Angel Experiment Buddy Read

[Zakiya]

~First assignment~

Read Prologue-Chapter 25, pages 1-80.
Discuss tommorrow.
If you can come up with questions, that would be really great!

Happy Reading! :)

[Zakiya]

Thanks for still participating! We all become so distant after conversation died, I wasn't sure if you all were still going to read w Elyssa and I or not. And you're SO right! This is going to be amazing :)

[[deleted user]]

I'm in.

*runs to grab book and start reading!*

see you ladies in tomorrow.

[Zakiya]

Questions for Pro-Chpt 25: (Nothing elaborate really, just starter questions.)

1. From what you've read in teh first assignment, what are you looking forward to in the book?

2. Any favorite characters so far? Who and why?
For the people rereading The Angel Experiment, did you have a favorite character from the other time/s you read the book? Do you think it could change?

[Zakiya]

Answers to Pro-Chpt 25 questions:

1. Um, well I guess since I'm rereading it, I can't really say exactly what I'm looking forward in the book without giving something away. . . . In general, I'm just looking forward to enjoying the book again :)

2. When I read it the first time, I fell in love with Fang's character. He's always so quiet, but he really cares about the rest of the flock. And for some reasong, he seriously gets hurt a lot in this book. I don't know why but he does. And everytime he just literally rolls with the punches, and fights his way back to his feet. He's a really interesting guy.
-My other favorite character would be Max, I guess. She's different than just regular 14-year old girls (if you don't consider the fact that she's part avian). She has to take care of herself and five other people, and we get to experience the hardships of her responsibility. :)

[Zakiya]

Answers:

1. Well, I hope Max and the others successfully manage to save Angel and that Angel doesn't get hurt too much :(
2. Um, hard to say, but I think Angel. I like that kid! She's so... sweet.

[Starzee]

unfortunately im a little behind in getting the book. hopefully i pick it up today and catch up with u guys tomorrow.

sorry bout this

[[deleted user]]

Don't worry. I'm behind already! I'm only on page 5. I took some allergy medicine and last night as I snuggled into my bed I fell asleep. Yup I woke up with a crick in my neck and a line down my ear from the edge of the book.

[Zakiya]

LOL! Seriously? Amazing Elyssa. I fell asleep trying to read DP, but luckily, it was no where near my face. :)

Starzee: It's okay! Just catch up whenever you can!

Ginny: Good answers!

[Zakiya]

Questions for Chpts 26-48: (some are open-ended; for these you can just comment. Or add on to what I said.)

1. Max: I find it great that Max wants to help people in trouble. To me, that's a good quality to have. Ella and her mom were really nice to her, and I love how they made her feel welcome, like she was naturally part of the family.

2. Fang and Nudge: After Max went down to help Ella, Fang and Nudge flew on to Lake Mead and waited wand waited. . . . But on the way there, Nudge sees a sign that says "Tuscon," supposedly the place where her parents live. Do you think that, when they got to her parents' house, they should have maybe knocked on the door, or stayed behind the spray paint cans, as was the actual plot?

3. Iggy and the Gasman: First they plan and successfully execute an oil-slick-Hummer-wreck. Then they bombed the flock's secret cabin (but that's a plus because they killed Erasers). Iggy and Gazzy were definitely on a roll in showing the Erasers what happens when you mess with their dear loved ones.

4. Angel: She's trapped in the School, having to bravely endure hunger and terrible pain, trying to survive while waiting on Max and the others to save her. Angel was doing bad enough, and then, here comes Jeb, trying to make her feel better. Could this be possible sabotage into getting her hurt even more by the whitecoat jerks at the School? Seeing Jeb again, the one person they all trusted so much before he disappeared, definitel knocked the breath of out Angel.

5. Throughout the second assignment, what was your favorite quote and/or scene? :)

[Zakiya]

Answers to Chpts 26-48 questions:

1. I loved those scenes in the book; Max had been wondering about her parents probably as long as she could form words in her head to know what parents were. She really found one in Dr. Martinez, and she cared for Ella very much as well.

2. I'm really not sure what they should've done. I think that with the actual plot, it was easier for Ari to hurt them, hence my mention of talking to the people that lived there. What I really want to know is: Why the heck didn't that woman do something? Did she not see them or what??
My favorite part in this perspective was when they were fighting the Erasers. "Pinwheel." "Cholla first." "Count of three." "Which meant count of one."

3. I love the characters of Iggy and Gazzy. They're just too ah-dorable to me. They definitely fought back!
I think my favorite out of these 2 was the bombing; Gazzy thought he was going crazy when he heard Iggy telling him what to do. :D

4. Angel is the strongest kid I know. Seriously. She's just so strong and tough, staying somewhat patient while waiting for the flock to rescue her. She's just so cute and she has high spirits, even in the worst situation; Angel is definitely not afraid to fight back.

