Rating:
Summary: I want my money back!!!
Review: This is by far, the worst book I have ready in many years. I did not know that Patterson wrote "science fiction". Save your money!

Summary: Attention Holder, not his ususal
Review: Im crazy about James Patterson. Just finished When the Wind Blows. Interesting, held my attention, but not his usual style. Guess Im used to Det. Alex Cross and cant wait for next book with him as main character. Feel like I know him personally......

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: I have to say I was very disappointed in this book. I kept waiting for the old James Patterson style to shine through but it just wasn't there. It used to be that when he wrote a new book I bought it sight unseen - not anymore.

Summary: Disappointment. The story line too far out .
Review: I look forward to any book by James Patterson. This story line,however, was a bit too far fetched for even my usually vivid imagination. The concept of Genetic engineering has always interested me, but children with wings, REALLY!

Summary: J Patterson continues to amaze me with his great writing!
Review: If you enjoy James Patterson novels like I do, you'll love this book! Although imminently different than the Alex Cross novels of the recent past, this book continues to amaze James Patterson fans with the unique writing style and mystery that can be detected in all of his books to date. I'll admit that I was a little leary when I learned that the book did not include Alex Cross, but I wasn't disappointed in the least with the outcome. Though one must sustain a slight sense of imagination and future discoveries, this book definately is an edge of your seat page turner! Way to go again in your great book writing skills James Patterson!!!

Summary: FOR ALL FICTION LOVERS WITH IMAGINATION AND HEART!!!
Review: I found this latest offering from Patterson to be both entertaining and able to hold my interest. For all fiction lovers with an imagination and heart this is a must read. Enjoy!

Rating:
Summary: weak, expected, lame dialogue
Review: Disappointing. I expected so much more from Patterson. I found the dialogue to be immature. I previously enjoyed his other books Patterson took one idea (it should have been a short story) and went nowhere with it.

Rating:
Summary: A great disappointment.
Review: This story was so far from any reality, that it was hard to stay with it. I love a science fiction angle, but it's nice if some threads can be drawn to reality to make the premise seem plausible. The style of writing, also, did not resemble the previous books by this author, books which I greatly enjoyed. Frankly, it read as if a contract were being fulfilled, and much was done by ghost-writers. Sorry, but this one's not for me.

Rating:
Summary: Not worth the time it took to read it!
Review: I kept waiting for something to happen to bring me into the story. It never did. This was a farfetched bunch of hooey in my opinion. At least when Mr. Patterson is writing about serial killers and Dr Alex Cross, the characters are believable. Even if the Government or private companies are genetically engineering children into birds, I don't care to read about it. Please bring back Dr. Cross.

Summary: I'd actually give it zero stars if I could
Review: Patterson's not the greatest writer, granted, but I've always enjoyed his storytelling ability. Not with this book! The premise is unrealistic, and not presented with any kind of skill to allow me to suspend my disbelief. The bad writing just jumps off the page. I'm sorry I spent the money on this...
