Helpful Score: 3


Some of James Patterson's faithful readers will have read When The Wind Blows and/or The Lake House and already be familiar with a winged girl names Max. As Patterson carefully points out, the Max in this series is not the same girl, and this series is not connected with the two earlier books. The Angel Experiment begins a new series written to be enjoyed by younger readers (teens and pre-teens) as well as adults, and it succeeds beautifully. As a longtime science fiction fan but relative newcomer to Patterson's work, I found myself unable to put this book down; as soon as I finished it, I began looking for its sequel, School's Out - Forever, and the rest of the Maximum Ride series. I recommend it highly.