5. My favorite quote/scene? Don't have one realy; love the whole part. 8)

[Zakiya]

~Third assingment~

Read Chapters 49-66, pages 157-212.
Discuss as soon as possible. Let people get a little caught up first :)

HR!!!

[[deleted user]]

I was too busy today(I was out of home for 9 hours and just got home!), so I didn't have time to read anything, but I'll catch up soon!

[[deleted user]]

First assignment Questions

1. I'm looking forward to Iggy's Bombs. *Pow*

2. A Fav... not really. But I would like to see Fang develop more. And I'm sure he does since now there is a book out titled FANG. I know I'm behind in reading this series.

((This book is so easy to read!))

[[deleted user]]

Second assignment Questions

1. Max - I think Angel should of been more important. Since she did help Ella, I think while she was kicking butt and had the gun in her hand she should of been smart enough to take it away. She could of used it on their rescue mission or tossed it somewhere. She messed up. I'd like to see how Ella and her mom evolve more into the story.

2. Fang and Nudge - (It was a different city that started with a T.) Again, I thought that Angel should of been more important. Nudge was being very selfish and with what happened, I was right when I was yelling at her in my head like FANG.

3. Iggy and Gasman - Yes! Some bomb action! How did those Erasers not die in the SUV flip. At least two are gone. What will they do next?

4. Angel - I think there is something def wrong for her Jeb to be there. Something happened and he left on purpose or they got to him somehow. Something is also off because she can't hear his thoughts.

5. Quote - Page 103. Her wings unfolded and caught the wind like sails, and suddenly she was a small brown boat soaring across an endless blue sea.

[Zakiya]

True. LOL; it was Tipisco. :)

That's a good quote; great answers :D

[Zakiya]

Questions for Chapters 49-66:

1. Max's supposed destiny is to save the world. How do you feel about this. Do you believe Max can save us all? (Have an imagination)

2. The flock is together again!!!!! As was my reaction the first time I read TAE, I was ecstatic when everyone was leaving the School--this time for good, hopefully. All I will say right now is that the book gets even better. :)

3. Once again, Iggy and Gazzy fight back with everything they've got. This time, they had a little help: their hawk buddies from Lake Mead. Was this a major miracle or what?

[Zakiya]

Answers to Chapters 49-66 questions:

1. I think Max can do it. I haven't read the entire series, so I don't know how the whole story will go down. I think it will be even better in the later books though.

2. Yes, the book will get even better. I'm glad we decided to have this BR; the book is just too darn good to pass up reading! Plus, it's such a quick read, as Elyssa said, because the chapters are really short.

3. I really liked this scene. Especially when Fang was beating Ari up. It was just too funny. Although, I wish Patterson had switched scenes and informed us on how Iggy and the Gasman were able to get allt he hawks to follow and fight with them. That would have been really cool. :)

[Zakiya]

~Fourth assignment~

Read Chapters 67-89, pages 213-280.
Discuss soon :D

1. My reaction matched Max', actually. I was like "Yeah, riiight. Why does she have to save the world, anyway? Is it gonna end soon or what?"
2. I was really happy to see they were leaving the damn school and I hope they never have to return again.
3. I think they were being smart. I mean, they'd been smart-asses with bombes, and this time, they reacted quickly and started the rescue mission.

[Zakiya]

Great answers, Ginny! (Try not to use profanity though.) :D

[[deleted user]]

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I thought the School deserved the word.

[Zakiya]

It's okay. They probably deserve a lot more than that. Just keep it to a minimum, or none if you can manage it. I can't let you break the group rules. It'd be unfair.

[Zakiya]

*NOTICE: I've combined my questions for assignments four and five, so I will cut you all a break today. There will be questions up tomorrow :). But:

~Fifth assignment~

Read Chapters 90-109, pages 281-343.
Discuss soon; happy reading! :D

[Zakiya]

Questions for Chapters 67-89 and 90-109:

1. At first, Max seems to be heading towards death with her terrible headaches. But they then appear to come along with the Voice. It looks (or actually sounds) like an ally, as it's trying to help her. Your thoughts?

2. Fang's and Nudge's parents believe them dead; Iggy's mom died when he was born; Gazzy and Angel's parents gave them away; and Max . . . well, we don't know the status on her parents. Please tell me I'm not the only curious one here.

3. Max's brain and Voice have started messing with electrical currents (if that's what you could call them). She's getting messages on TV screens, computers, taxi signs. A little creepy if you ask me.

