    About this audiobook

    Max Ride and her best friends have always had one another's backs. No. Matter. What. Living on the edge as fugitives, they never had a choice. But now they're up against a deadly force that's racing across the globe, and just when they need him the most – Fang is gone. He's creating his own gang that will replace everyone – including Max.

    Max is heartbroken over losing Fang, her soul mate. Her closest friend. But with Dylan ready and willing to fight by her side, and she can no longer deny that his incredible intensity draws her in. Max, Dylan, and the rest of their friends must soon join forces with Fang and his new gang for an explosive showdown in Paris that's unlike anything you've ever imagined...or read.

      More heinous things happening to this group of teens. I don't like the world depicted in these books and I only hope that in the end something good happens for them...
    • 4/5
      I was really excited to finally get my hands on this book, and read it in one sitting because I just couldn't bear to put it down without knowing how things were going to end up. It was really good but not nearly as good as the previous ones. I think the main reason I didn't like it was because Max and Fang were apart... which doesn't really make any sense. They've always been very central to the books, and to have them apart and falling for other people was just way too weird. I didn't see the point of Max falling for Dylan, and I actually find Dylan quite creepy. I'm hoping that Max and Fang will be back together in the next one (which is also the last one) because that would be perfect.

      The book, Angel, is a fictional novel about a mutant,teenage girl named, Max, and her flock of bird kids on a journey to save the world. In Arizona, Max mourns to be with Fang (her lover and friend) who has disappeared without a trace. To make matters even worse, Dylan, a mutant freak just like them, is trying to make a pass at her. Max is struggling to get her love life under control before she and her flock have to undergo a mission that involves the future of the world. If your looking for thrilling action, romance, and near death experiences I recommend my favorite book Angel.

      Angel by James Patterson (#7)Pages: 291Release Date: February 14th, 2011Date Read: 2011, September 15th-17thReceived: LibraryRating: 4/5 starsRecommended to: 12+No spoilers!! :)SUMMARY -Max is having a crisis. Not physical, but emotional. Fang, after dying and coming back to life, as left. Left her and her Flock. He left her a love letter on his bed and just disappeared. Now he has his own gang, and Max must move without him. There's a doomsday group, talking about the One Light - hope - and hypnotizing people toward their cause. What is their cause? And will following the D-day group lead Max to Fang once again?MY THOUGHTS -There were some choppy parts of this book, some random scenes that didn't lead to or from anything. But most of the time I was into the story and excited to know more about the root of the situation, despite the cheesiness of the root. I don't know how James Patterson is going to wrap this up in one more book, but honestly I can't wait. I read this nearly a year ago and still have a month left until I get my hands on book #8! This book is like a tease!Again, I really, really love the characters. And again, they're the reason I'm sitll here. I would've stopped at book #4 if I hadn't been totally in love with Max, Fang, and the rest of the Flock. I was then, and I am now. They are really amazing to read about.The story this time was good, even though it had the usual "out-of-nowhere" feel. But it was enjoyable, intense, and heartwrenching. I'd say sadder than the last book, which was pretty darn sad. :( I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!This book reminds me of...TeasingTerrible coversInfuriatingly LONG gaps between booksReally exasperating love triangles that you wish would just DISINTEGRATE, but you also love at the same timeCheesy D-day crap (lol)For the Parents -Some kissing...maybe some minor cussing. Recommended 12+

