A review by dlberglund
The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
3.0
A family of kids must survive against all odds. Against a huge organization that is out to get them, against the society who can't know about them, against people who betray them, against huge mutant wolf-people, against the voices in their heads, against hunger and fear. But don't worry: they have working wings.
A teacher friend recommended this a couple of years ago, saying she really liked it and her students loved it. I thought it was good-ish, but not great. I was too annoyed by the seeming futility of it all, the not-so-subtle plot twists, and the inability to understand some characters' motives. I'm not sorry I read it, but it didn't measure up, and I was frustrated by the the insurmountable odds that they somehow keep surmounting.
