(Maximum Ride #1)
422 pages / 9 hrs, 38 mins
"Six unforgettable kids — with no families, no homes — are running for their lives. Max Ride and her best friends have the ability to fly. And that's just the beginning of their amazing powers. But they don't know where they come from, who's hunting them, why they are different from all other humans... and if they're meant to save mankind — or destroy it." --from the publisherI'm still scratching my head over this one, and not in a good way. It seems the reader is supposed to know part of the backstory, because the writing is disjointed and very little is explained. I give it three out of five stars, but that might be generous.
