Dumb, dumb, dumb! Bird people=dumb book!

[Sanne De Veries · Rating 2 out of 5]

Picked this up in a thrift shop and despite throughly enjoying other work from Patterson this fell flat for me on all fronts.

I was so happy to finish this book, and not in a I can't wait to see what happens way! But a my god this is truly awful way! I normally love James Patterson, but this book had no depth, and I didn't feel for any of the characters. I feel it was rushed and you didn't get a chance to know the characters. Thank god its over! Sorry JP but definitely the worst book of yours I have ever read!

Great book

I love Alex Cross and would love to be in his family! Nana Mama is wonderful and his kids have fun personalities. I enjoy Patterson's early book but lately he's getting back to a writing style similar to his early style. Some things never change-short chapters, good writing and interesting characters.

this is for When The Wind Blows. I loved Max and the way everything flowed. Frannie and Kit had to gain her trust and Max had to finally trust in someone. The chapters were short so it was easy to put the book down and start on a new chapter. I love James Patterson this was a mystery science fiction.

when the wind blows is a great book and now on to lake house then the rest of the series

[Carrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed these books way more than I thought I would. I'm typically not a sci-fi kind of girl, but I was hooked as soon as I read the first one.

[Jamie Roethlisberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great! I read the second one in one day!

[Winnifred Sylvester · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cool....

[Ashli Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books were fast moving and exciting, like many of James Patterson's books. This was one of the first books that I read and I was instantly hooked on JP. :)

[Stephanie Worley · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story idea in this book is so disturbing... It made me think a lot about my values and what people are going to be able to do with tech innovations in the future. Scary!

[Tucker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting/weird concept. Highly recommended

[A.B. Shepherd · Rating 5 out of 5]
