Okay, so have you read the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson? If yes, GOOD FOR YOU! You may skip this entry. If not, GET THEE TO A LIBRARY!!! I just read six of them in three days flat. They are absolutely brilliant. I should also add that I spent the longest time avoiding these books, because the concept just seemed weird to me. If you don't already know, the premise of these books is that there are six kids--Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel-- who have been grafted with two percent bird DNA. They have wings, basically. I don't know about you, but that seems pretty bizzare to me. And now I must relent, because now that I actually READ these books, I know that I was a great FOOL to avoid them in the first place! I wish you luck, my dear Reader, because these books fly off the shelves (yes, pun very much intended) so it's hard to get your hands on them in order. Still, it's worth it if you can actually buy them so you don't HAVE to try to get them back in to the school library by Monday, causing you to shirk all other duties in favor of the books.
