Product Description
Characters based on James Patterson's international bestsellers When the Wind Blows and The Lake House are re-invented in Maximum Ride and are launched on the ultimate action-packed adventure full of humor and suspense.
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 genetically engineered by sinister scientists. Her friends brave a journey to 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?

This is a great book for both adults, teens, and pre-teens. (Age 10+)
Original story unlike one I have read before. This is fiction, though, so you must keep an open mind when reading this book and the entire series. (For example, look at the cover and you will see that the girl has wings and is flying.)
I had heard of this series since I have read other books by James Patterson. However, a friend that is a teacher highly recommended the series - her middle school class was reading, but she said I would also enjoy.
The whole series is good, but the first book remains my favorite.

If you like adventure this is the book for you. This book is filled with action. This book has 6 charters in it they are half human half super human. They can also fly. They grew up in a place called the school where evil scientist did experiments on them. One of the scientist escaped the from the school with them and they lived with him until he died. When he died Max the oldest took care of them. One day it was a normal day they went out to the field but then they were attacked. The people from the school came to get angle the youngest of the six. They put up a good fight but in the end they got angle. When angle was gone the 5 went on a journey to go and get her back. You will have to read the rest of the book to find out what happens to angle.
Awesome for all ages!!!! December 8, 2008

Me (33-yrs-old), my 13-year old daughter, and my 66-yr-old father all loved this series and anxiously followed it until the end. It was the first time I had read James Patterson, and I am totally a fan now. This particular series was quick-to-read and kept you entranced beginning to end. Definitely recommend reading this series!
Great Book!!! December 7, 2008
My mom read maximum ride before me and i had an intrest in it. i was a little hestiant to read it at first because i thought it was going to be hard to understand. But when i began to read it i was hooked. it was a great book and easiliy understood. FAST paced action and new experiences at every turn. I cant wait to read the SECOND maximum ride!
Fast Paced and Highly Entertaining December 1, 2008

The book is about very special children struggling to find out who their parents are and how they came to be subjected to the cruel and dehumanizing "school." The characters are memorable and courageous in their continual flight from the relentless "erasers."
