Loved at the minute I read the first page and couldn't get enough! 
 This book is in the first person view of a 14-year-old girl named Maximum Ride. There are five other main characters: Iggy, The Gasman, Angel, Nudge, and Fang. Here's a twist: They aren't normal kids. They're all 2% avian. 
 The book has to main conflicts. In part 1 and 2, it's rescuing Angel. In parts 3 and 4, it's finding out more about their parents. The book takes place in the US, mostly in California and New York. 
 The book's start is fun, has some laughs, and it gets to the action quick. The end of it, of course, makes me want to second book. Which I need to get from a library. *mumbles* The book has good laughs to even out the action. There're good scenes and lots of action. My favorite character has to Max or Iggy. 
 Here's a quote from the book that I laughed and smiled at... 
 'I took a bite of cookie and chewed. "Hmmm," I said, trying not to spit crumbs. "Clear vanilla notes, too-sweet chocolate chips, distinct flavor of brown sugar. A decent cookie, not spectacular. Still, a good-hearted cookie, not pretentious." I turned to Fang. "What say you?" 
 "It's fine." 
 Some people just don't have what it takes to appreciate a cookie.' 
 If that didn't make you smile, trust me, something in the book will. ;) I recommend to adults, teens, and possibly 7-year-olds. If not 7, 8 and up.