      My 11 year old son asked me to read this series with him. I enjoyed the first book and was hooked. It's nice to see books like this that are appropriate for younger readers!
    • 4/5
      I liked the development of Max's relationships with Dylan and Fang, but that's the sort of thing that readers will either love or hate. And there's still enough action in the book to satisfy readers who've been following this series from the start. The only real problem is that it seems so darn short! That, and it's a real cliffhanger ending. I can't wait for the final book to come out! Overall, if you've read the other Maximum Ride books, you aught to read this one - even if it has a bit more mush than the others.****
    • 3/5
      In this volume of the Maximum Ride series, the 77th generation of mutant kids intends to kill all the humans and restore the world to it's original pristine condition.
    • 4/5
      This was a fairly decent book, Patterson began filling in plot holes left unanswered from the start of about book three. The characters begin to annoy you at times, but Patterson was still able to write another good book. The combination of new and recurring characters, along with some plot twist give this book a solid 3 1/2 stars with me.
    • 4/5
      "I'm free now. The end is near, and soon we'll all be free!" he shouted, raising a fist."Again with the world ending," I muttered.Well this wasn't my favorite book of the series but it was better than the the fourth and the fifth book. The way James Patterson writes makes me fly though the story. I like how he incorporates world issues into his books too. He doesn't bombard the reader with propaganda but it's there if you know where to look for it. The characters were more developed in this installment of the series too and we get to see a completely different side of some of the characters than before.The one thing I didn't like about this book mainly was Max's character. In every book she's always the strong, sarcastic adventurous type of girl. In this book, however, she appears to the reader as a heartbroken pathetic teen girl. What happened to the fight in her? Fang left and that was his choice. C'mon and get over it and don't let a guy dictate how you should live your life.With that being said, honestly I have been a fan of Fang and Max together since book 1. I knew it was always going to happen and when it finally did I was overjoyed. But after reading this book, I just don't know anymore. I really didn't like Fang in this one. I don't understand his logic on the idea that with the two of them separated everything works out better and why they should both have their own "flocks." When he encounters Max again in this story after leaving her in the last book, he's nowhere near in the amount of devastation that she is. It truly seemed like he cared but only a little bit. If that's the case, then screw Fang. Dylan is always there for Max when she needs him and he seems to completely care about her. I think she should give him a chance.And I can't leave this review without talking about Angel. Throughout the series, I have increasingly started hating Angel. Who does this little girl think she is? She tries to take the flock from Max in one of the books and tries to become the leader. She has back-stabbed Max quite a few times now. In this book, though, she redeemed herself in my eyes. I went from hating her to absolutely loving her. How is this wise wisdom coming from a seven year old girl? She comes up with the plan and when she and Max talk in this story, I feel as if Angel is this older woman imparting her knowledge onto Max instead of being so much younger than her. And then the end....Well let's just say I'm readily anticipating the eighth and final book in the series due out in February 2012. Sources say it's going to be titled Iggy. That would be just grand because I love Iggy. He's one of my favorite characters in the series.
    • 5/5
      Epic. Just epic. James Patterson did it again with ANGEL! It was an awesome read and had lots of action. Bird kids are awesome and I can't wait for the next book!
    • 4/5
      I thought that Angel was a good book. I am excited to see how James Patterson will finish off the series. I have read all the other books and I have liked them all. Seeing that it is the seventh book in a series it goes without saying you need to have read all the other books to understand it. It is hard to avoid spoilers so i'll just say that it is a satisfying penultimate book and the two flock angle gets very entertaining! I would definately recommend it to any Maximum Ride fans!
    • 3/5
      I thought this was a typical max ride book. Only this time, Fang has formed his own flock & joins forces with Max's flock to fight the bad guys & save the world. However, the reader is left hanging as to what really has happened to Angel. I guess we will find out in the last book in this series.
    • 4/5
      Although I know Max is the star here, considering the title of this book is "Angel" I thought we might see a bit more from her point of view. Despite the fact this didn't really happen, I was not disappointed by the story. We had the usual chases and fights, were introduced to some interesting new characters in Fang's gang and watched as Max bemoaned her love triangle issues. Since everyhing was evenly mixed I didn't get overly sick of any one element.I know we are coming up to the last book of the series, and I wouldn't be surprised if we are treated to a complete "end of the world" scenario. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to all the loose ends left here, including Ella, Max's mother and Jeb and, of course, Angel.
    • 4/5
      I was practically jumping in my seat in school, waiting to get home on the 14th of February. I had pre-ordered Angel and expected it to be in my mailbox that day only get it on the 15th. When I finally got the book, I finished Angel in an hour. It was a surprisingly fast read but still had so much going in the pages. Now that I have read Angel, my opinion has just a tad bit changed on Dylan. To me he seems less annoying. I still support Fang and Max forever though.:) The twist at the end of the book was kind of surprising but also expected. You knew something dramatic would happen just not what exactly. In all Angel was a incredible read that I enjoyed thoroughly.
    • 5/5
      It was fantastic! You need to read the other Maximum Ride novels.
    • 3/5
      Warning: Spoilers included. If the next book wasn't the last in the series, I might not buy anymore, but since there is just one more after this, I will buy it just so the series is complete. It seems like there is less and less in each Patterson hardcover; much of the story is wasted on trying to figure out who is evil, who is good and which side presents the threat to the world, and it is exhausting. To think that anyone who has genetic modifications is no longer consider human seems ridiculous. I don't like that we have no idea what happened to Max's mom or Jeb, and I found it a bit hard to believe that blowing up a stadium was going to be the start of the end of the world. I tolerated this book, but it has fallen quite low compared to how much I liked the first couple books. And I knew Angel wasn't dead... I really hope that the final book (eight) pulls out all the stops and turns out to be a blockbuster of a finisher because the last three books have been HORRIBLE, and I'm feeling really cheated!
