This book is written in classic Patterson style ... short chapters that leave you hanging and NEEDING to read the next one. (Or as I like to call it ... "I'll read just one more chapter until before you know it, there are no more left to read") I read this book in just a few hours and I really liked it. It IS geared more toward Young Adults though, like the Maximum Ride series. Patterson has already made it known that this will be his new series, as at the end of this book he gives you sneak peeks at the next two in the series ... which also leave you wanting MORE and RIGHT NOW!!
I know that Patterson has been getting a lot of grief as of late for his writing style, but he is indeed an exceptional and talented writer and he is still my favourite author, and I like the fact that he is able to write for adults, teens and even children. Not many authors have that ability ...

I've read the Maximum Ride trilogy, but nothing else by this author until I picked this book up at the library. It was different than most books I've read, and definitely a read-in-one-sitting book. I really liked it. Exciting, non-stop action... Almost as good as Maximum Ride. ;-) Recommended!

If this was the 1st book I had read rom James Patterson - it would have been the LAST.
It does not fit in any catagory that true Patterson fans might expect. It is a science fiction (poorly written) story fit for pre-teens. Daniel is an alien sent to earth to kill other aliens that are intent o harming earth. A PATTERSON BOOK TO AVOID.
