The Lake House by James Patterson is an interesting book about five genetically altered bird children and their care takers. These children, Max, Ozymandias, Ic, Matthew, Wendy, and Peter, had been taken from their mothers at birth and were allegedly dead until a veterinarian, Franny, and an FBI agent, Kit, rescued them from a horrible secret experiment lab called the school. The kids are forced to go back to living with their biological parents that they’ve never met and are very depressed about it. This novel explores the young bird children’s emotional growth as they fight to live with Franny and Kit and as they run for their lives from the evil doctor Kane. michaele4kk | Apr 20, 2009 |   I didn't like this book at all. (  )r0ckcandy | Apr 9, 2009 | Reminds me a lot of Michael Creighton's Next, but easier to read. This is my first James Patterson novel. I found him easy to read. The story was a little shallow, more so toward the end. (  )DanStratton | Feb 14, 2009 | Great listening on cd. Story is way out there but deliciously entertaining. (  )hammockqueen | Feb 5, 2009 | The sequal to When the Wind Blows, and it starts off with a bang. Frannie and Kit are waiting to find out if they will received custody of the extraordinary children, but while they’re trying to move on with their lives past heartache, someone else is creating a place much worse than the school - The Hospital. It was a great conclusion to the adventure, even up until the very last page of the book, where you are unsure what is really going to happen. I’m interested to see where the Maximum Ride series comes in and how they take off from end of this story. Unless, it’s about the kids adventures before they meet Frannie and Kit. Overall, a very good book, doesn’t necessarily need to accompanied with When the Wind Blows. (  )blondierocket | Nov 20, 2008 | 0.048 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
