But disregarding my lameness, I've been rereading the first Maximum Ride book lately. I stopped, what with all the homework screaming at me, but it's sitting on my desk waiting to be read. I already reviewed Max (the fifth book), but I think I should do the first, too. :)
What I'm Reading: Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. Like I said before, it's the first in the Maximum Ride series. (Yes, I'm sure. The series is set up really confusingly [WHOA, confusingly is a word?!], but this is the first.) In this book, Max and the flock are living in secrecy, unknown to anyone, but one day an old enemy shows up and kidnaps Angel, the youngest flock member. Now they have to go find her before a crew of complete psychos uses her for their experiments...
They were getting closer. Dim light filtered in through the woods in front of me -- a clearing? Please, please... a clearing could save me.I burst through the trees, chest heaving, a thin sheen of cold sweat on my skin.Yes!No -- oh, no!I skidded to a halt, my arms waving, my feet backpedaling in the rocky dirt.It wasn't a clearing. In front of me was a cliff, a sheer face of rock that dropped to an unseeable floor hundreds of feet below.In back of me were woods filled with drooling bloodhounds and psycho Erasers with guns.Both options stank.The dogs were yelping excitedly -- they'd found their prey: moi.I looked over the deadly drop.There was no choice, really. If you were me, you'd have done the same thing,I closed my eyes, held out my arms... and let myself fall over the edge of the cliff.
Ooh, cliffy! :D