    • 2/5
      Angel is the latest in James Patterson's blockbuster young adult series, Maximum Ride. Following in the footsteps of the previous novels, Angel delivers everything that Maximum Ride fans have come to expect: fast-paced action about genetically altered teenagers, complete with teen romance and world-saving environmentalism undertones.Angel picks up not long after Fang leaves off. Fang is now off with his own flock, leaving Max with the usual group of rag-tag misfits. As Max works through her teenage romance issues, a new group appears on the scene who wants to eradicate all humans. Max then is convinced by yet another scientist that she must, yet again save the world.In many ways, Angel is just more of what was in the previous Maximum Ride novels, but by now Patterson is grasping for straws. Really, the first story arch (first 4 books) is what made this series enjoyable, but everything since has been purely to milk the franchise. There has been little direction, the books have had virtually no meat, and have been fairly dull. But what's even worse is that the last three-ish books or so have just been repetitions of one another. There's absolutely nothing new here, nothing really of interest to offer fans accept another fast-paced action novel with everyone's favorite Maximum Ride characters.At this point, I'd only recommend this book to hard core fans of the serious who really must know what happens next to the characters, but other than that, take the pass. Even with the final book in the Maximum Ride series coming out in February 2012, it's not worth it just to complete the series. This series should have ended a long time ago.
    • 5/5
      Angel was amazing! When I finished it, I stared at the book for five minutes thinking, "WOW!!!" So, I loved it.Angel is just like the rest of the series, action-packed, funny, and romantic. Throughout the whole book Max is dealing with getting over Fang and accepting Dylan. When she and Fang meet again, (YES, FANG COMES BACK!!!!) they don't get along, partly because of Max II, a member of the Fang Gang.Of course, the rest of the flock is still there, and Angel plays a bigger role in the book than ever before. There is even another evil group that the flock has to defeat in order to save the world.Read the book!
    • 5/5
      Yes that's right, I finished a book. Finally! Ok as I stated last week, James Patterson's new book, Angel came out. If you didn't know this is the second to last book of the series that I am obsessed with, literally. I own every edition. I bought every single one. There are about four of each one so far and yeah I own them all. Now the new one is over, once again I am in a state of sadness because I want the new one now. I do not want to wait until 2012! Anyways, if you have never read any of the Maximum Ride series. Shame on you. Read them now. Angel, though has to one of the best books in the series. Not counting those random two in the middle that were completely random and had nothing to do with the story in my opinion. Back to the new book though, it was amazing. I don't want to say much because the books always start off where they left off. So I'll just mention things that are the basics. If you have never read the books, the main characters of the story are avian hybrid teenagers. Sounds awesome right? That's cause it is. There are six flock children: Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel. They all have been altered with bird DNA, therefore they were born with wings (cool right!?) along with other powers that they find out through out the series. So back to the book. Extremely good, seeing how its the second to last book it was filled with action pack action and suspense. So go out buy the books and read them all and join me in thinking how completely awesome this series is...side note yes I know this book is for kids in middle school mostly. Hear me out though I started the series in the 8th grade. I have even made my mother read them and she is an age that I will not say so I can get feed tonight. We will just say she is an older woman who looks very young for her age. Also my mother has actually enjoyed all of these books too, it just takes her a year to read a book because she is crazy busy. Side note, if you are not interested in reading a book that is based off teenagers, but still find the story line to be interesting check out James Patterson's When the Wind Blows and The Lake House not all the characters are the same, but the whole bird hybrid people are in them. Just for older readers.
    • 5/5
      I'm so glad that Angel has her own story! Really enjoyed this, should of been the last book though. Had a fantastic ending.
    • 3/5
      This book wasn't as fantastic as the others. I don't like how they erased Fang from the story so fast and threw in Dylan to "replace" him so quickly.Max needs to get a hold of herself and try to be a little independent.I'm probably just salty because I miss her and Fang hanging out.I'm still gonna finish the series and I hope things turn out alright for the flock in the end. (Wishing on a star Dylan dies too! ha)
    • 5/5
      More lies and deception are revealed in this book!
    • 3/5
      More continuation of the same story, with an added love "square."
    • 3/5
      This book was ok not one of his best but still pretty good. Though was kind of annoyed with Max as she moped around, but it got better towards the end. The end of the book seems like the end but then you read the epilogue and wonder what is going to happen next.
    • 3/5
      I listened to this audio book and I can see why middle school kids would like it. Test-tube kids who have wings are called to save the world. Danger, adventure and romance...what more could a middle school girl want. It's not necessary to read the earlier books in this series to understand the plot.
    • 3/5
      After a few disappointing and pointless earlier volumes, this one - the second to last, is really starting to pick up steam. Finally, the plot seems to be on track instead of meandering back and forth over various challenges - we're getting to what the characters were maybe meant to do - save the world. Or is it? Character development is good - Max is finally starting to grow up a bit and Angel is as creepy as ever - although she too is starting to show more compassion and become less manipulative. Alas, we still had to put up with that pesky talking dog, but thankfully his role was minimal. Whilst the newly created not-quite-love-triangle is a bit tedious, it is still good to see Max finally getting a little bit past her "Fang is the only one for me" way of thinking. All up, I look forward to the final instalment although I cannot help but think that perhaps Patterson should have started the plot with the DG rather earlier in the series, instead of plugging it in now like he's finally suddenly realised that the storyline needs a Big Bad Evil Thing to beat up on.
