Maximum+Ride(LN)

__ Maximum Ride __ -By James Patterson Review by Lucy N   __ Maximum Ride __ is a story about a group of kids who have super-human powers. They were “made”, not born. Supposedly they were made as an experiment and they ended up only 98 percent human. The 2 percent that they aren’t human is making a big difference in their lives because they all can fly, and one of them can even read minds. The major conflict is that the six children were constantly being chased by people (half human-half wolf) from the place that they were created (which is called “The School”). The half human, half wolf people were called Erasers. They were chasing the kids because they created the kids and they wanted them back for their experiments. The kids didn’t want to go back to the school because there, they had to live in cages and the experiments were very painful. An example of what the experiments were is, one of the children had to run in a life-size maze and if she didn’t keep running, the erasers would shock her with rods until the she kept going. I would recommend this book, __Maximum Ride__, because it keeps you interested in the book and I never wanted to set the book down. The book is very suspenseful because there is always a problem that has to be solved. Also, at some parts of the book, you can relate their experiences to your own, so it makes it easier to understand. I really liked this book, so if you read it you might also like it.
