Publisher's summary

Max soars above the world . . . but in James Patterson's thrilling adventure, fantasy can come crashing down to reveal the nightmares of the Angel Experiment.

Maximum Ride and her "flock"—Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel—are just like ordinary kids, only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time.

Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of whack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare: fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives.

Along the way, Max discovers that her purpose is save the world. But can she?

I LOVE FANG!!!💗

I've red all the books already but I wanted to try the audiobooks.
My six problems with it are:
1) max sounds really weird like an older lady in a sense and not AT ALL like a teen.
2) Nudge sounds really obnoxious and sounds more like a 6 year old.
3) iggy sounds like a whiny kid
4) gazzy sounds like a pubescent teen
5) Fang (tho he's ma fave) sounds like...idk just weird. Sounds like the narrator was pretending to sound like a man but failing terribly.
And 6) The music. Two words.
JUST. NO.
Other than that I love the book.
I totally love FAX! Go team FAX!!

No the greatest

I have read all the books. And I love love the story. No problems with that. But they was it was recorded and the person reading was not the best choice. From the begging the chapters were messed up. Instead of saying Chapter Two when you pressed on Chapter Two, it said Chapter One. It became confusing. And the voice actor had this annoying voice for one of the characters which took away from the character.

Old time fan

I've been reading the Maximum Ride series for years now and I love this narrator. The characters sound appropriately serious when they need to but can still be humorous. There are 14 years or younger after all!

Fantastic book that'll leave you wanting more

This series has always been a huge favorite of mine. I'm listening to the audiobooks for the first time to experience the series again. I'm often weary of audiobooks because it's alway hit or miss with the narrator and this one did great. It was very easy to follow along and I wasn't having to rewind constantly.