4. Angel has even more unique abilities! Besides being able to read a person's thoughts, Angel can apparently persuade people to do whatever she wants by sending thought-commands to them. She's definitely what we might call "superhuman."
**There is also another power Angel has, but it's in the last assignment! :)

5. Now they have been exposed to the public, all because the manager wouldn't give them the food they asked for. Personally, I think that was a bunch of pish posh that could've been avoided.

6. Favorite quotes/scenes?

[Zakiya]

Answers to chapters 67-109 questions:

1. I think it could maybe be someone from teh School. Like Jeb said, (indirect) "everything's a test." They could be toying with her all the time, just to see her reactions to everything.
And that chip in her arm is a little disturbing; I think that's how they're tracking the flock.

2. Whenever they go to talking about their parents, it makes me feel really good to have mine with me. I feel so sorry for them, knowing that they've never actually had a shot at a normal life. :(

3. This really does creep me out. Especially that MIT kid from the tunnel. He had some serious issues.
I guess the Voice just figures that it should be able to catch Max's attention without always being in her head. Other poss explanation: chip. That chip could be messing with the electrical currents.

4. Angel is becoming my favorite charrie. She's really unique, and the girl is just seriously tough. All these gifts she's been given are necessary, so to speak, for her part in Life's play.

5. Seriously?? A bunch of stupid pish posh. . . .

6. The two of mine that I really enjoy in this book are actually in part 6 I believe, but I will go ahead and post them on here:

-" 'We're in the Institute,' I said.
'Uhm, is that a good thing?' asked Gazzy.
'Holy [insert a swear word of your choice here:],' Fang said, stunned.
'No kidding,' I said."

-" 'This is the coolest thing ever. First we meet our parents. Joyful reunion, hugs, kisses. Then we go destroy the School, the Institute, all those sons of b--I mean, all those jerks who messed us up.' " Iggy

[Starzee]

Okie! good news: I have the book. Not so good news: I'm hooked on Hunger Games at the moment and havent started. But i was wandering if i could post my asnwers even after the buddy read has been done. Because im really loving the questions and am looking forward to answering them

1. At first, Max seems to be heading towards death with her terrible headaches. But they then appear to come along with the Voice. It looks (or actually ..."

My answers:

1. Zakiya's theory about the Voice being somebody from the School seems plausible to me, too. At first I thought it might be Jeb, but... well, I don't know if he's an ally or not.
2. I actually know who Max' parents are *wince* At the end of my copy was some chapters from the fifth book, Max, and well... now I know. But I'm not gonna tell you who it is!
3. Call me crazy, but I think it's kind of cool, too.
4. As much as I like Angel, the sudden change of her character is weird. At first she seems to be a real softie, but then all of sudden she gets fierce and snaps at Max... huh.
5. Well, Max or one of the Flock should have thought of the Manager's reaction first before they went in...

[Zakiya]

Ginny: I have read about it on Wikipedia. Already know as well. I was so mad at myself for spoiling the series, that I emailed my BFF right away and ruined it for her too. LOL! Great answers :)

Thats fine! I will leave the topic open after we're done until you get a chance to post all your answers. I think you will have a lot of time though because (1) we're not done, and (2) we still have to discuss. :D

[Zakiya]

So as I didn't post the 6th assn yesterady, you have had one more idle day :)

~Sixth (and last!) assignment~

Read Chapter 110-Epilogue, pages 345-422.
Discuss whenever everyone is finished :)

Happy Reading!

[Zakiya]

I've been gone for a few days, but here are the questions for the last assignment. Answer ASAP please! :)

1. Did you enjoy The Angel Experiment? Was it one that you liked/loved and would read again?

2. After being with the flock in ther debut novel, , do you possibly havce any favorite charries? What made/makes you love the character/s?

3. Would you participate in a Buddy Read for the sequel, School's Out - Forever, if we arranged one? When do you think would be a good time to start the possible BR?


**Thank you SO much for participating with us!! We hope you'll enjoy the rest of the series, and whatever books you are currently reading. Happy Future Reading! 8D

[Zakiya]

1. I would def reread this book. I've read it twice this year, only about a month apart at that. I don't htink it will be reread anytime this year. Maybe next summer :)

2. My favorite character.... I was so darn sure that I was going to have one, but I really don't. All the characters were well defined, and I enjoyed reading in their perspectives.

3. I would def participate in a BR for School's Out - Forever, but I might not be reading it with the "group" if I've read it by the time we start.
--A good time to start... That may be hard to decide upon with everyone's different sched's. Maybe in the middle of July? But def not early July.
