I read these two books having read the teen fiction Maximum Ride series. Although the stories don't connect (they could be alternate universes) it was fun to be reading about Max again. However, the crimes in this book were more gruesome, I guess to appeal to a more adult audience. Personally I much preferred the teen stories. ( )

Second of James Patterson I have read and I enjoyed this book. Sadly what took place in this story with experimenting on humans is already happening, not with genetics and cross breeding but with vaccines and things of that nature. I just can't believe the things they did to these innocent mothers or their children. Made me cringe knowing the things they were capable of doing. I am glad though that the children were able to reunite with their families at the end and can only hope they weren't rejected after all. Can't wait to read another by Patterson. ( )

Definitely different for Patterson but I really liked it. One little mistake though, he mentioned fireflies in the mountains of Colorado. We don't have them here. I know, picky, picky....

Loved the kids and Kit and Frannie. A quick and interesting read. Now, tt read the Lake House. ( )

An emotional roller-coaster ride, When the Wind Blows is a story about resilience in the face of overwhelming odds and love in the wake of devastating hopelessness. When I read this book over twenty years ago, I loved it. And now, after rereading it, it still has the power to warm my heart. Patterson skillfully combines a children's fairy tale with terrifying violence as he spins a story of power-crazy scientists conducting biological experiments on children in a secret lab hidden in the wood of the Colorado Rockies. The vulnerability of the winged children, the cruelty of the scientist/doctors, and the bravery of Max, a unique, eleven-year-old miracle, brought tears to my eyes many times. I recommend this one to everyone who loves the supernational. ( )
