towards them. They run away and decide to take the subway to Central Park, but instead notice a light and follow it into an underground city in the abandoned tunnels. They sleep there, but are woken up by a guy yelling about his broken computer and blaming Max. The Angel Experiment is a middle-of-the-road, adventure fiction, that reads like a 1980s Uncanny X-Men comic book. I would add that it probably reads as a less sophisticated Chris Claremont title because those books were the apex of the mythology.

The book is about a group of 6 kids who are pretty normal except they are 98% human and 2% bird! They have wings, can fly, and also posses super-human talents. They were created at a place called the “School”. They lived there as experiments until Jeb, a human scientist set them free. Each member of this group has been created with super-human abilities like great speed, strength, physic powers, and flight.

While in Paris, Angel and Gazzy go undercover among the Doomsday Group, with Gazzy using the name Andrew. He later tries to disarm the bombs while people evacuate. He can mimic any sound or voice, which he usually uses for pranks, but which also aids him in combat and stealth situation such as the covert ops training in MAX.

I also love that chapters were short, and there was a cliffhanger at the end of each one. Because of that, it was very difficult to put the book down. I think I would've finish it in one sitting if life didn't get in the way. Review: At first, I sadly admit to abandoning this book. I think I was so hooked on saving Angel from the School that once they accomplished that, it should have ended. But then they were talking about the Institute and blah, blah, blah...I just was a teensy bit disappointed. But I loved it the second round. And the third. :) Dylan was designed as Max's perfect mate. Max first meets him in FANG and feels attracted to him, although she is dating Fang at the time. They grow closer in ANGEL after her breakup, with their relationship developing into more of a romance, but Max continues to feel torn between the two boys. Written with all the wit and grace of a one-legged puppy, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment reveals its intentions within the first chapter alone. This is not a book of striking prose or even serviceable but entertaining MOR lit. It is merely a cash cow, another mindless series designed to appeal to reluctant readers. It is, in a word, soulless. The humor is feeble. The small tidbits of humor inserted into the story add nothing to it—and in most cases, aren’t even funny.

Max acquired a bank card with her name on it in The Angel Experiment; however, it is only mentioned in that book.

During the apocalypse, she revealed that she was the Voice, though nobody believed her at first. She survived the Split along with Max, Fang, and Dylan, and stayed above-ground to live. Here, there's a "family" of laboratory-created children that are winged flyers (like Angel, from said X-Men,) who escaped from their "school." Apparently, there are other genetically altered creatures from the lab, pursuing the children called Erasers. These are wolf-like hunters that metamorph into lupine form whenever they wish to ravage their prey. There seems to be an ongoing animosity between the protagonist avian characters and the antagonist lupine ones. As I mentioned above, the author isn't shy about mentioning human experimentation, and on children, no less. A younger reader might find that pretty disturbing. I know I did, and I'm not particularly young (late thirties).Meanwhile, Angel is being badly mistreated at the School, forced to take part in exhausting and brutal experiments. She finds out that Jeb is alive and working with the School.

In FANG, Angel has a Voice in her head like Max and Ari did. In Nevermore, Angel reveals that she is the Voice in Max's head and has been the one giving her instructions. Max leads other mutants in taking down Itex and stopping the Director from executing half of all life on Earth. She repairs her relationship with her half-brother Ari, but he dies soon afterwards. Do not put this book down. I'm dead serious. Your life could depend on it. I'm risking everything by telling you -- but you need to know. If you dare to read this story, you become part of the Experiment. I know that sounds a little mysterious -- but it's all I can say right now.Fleming, Michael (August 7, 2008).
