Part I

So malik and i started our very exclusive book club! so far we have several books we have already both read and its all very exciting!!

right now im reading MAX

which is in the Maximum Ride series!!

There are several main characters that all happen to have avian DNA grafted onto their human DNA in order to give them wings and several other awesome power type thingies.

Max: protaginist, super fast flier, flock leader

Fang: most BADASS side-kick ever, in love w/Max(oh max is a girl AND she is in love w/Fang), ability to blend in w/ and surroundings

Iggy: blind, has the ability to feel colors, pyrotechnics genius

Gasman: Iggy's right hang man, pyro genius as well, ability to imitate w/100% accuracy any sound, Angel's brother

Nudge: talker, can hack any computer, and draws metalic objects to her, super girly, actually pretty normal

Angel: FREAK, mind reader, mind manipulator, 6 years old, communicates w/ fish, can breathe under water

Erasers: flock hunters

In any case I would have to say Fang, and nudge are my favorites.

See fang has tons of power and could really override max at anytime, but he supports her instead.He is also dark and mysterious, but dependable at the same time. He is patient with the rest of the flock even when you know he is thinking about strangling them.

Nudge is just so normal, yet at the same time she is compassionate, and wants a family and acceptance so badly which is in the heart of every person. plus she is totally bad ass for such a kid.

when you take a look at the flock altogether it represents the chalanges of adolescence.

Max is the leader, maternal or paternal part of us that wants to protect others. she also has no idea what she wants and is constantly conflicted.

fang is the strong silent part of us that supports our friends and is willing to take risks if it means protecting them.

Iggy represents the part of us that is missing something. He is missing his sight yet his family of friends surrounds him to fill in where he is lacking.

Gasman represents the part of us that wants to mimik others and fit in, but he also represents the completion of Iggy, and the part of us that is willing to fill in the space in others where they are gaping.

Nudge is the compelling part of us that draws others in, and yearns for love above all else.

Angel represents the dangerously powerful part of us. The part that can manipulate others, and has emmense power and danger.

so essentially James Patterson is a genius and I love him dearly
