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?

When I first started reading this book I was amazed of how short the chapters were because I have thing about finishing the chapter whenever I put a book down. So I loved the two to four page chapters.

 I always dreamed of having wings like Max when I read this book , but then I thought of all the terrors that tormented her throughout the book. She couldnt be a normal teen. Not being able to hang out with friends, going to see movies, going on a date. She was always hiding. I couldnt live that part. But thankfully she had her family.

I literally finished this book within two hours. I was so engulfed with its words that I started to ignore people and try to enter the world of Max and her crazy life. Dreaming I could fly, having the wind blow into my face as I soared through the clouds. But then I had to enter reality when all of this wasnt real.

This book captured my soul, and my heart. I felt like a different person when I read this book. In felt like i was having my own Maximum Ride. I advise all readers of any age to pick up this books and dive into its contents. I'm sure you will love it, just as much as me.

I give this book 5 souls!
