Chronicle In Favor Of Books Maximum Ride, Vol. 1 (Maximum Ride: The Manga #1)
Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it’s like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the “flock”—Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel—are just like ordinary kids—only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time... like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the “School” where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs.Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare—this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf “Erasers” in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb—now her betrayed and greatest enemy—that her purpose is save the world—but can she?

I read the book version of this manga about 20 years ago, before James Patterson was a big kahuna. I was still in high school, had never heard of dystopian lit, rarely read sci-fi, and found the idea pretty awesome. I haven't read the manga until now because it's just been on my radar but the length of the series intimidated me--such a big commitment.I finally picked up the series for my son, who is resistant to reading anything new. When he refused to read them, I started on book 1. I read it4.5 stars.Not very long ago, I read the first novel in the MAXIMUM RIDE series and quite enjoyed the action, characters and story. But, as I was reading it, I kept wondering what it would be like to *see* this series.So we sadly dont have a TV show of this, but we do have a manga series (and a badly rated digital movie).And its pretty damn exceptional.Fortunately, there arent huge changes made to the plot at all. Its still about Angel being kidnapped and Max and her crew going to rescue her, but
I loved this book. Not because of the pictures but because I found it very well organized. I think that it will help me understand what I am reading when I read the actual book and not the graphic novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes James Patterson books.
From what I remember of the actual books, this follows it to a T. It also seems a bit more fast paced then the novels if I remember correctly as well. I used to love this series and this graphic novel brings back so many memories.
I have to review this both in relation to the original, and by its own. Tough!Anyway, the story is still amazing and captivating, so points there. It's an American original manga that they hired a Korean to write. It is definitely MANGA and not GRAPHIC NOVEL, especially considering it was serialized first in Yen Magazine. However, it does read left to right. I feel like a little bit of the internal feelings/thinking is lost in this version over the original, which is interesting because many
okay, this is interesting.
