The Maximum Ride Trilogy: The Angel Experiment, School's Out--Forever, and Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
Plot: this trilogy is about a girl, Max, and her adopted family of children. But these are not ordinary children. The whole family, all six of them, have wings. They were only babies when a secret organization experimented on them, adding wings and allowing them to fly. But the bird-children managed to escape, and now Max looks after them all. They have amazing, dangerous, adventures, trying to stay hidden from the School while attempting to find out who they really are and why there are here.
Comments: I loved this trilogy! Very well-written books, and an interesting array of characters. The plot is creative and well thought out, twisting and turning easily without confusion. I like the way you learn about the children's story in bits, when Max is thinking about her past. The different characters and places the family goes to keeps the story interesting, and I appreciate the effort to make each meeting with enemies (called Erasers) different from the last. The characters are very different, and I feel like part of the flock. The way James Patterson describes flying, it seems as if he has wings too, and has been flying himself. I have always wished to fly, and I like the book's description of it.
Sometimes this trilogy is confusing, because they switch back and forth between places and characters, and so you have to keep reading and guess who you're reading about. Sometimes it's confusing because you aren't supposed to know what's going on, and that's both good and bad; it keeps you interested, but I really want to know what's happening! I think Max sometimes only thinks about herself, but the rest of the time she's completely selfless. It's a little disorientating, when one moment she'll be looking after her family, and the next she's worrying about what it is she has to do.
Rating: I'm rating this entire trilogy a seven and a half out of ten.
