Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, a novel by James Patterson

Strap yourself in for the thrill ride you'll want to take again and again!

From Death Valley, California, to the bowels of the New York City subway system, you’re about to take off on a heart-stopping adventure that will blow you away...
Your faithful companions: Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel. Six kids who are pretty normal in most ways - except that they're 98% human, 2% bird. They grew up in the lab, living like rats in cages, but now they’re free. Aside, of course, from the fact that they're prime prey for Erasers - wicked wolf-like creatures with a taste for flying humans.

First, I thought the book is awesome. Kids with bird’s DNA (they have wings and can fly!) and they have to fight an institute to find their origins. But it’s not that awesome. Very good (Patterson’s writing always good) but not too superb. The adventures are thrilling. I could feel their blindness finding out the truth. Didn’t know where to go, what to do. But the existence of mutant wolfs are not scary enough. The fighting are too soft. On the climax, Ari died in a sudden (ups, SPOILER!).
One character I like the most: Fang. I always like character with his style and personalities (no matter he or she). Cool, talkless, dark skin and eyes, a little mysterious. It’s as if s/he has a bad side or on the gray area.
