The Angel Experiment
The book is good with all of the action and things but it uses the name of the Lord in vain. It would be good if they could fix that but hey I don’t know anyone personally who rubs elbows with James Patterson. All of the other books in that series: school’s out forever, saving the world and other extreme sports, the final warning,
I enjoyed the book, a quick read, as are all of Mr. Patterson’s books lately. At least this was one that I wanted to finish. The last two books of his, I gave up since I was bored. If you are a Patterson “fan”, this is worth a try. It is probably available from a library.
Not worth it, no ending, it builds and stops…..Stick to the alex cross books…..
Can please track this book the person I ordered it for says they never received it.
Apart from all the very good observations that others have noted about the unfinished nature of the novel, and it’s narrative inconsistancies, nobody seems to have mentioned that much of the premise seems to have been cribbed directly from James Cameron’s short-lived series Dark Angel, starring Jessica Alba (which, incidentally, has been accused of ripping off the earlier YA series Fearless, published under Francine Pascal’s umbrella of writers). Both have main characters named Max that are running from the scientific program that created them. Both sets of characters have superstrength and animal genes and qualities. And both find a sympathetic character on the outside to deal with their injuries (in Patterson’s Max’s case, the kindly female vet). I’ll resist further comparisons, but I challenge anyone that’s seen the series to have a look and see if they agree with me. I wasn’t expecting much from this, and in fact picked it up because the dust jacket blurb made it sound similar to Dark Angel. I just didn’t realise how similar.
