I know, I know, I've been lacking in posts. A lot has happened in the last two weeks and I honestly haven't picked up a book since I read Alterant. So here's another instalment for my Bakers Dozen Series! Enjoy!
When the Wind Blows by James Patterson
This is one of those books that has stuck with me because it was different. This was one of many books that my former boss at the book store, Kristi, told me that I had to read. If you have read any of Patterson's previous book (i.e. Alex Cross novels) this one is different and dabbles in the science fiction realm.
The plot of this story is where the lead character Frannie Devin O'Neill and FBI agent Kit Harrison, then come into contact with Max a girl who was taken from birth by her parents (who believe that she was stillborn) because of her special abilities. The scientist performed experiments on her and several others when they were in the womb by fusing their DNA with bird DNA hoping to extend the life of people. The children are at this school and are treated very cruelly, being prepped to be sold to major corporations. Max escapes and recruits the help of Frannie and Kit.
The book is packed with action and many plot twists. The story is easy to follow though so there is no need to worry about getting lost. This was one of the books that kind of renewed my interested in reading, I had hit a dry spot and found myself constantly reading the same genre so this book was a breath of fresh air for me. I had read a few of James Patterson's books prior to this so I was familiar to his writing style.
This book is one of my favorites because I was drawn in by the unique plot, while I'm sure there are other books that are like this out there, this was the first one that I read so it will always have a place in my head.
