Although this novel took me longer to read, on and off, it's also difficult to classify it under genres. I kept it as mystery, since I didn't read When the Wind Blows, and since Patterson writes mysteries. But it does have sci fi/fantasy elements in it, the mad science appeal of Robin Cook's Mutation and horror elements a tiny bit of Dean Koontz. So it's a combination of this and that. Maybe I should've read When the Wind Blows first. When I do read that book, maybe I can understand it better.I really liked reading this book!FBI agent Kit Harrison and veterinarian Frannie ONeill are seen fighting for the custody of their six genetically inclined children. Even though Frannie and Kit arent the biological parents, they have a closer bond to these children and consider themselves their real parents. After the trial, the judge decides that the children should be reunited with their biological parents because Frannie and Kit arent married and could not be accountable for the
I'm gonna be honest, this wasn't that great of a book. But it is however incredibly interesting to see how this idea evolved into what we now know as the Maximum Ride series.
I don't know what possessed me to not look at the author's name before I picked this book up to read. I hate James Patterson's writing. I started reading the book, thought to myself that I didn't like the writing style, got about 100 pages in (struggling to stay with it) and then actually checked to see who the author was. I could have kicked myself. His books are pathetically simplistic. His chapters are all either 2 or 3 pages long. The dialogue is so simple that I doubt there are any words of
it was a fast read, sometimes the switch between how it was narrated was hard to adjust to. subject was OK.
Fun read, but sequel almost repeat of original...Like most Patterson novels, this one raced along (on top of his usual short chapters and fast pace) to a relatively satisfying conclusion, although somehow it seemed like the last 15 miles of a 500 mile race were mysteriously eluded. But unlike the author's other efforts, there wasn't much original in this story. Not only is the cast identical (except for the villain) to "When the Wind Blows" (namely, Kit, Frannie, and the six bird-children), but
1.5 stars because Max is boss, but between the weird second person narration, the TSTL characters, the awkward and unpolished prose, and the sex between two children (this resulted in a fucking birth, by the way), this book is a mess, and I feel stupid and unclean for having read it to the end.
