Maximum Ride: The Angel Expirament
By: James Patterson

The Angel Expiriment is the first installment in a five book series. It tells the gripping story of Maximum Ride, a twelve year-old orphan. Max and her "flock" of friends were the tragic victims a cruel genetic expirement. Scientists graphted avian DNA into thier blood, and the result was that they all grew wings.

This book is fantastic for a light read. I wouldn't reccommend it if you wanted to read something deep and meaningful, but if you just want to kick back and relax with a good book, Maximum Ride is perfect. It was reccommended to me by a good friend of mine, and now I'm reccommending it to you, my friends. :)

Happy Reading!

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn by: Stephenie Meyer













This is a fantastic series as a whole, and even if you just read one of the books it would definatly be worth your time. Age is not an obstacle for this series of books. I have great friends who refer to themselves as "Twilight Mom", and another friend we refer to as the "Twilight Grandma". So as you can see, these are not exclusivley for teenagers. Sort of like Nacy Drew, the classics don't have age limits.
We first meet 17 year-old Bella Swan in Twilight, and follow the story of her other worldy connection with Edward Cullen through New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.
When Bella Swan moves to Forks, Washington she imediatly becomes intrested in the reclusive, and goregeous Cullen family. Dr. Carlise Cullen and his wife Esme, along with their adopted children Edward, Alice, and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale have never really fit in. Too beautiful for words, and alarmingly graceful, they are just to good to be true. The people of Forks are wary of their mysterious and frightning perfection. All except Bella. She imediatly becomes entranced with the adopted siblings, 17 year-old Edward in particular.
Come along one her journey of self discovery, and breathtaking romance.
Meyer's elequent language and suspensful writing techniques will pull you in the moment you open the cover.
I highly reccommend this serie to anyone who is willing to take an adventure.
Happy Reading! :)
