Summary: it's not great, but better than most
Review: i've read about half of this book so far. ive read all but one of patterson's novels. this one is by far the most fantasy based. i can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it, but i really think its a good book.

Summary: Ridiculous, Uninteresting...
Review: I couldnt believe this was James Patterson, the writter of so many nail biting tails. Even when i was coming to the end of it, i could just put it down and come back after 1-2 weeks. I thought it must have been one of his older books but alas no.

Summary: Almost unbearable
Review: I have listened to a lot a lot of really bad books on tape, butthis has to be the WORST. Stock, one-dimensional characters,cliche-filled dialog, far-fetched plot--everything that makes for bad listening/reading. I bought it for a long trip in my car. After a few hours I found it easier to listen to static on my radio than to listen to this. I tried to think of one thing that was not awful (to warrant the single star I was forced to give in this review) about this book and I finally came up with this. The author did a reasonably good job of researching his biology. The science is at least as good as other books of this type and probably about as good as it could be given the far-fetched premise of the story.

Summary: This book was SO-O-O interesting. I couldn't put it down
Review: The probability of misuse of genetic research exists. This book was so powerful, that a week after I finished it, I was still thinking about it. Patterson did some great research in compiling the details of this fascinating look at bio-research. It takes place in Colorado and the setting helps dissipate the intensity of the topic. Mixing in a love affair, bright and wonderful children, and some FBI investigation just keeps the reader's emotions hopping from one thing to the other. A great summertime read!

Summary: Not his Greatest but entertaining nonetheless
Review: A little far fetched and not as well written as his others but I still read this book in just a couple of days because after all Patterson knows how to keep your interest piqued!! I recommend it, but I can see why some of the reviewers were disappointed.

Summary: I found this book to be entertaining.
Review: I hadn't read a novel in years, until I got "When the Wind Blows". I was on vacation and grabbed every spare moment to read. I liked the story and the characters. Since it was fiction I wasn't concerned about the accuracy in the scientific "facts". I want to thank Mr. Patterson for writing such a fun book. It got me in the mood to read again. I have been reading ever since. I love Alex Cross, but would like to see a sequel to "When the Wind Blows".

Summary: Try it, you might like it...
Review: I've read James Patterson before, and have enjoyed his books. But I must admit, based on reviews I've seen here, I was hesitant to try this book--but I did. Guess, what...I thoroughly enjoyed it. It reads like a typical Patterson book, with the one exception -- you must suspend (or either expand) belief so that you can accept that a person can be "engineered" to have attributes not found in a typical person--i.e., wings. You know...something akin to cloning... A while back, no one would have believed that possible, but now we know better. The story is interesting and has the requisite amount of suspense, action, and likeable characters -- along with a few of those you just want to hate. If you like Patterson and don't mind a little science in your fiction, you'll probably like the book. I know I did.

Summary: This is NOT a James Patterson book
Review: I simply cannot believe this book was written by James Patterson. The writing is amateruish with too many loose and open ends. One finds the characters Kit and Frannie hard to relate to. Patterson should stick to what he does best, entertaining us brilliantly with his suspense thrillers. Emulating Michael Chrichton is not his forte and will probably cause him to lose faithful readers like myself.

Summary: Love or Hate ......I Loved it
Review: From the other reviews it appears a person either Loves this book or thinks it's a total waste. I enjoyed the characters and the pace. I would like to hear more regarding Kit & Fannie.

Summary: Don't rush out and buy this book
Review: Appallingly written, I read about two thirds of this book, and then didn't even bother to finish it. I'd just finished reading the beautifully written The Loop by Nicholas Evans, and I couldn't stop comparing the two styles of writing, the plot and the characters of the two books.What a disappointment.
