I am not a James Patterson fan, but I think he does a better job with this book in the sci-fi genre than he's done with anything else he's written. (  )yargles | Jul 6, 2009 |   I love this book, one of my favorite's of James Patterson, hands down. The plot has just the right amount of science fiction meshed with Patterson's typical flair for the dramatic. But... what is going on with the new children's series (Maximum Ride- the Angel Experiment) that borrows about half of its material from this book, and then ruins it? C'mon James...you can do better than that. Also, has anyone else noticed some creepy similiarities between When the Wind Blows and the Sci-Fi show produced by James Cameron, Dark Angel. (starring Jessica Alba, as a transgenic super-girl named Max) I don't know which came first, but there are too many similiarities for mere coincidence. (  )rklaeren | Apr 25, 2009 | This was my first James Patterson book, and I enjoyed it. I even went out of my way to purchase the sequel, The Lake House. The plot is somewhat unique, a cross between Michael Crichton and Isaac Asimov, with some Mary Higgins Clark thrown in. The book combines romance, suspense, science fiction, teen angst, and horror surprisingly well, and one of the few books where the plot twists are actually surprising. (  )dman999327 | Apr 24, 2009 | Who knew wind currents could reveal a mortal in flight...both convincingly and delightfully. This compelling youngster-superior, vulnerable, and hunted-launched me to my feet. I became one of her fight for life and flght aides, to battle off the enemy. A story forever in a class of it's own- this explosive mystery adventure is much too large for the big screen to ever capture. (  )rustbucket | Jan 29, 2009 | Easy read, but sort of a goofy plot. A human child with wings? Scientific cross breeding? Hmmm. I prefer reading about the real world. This was the second James Patterson book I've read. I liked the first one much better (The Quickie). I found myself rolling my eyes occasionally while reading While The Wind Blows. (  )porchsitter55 | Oct 17, 2008 | 0.014 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0316693324, Hardcover)When the Wind Blows has one of those outrageous premises that you either buy into (a girl with wings?), or you don't. Fortunately, Blair Brown's narration helps you suspend disbelief. Brown, the multi-Emmy-nominated star of the classic TV series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, reads the story with more authority than the plot seems to merit. But as urgent and forceful as she is with the central narration, she's even better when reading the first-person passages in the voice of Frannie O'Neill, the widowed veterinarian at the center of this James Patterson thriller. That's when she gives the story real heart, a desperately needed humanity in the midst of all the cloning and genetic tinkering. (Running time: six hours, four cassettes) --Lou Schuler(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
