, suspense, fantasy elements (the kids are half-bird) yet it also has realistic elements. The book also has comedy and funny parts in it too that break some of the tension. That is what I really like about Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. There are many thrillling moments. Moments that make me want to think of predictions. I am on one such moment right now. Max saved a little girl who was about to be shot by an older group of teenagers. However, while she was escaping, Max gets shot by one of the armed teens. The chapter ends with her limping with her wound through a forest. She can either hide it and not get help from anyone, protecting her true identity and wings, but risking her life. Or she can get help and save herself, but revealing what she actually is. I think she will get help, but she'll reveal herself, and whoever she revealed it to, will report it to local law enforcement. However, I hope that doesn't happen to Max

     I hope this has convinced you to read the book. I will continue reading this book, and make updates on what is going on in the books.
