Book Description:
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, the most brilliant and original "what if" suspense novel to come along in a decade, has somehow surpasses the page-turning chills of James Patterson's megabestsellers CAT & MOUSE and KISS THE GIRLS.

Frannie O'Neill, a young and talented veterinarian whose husband was recently murdered, comes across an astonishing discovery in the woods near her animal hospital. Soon after, Kit Harrison, a troubled and unconventional FBI agent, arrives on Frannie's doorstep. And then there is eleven-year-old Max -Frannie's amazing discovery - and one of the most unforgettable creations in thriller fiction.

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS will not just thrill readers. It will make their imaginations soar.

QUICK read (just like the cover says) Evil mad scientists, murder, love and young people that fly like angels, what more can you ask for?

Wow, this book is bad. Awkward writing, doubly awkward romance, minimally believable scenario. Could someone explain to me why they didn't go to the press earlier? Or how killing a bunch of high-profile doctors is supposed to help the bad guys stay undercover?

Another excellent book by James Patterson. This book has a different twist than most of his suspense writings. Definately worth reading.

Taking a break from his phenomenally successful Alex Cross series, James Patterson's When the Wind Blows is as much child's fantasy as it is an adult nightmare. The novel moves away from the gritty Washington, D.C., setting of the Cross books and follows the daily life of Frannie O'Neill, a Colorado veterinarian. After the mysterious death of her husband several years before, Frannie retreated to an isolated life in her Colorado practice. But a series of bizarre events suddenly disrupts her lonely routine. On a personal level, she is shaken by her new tenant--Kit Harrison. Kit's too handsome and too friendly and he's a hunter (or so Frannie thinks). He's also recovering from a devastating personal tragedy, and, as Frannie eventually learns, he's really an FBI agent using his vacation to follow a crucial lead. But Kit isn't the one that's got Frannie concerned. As she says after stopping her Suburban one night to check out something on the side of the road: "What I saw was way beyond my abilities to imagine, beyond my comprehension, my system of belief, and maybe beyond my ability to communicate right now. The little girl's arms were folded back in a peculiar way, but when she lifted them--feathers fanned out." The girl is Max, and the mystery of her wings leads Frannie and Kit into a massive conspiracy involving secret genetic research and the scientific manipulation of the human species.

This is a good book. I think it's the beginning of the Maximum Rides.

I enjoyed this book, but it was not at all what I was expecting. Most of his books are not like this one. However it is still the great suspense and storytelling you expect from Patterson.

this book was a lot better than i imagined it would be. since i'm not really into all that sci-fi stuff and this is about kids with wings, i didn't think i would get into it. but i did. frannie must find a way to save the bird kids and overcome her life of lies.

This is a very interesting book. Difficult to put down. It is the first book of a series, I believe, of three books.
