  • A Dissapointment!2

    Sindre Ellingsen I'm sadly to say that I couldn't finnish this book, but I promised you guy's a review, so here you have it. I won't put this book as a read book of this month/year, because I didn't fully finish it.

    I read about two-hundred pages, but this book was a disappointment for me. I honestly expected way more than I got. First thing, I hated the beginning, because I didn't understand the characters because of all the swapping. It was exciting, but it doubted off. I wanted more, more feelings, more explanations,but this book was written too plain for my taste.

    This is a book that you either love or hate. A matter of what you like. If you like easy and straight to case written books, than this might be for you. It has a good story I have to admit, but I didn't connect with any of the characters, and I think that characters are truly important no matter what. I honestly thought that Max was a boy, because there weren't any distributions about it in the beginning, just me and I, and that might be confusing.

    IF I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK I would say both yes, and no . . . It depends on what you'd like in the book. It's more a book for ten year olds that really doesn't care about feelings, and details. If you're a grown up like me, and like to dream into the story line... This is a book that you just could skip. by Sindre Ellingsen

    Maximum Ride = 3&1/2 Stars4

    Amy Mansell Maximum Ride is a fourteen year old girl with wings, who grew up in a dog crate with the rest of her 'flock'. Their wings are the result of genetic engineering by a group of not very nice scientists at a place called 'the School'. At the start of the book they have already escaped the School and are trying to live life in secret - and that's where everything starts to go wrong.

    This book is a great start to James Patterson's first children series. While I wish I read it earlier (say at age 13 or so) Patterson's ability to create a page-turning thriller out of any storyline continues on in Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment.

    This book deals with child abuse, neglect, mutation and death. It questions the moral and ethical rights of doing what needs to be done to survive. It shows how smart children are when they need to be, when they are without parents, or an adult in general. It's not ridiculous though, no one is perfect and all of the characters in this book make mistakes, some that are one hundred percent regretted, others that would be done a thousand times over if needed.

    I really liked this book. It is the first James Patterson novel I have read but it makes me keen to check out his books targeted at the older generation. As I said before, I wish I had read it at an earlier age, when i could have related more to the characters (who sometimes have pretty childish moments) but I'm definitely going to read the rest of the series to find out how the story ends.

    Overall I'm giving Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment 3 and a 1/2 stars out of five. I recommend it to fantasy lovers aged 11 to 14 and fans of James Patterson who are interested in books aimed at younger readers. by Amy Mansell
