SuitabookThe Angel Experiment
James Patterson
- Reading
- Pause after major revelations or confrontations to check how the group handles fear, loyalty and responsibility. Afterwards, discuss whether extraordinary abilities change what the characters owe one another.
- Themes
- Found family and loyalty: Max and the other winged young people rely on one another, while Jeb's role changes from father figure to enemy. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Power and responsibility: Max learns that she may have a purpose involving saving the world, despite being fourteen. The premise raises questions about power and responsibility, but it does not establish whether the burden is welcomed, resisted or treated as morally necessary.
- Experimentation and bodily difference: The flock have wings and were experimented on at the School; Angel is taken back there after being kidnapped. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Be ready for kidnapping, human experimentation, threatening half-human creatures and physical fighting.
