My first Patterson, read for market research. 
 A rather dull X-MEN meets Boxcar Children update that fails to deliver, "The Angel Experiment" was a mediocre book with a great premise. We have a group of experiment kids with wings who have to save the world. 
 Max, the MC, sounds like an adult playing at teen girl, and that makes a lot of the 1st person narrative silly. 
 The other kids (the Flock), are more or less stereotypes of cute kid side characters, and lack standouts. The writing was a three out of five. 
 Summary: Pass-read old X-MEN comics instead.
