Reading Response

      I'm currently reading the book Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson  this book is really great because it shows what an older sibling would do for her other siblings. Max is a girl that is 98% human and 2% bird and so are her other "siblings". None of them are actually related they were all kids that were used in an experiment and didn't have an official guardian. Max is the oldest one so she feels a responsibility to take care of the others. She specially feels the need to take care of Angel, the youngest one, but that's kind of difficult because Angel got taken away by half human, half wolf scientists. When this happens Max goes out with her other siblings and they look for Angel everywhere they can.
     Max is a really great person even though she has a short temper, she really cares about all of her siblings and making them feel somewhat normal. The author shows us how much taking care of Angel was important to Max by telling us what max was thinking like, "I'd never told the others but i just loved, loved, loved Angel. Maybe because I've been taking care of her practically since she was a baby".They all try to take care of each other too and they are all really smart so when they see the half human, half wolf scientists they already know how to protect themselves. Another really great thing about Max is that she doesn't try to deny what's really going on, because she's very logical, so if she sees that something is wrong she doesn't try to deny the situation and pretend everything is okay she actually tries to fix the situation right away. One example that shows how Max tries to fix situations right way is,"Shakily, I got to my feet. My head was spinning and I had to lean against Fang, hating my weakness."We've got to get her," I said urgently, trying to stay upright".
   Overall this is a really great book and it's very dramatic, sweet, and mysterious all in one which is what I think makes the book so great. I also really like it because Max took a lot of sacrifices for her youngest sister, which most people wouldn't do. The reason I liked the sacrifices is because most people would just tell the police that someone kidnapped their sister and hope for the best but Max actually got up and went looking out for her sister her self.
