Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Sahnan Haber


In the fantasy/sci-fi novel, Maximum Ride, the main characters are a family of kids who are the product of government genetic experiments and are 98% human, 2% bird. The book starts when the 6 have already escaped the lab they were born in and tested in for the first several years of their life. Shortly after the book starts, people from the lab find their house, and come to kidnap them so they can continue their testing. The scientists manage to take one of them, forcing them all to have to leave their home forever and rescue her. From this point on the six are being chased by the government, learning about their abilities and their origins, and facing troubles such as being in the unfamiliar human world, or having their bodies reject the modifications made by the scientists.

Although, in my opinion the start of the book is a bit slow, Maximum ride gets to be a thrilling and very entertaining read. It has likable characters, interesting plot, and great action. The story is told from the perspective of the oldest sibling, Max, and hearing her thoughts and feelings on all of the scenes in the story adds a lot to the experience. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi as well as people who don’t, because this is also a great fantasy novel. It’s not as heavy on outer-space, far in the future, or some sort of apocalypse topics  like many other sci fi books, which makes it very accessible to a large audience. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would give it a 4.5/5

    I like this review Sahnan. It sounds interesting and the fact that you recommend it to people who don't even like sci-fi that much suggests that it must be a great book. Thanks for the review, I look forward to reading this in the near future.
