Book Review: Maximum Ride (#s1 and 2)

Hello nonexistent readers. Time for post numero dos. Hey I rhymed. Aren't I clever? well technically it's an approximate rhyme. Anyway today I've decided on doing a book review for a book that my orchestra buddy Catherine reccomended. The Maximum Ride books by James Patterson. I'm almost done with the second one and I just can't put it down! Well you know except to blog it. This book is about 6 kids named (in order from youngest to oldest) Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Iggy, Fang,and Max (they also have a talking dog named Total) who are pretty much super human avion human hybrids. So they have wings and they can fly. When they were babies they were stolen away from their parents and basically used as lab rats. Finally they escaped from this lab nicknamed "The School" with the help of one of the white coats, Jeb Batchelder. Two years later he disappeared and Max was the one taking care of her flock. Of course just because they escaped doesn't mean nobody's looking for them. You see Max was created with a specific purpose in mind, to save the world from a company looking to take over the world called Itex. So they kind of have these things called Erasers (human wolf mix also used to guard the school) chasing them and trying to kill them. At the same time the flock istrying to get away and find out about their parents at the same time. So the flock must use the best of all their weird powers to survive this dangerous mission. This series recieves a 5 star rating from me and I'm not easy to please as far as books go. If you're looking for a book that seems like an action movie Iwould suggest the Maximum Ride series. If you're interested the first book is called Angel Experiment and the second is called School's Out - Forever.
