Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I expected more from Patterson
Review: I have read nearly all the Alex Cross books and was eagerly anticpating a new James Patterson novel, but strongly disappointed with this one. Children with wings.....Give me a break!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book was disappointing and inane.
Review: I have read all of the author's other books and enjoyed them. This one disappointed me. Although it was easy reading I found it badly written. Genetic engineering may be upon us, but I found the book inane. I also don't know why Mr. Patterson thinks that a child with wings is beautiful.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NOT ALEX CROSS, BUT KEPT ME READING
Review: A Book Should Keep Your Interest, You Shouldn't Want To Put It Down. Yes, This Is A Little FANTASTICAL, But An Interesting Read That Kept Me Going Until The End. ENTERTAINING!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: CORNY
Review: I was really expecting more out of this. Instead, I found myself skipping pages, yawning, and the corniest ending known to man. Come on, Patterson, we know you can do better than this!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting story
Review: I thought this book was an easy read. The chapters were short and interesting.

James Patterson did a good job of telling this story about genetic altering of humans, but he did leave me hanging a few times. I did not understand how Kit first became involved through the FBI with this case; nor, did I understand why the various doctors were killed. That part of the plot didn't make a lot of sense. Why was the lab left totally unattended and open with the geneticlaly altered children alive? These children could also fly and they were later selling the children to the highest bidders.

Again, I liked the book, because I liked the fantasy and the happy ending.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was a good change, very original
Review: I liked this book as well as all his other works. I thought that this book would be too much of a radical change but it was just right.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the typical James Patterson murder thriller
Review: Gone is Alex Cross and the suspenseful murder mysteries. We are now into the 21 century with genetic engineering. An up-to-date topic but a little bit out there. Die-hard Patterson fans may be a bit disappointed. A page turner anyway.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A last resort when you can't sleep on an airplane
Review: This was my first, and last, James Patterson novel. Why? 1) Formulaic writing that reads like a first effort following an "Intro to Fictional Writing" seminar. 2) Awkward, self-consciously placed pop culture references. 3) Heavy-handed emotional manipulation. 4) Inexplicable switching between 1st- and 3rd-person narration.

Lament the fact that this book is the #1 paperback and find something good to read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: NOT ANYTHING LIKE ALEX CROSS
Review: This book is not at all like Alex Cross books. It is fairly boring and too much fantasy. If you like sci-fi or fantasy books then you'd like this, if not don't read this. Save your money for Alex Cross books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Page turner with a bit wierdness to it
Review: I thought this book was very interesting and was definently a page turner, but the plot was a little too strange and the way sex was thrown into the story was very awkward considering all the events that were taking place. I would recommend this book though, I like the way the author wrote it, with short chapters.
