"A real page turner! I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end. Far Fetched but believable. Excellent...loved the characters."

"A truly riveting story - I could not put it down. Fast paced and deeply enthralling. I want more about the kids - do they live to adulthood? What are their lives like? Please Mr. Patterson, write more about them."

"Trapped and claustrophobic in traffic, in hot August, I cooled off in Colorado. Wonder of it! Careening down a mountain without breaks and loving it! James Patterson wastes no time endearing us to his characters. Odds against them! They are intelligent, moral and full of TLC. We hope, even pray, that they will survive. Patterson is a writer for our time!"

"One of Patterson's best. I couldn't put this book down."

"I was absolutely riveted by this book from the moment I opened the cover. What a marvelous novel. I couldn't put it down. It is seldom to never that a book engrosses my attention in the way WHEN THE WIND BLOWS did. I applaud the writer and look forward to reading his other works."

"Excellent read! Very fast paced and exciting. An unusual concept, but well written and almost believable. Science and technology is one of the scariest subject to write about. Patterson has done a tremendous job!"

"Good read. Not as intense as some of his others. I liked his foray into genetic engineering."

"I loved this book! I am a big James Patterson fan, and this is his best book. He out-Crichtons Michael Crichton. I will recommend this to everyone I know."

"A scary book that makes you wonder if this is actually going on in some secret labs. I couldn't put it down and the end brought tears. No problem recommending this book to customers. Thank you."

"A must-read for everyone! I wanted to be there and experiencing this wonder for myself. Thanks James Patterson for the thrill."

"The book was so good! The action and quickness kept me reading long into the night. The characters were vivid and the story mind blowing. I really, really enjoyed the book."

"Absolutely wonderful story and great characters. Max is a strong and unique character, for a teenager she comes off much older and logical than her 'normal' contemporaries. Definitely a return to Patterson's gripping style and sure to be a bestseller."

"Deals with abuses of biotechnology in all unpretentious, light hearted, witty, yet provocative tone. Reads quickly and compellingly, with a coherent time sequence and easily recognizable narrative voice. Charming characters - a winner!"

"Very entertaining. The book was so well written in all aspects, but I especially enjoyed how visual it was. I enjoy all of Patterson's books. This one is a great thriller!"

"Don't know how he does it, but Patterson's books are consistently entertaining. The pages just fly right by."

"Easy reading. Similar to Dean Koontz and Michael Crichton."

"I thought this book was fantastic. I read it in one sitting. It was suspenseful, intriguing, and also very emotional at times. As a student of biology, I found the scientific concepts to be very interesting and thought provoking. I would highly recommend this novel."

"Good plot! Strong female characters! I read the book in one sitting. I could hardly put it down long enough to serve myself dinner. The thought of genetic experiments going on in the mountains near me give me the shivers!"

"'When The Wind Blows' was excellent! This is most certain to be a hit - I will sell it with excitement to all my customers! Thanks for my advance copy, I loved it."

"A welcome and surprising change by this author. An exciting mix of science fiction and adventure espionage, this author continually entertains with page turning enthusiasm. Both my husband and I loved it."

"Fast-paced, riveting, impossible to put down! The concept was all the more frightening because of recent reports of genetic work on mice. It makes you wonder what else is going on! Frannie, Kit and Max are well-drawn and likable. 'Uncle' Thomas was equally well-drawn, but hateable!"

"This is one of James Patterson's best. I have read them all. The subject was one that is very special to me and the characters were well drawn. I loved this book."

"An extremely well-written story of generic engineering, and how it can create the most beautiful and awe-inspiring things, and the most tragic and horrible things."

"I couldn't put this book down - it was very entertaining and I certainly will recommend it to my customers! He has succeeded in yet another blockbuster bestseller."

"One of Patterson's best works. Spellbinding from the start. I just cannot get enough!"

"James Patterson's 'When The Wind Blows' was a real page turner. I couldn't put it down. I must admit, though, if I hadn't known who the author was I would have guessed Koontz with a touch of Stephen King."

"The best! I'm such a James Patterson fan! 'When The Wind Blows' is really his best. I couldn't wait to get back to this novel and hope they can figure out how to make a movie of it. I'm already pushing it to my customers and they don't wait!"

"When I read that Alex Cross was not going to be in this book I almost didn't read it. But I really liked this - the magic and wonder of the winged children make this a modern fairy tale."

"I thought 'When The Wind Blows' was a fascinating page-turner. I couldn't put it down - read it in one sitting. It was suspenseful and emotional - as a student of biology, I found the scientific aspect of the novel to be especially interesting and intriguing. I highly recommend this book."

"I loved this book. It was actually believable and the characters were well developed. An excellent read that gets you thinking."

"This is certainly not the James Patterson we all know and love. This is not a psycho thriller, Alex Cross 'Psyche 'em out' find the killer kind of story. It is an incredible, sci-fi (genetic engineering), beautiful and thrilling story, and yes, call me sappy, I cried at the end."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I kept wanting to read 'just one more chapter' I especially liked the way the characters developed. It was a great book."

"Fast paced, compelling, couldn't put it down. I still like the Alex Cross books best, but Frannie and Max sure put up a good fight against the bad guys."

"Like John D. MacDonald, James Patterson possesses the rare ability to step away from a successful detective series and write a brilliant stand alone book. 'When The Wind Blows' will entirely satisfy the multitude of Patterson fans."

"Fascinating! I couldn't put the book down. Yet, the actuality of such experiments becoming a reality is quite frightening to me."

"A thriller if you think of science experimentation gone greedy - success, money, power. A magical tale if you look beyond the painful using of human beings for test subjects."

"James Patterson's 'When The Wind Blows' was a fascinating and page-turning read. He makes you believe that this book is reality. I can't wait for his next adventure."

"A good read with a solid story line and plot progression that keeps the pages turning. Plot twists kept me reading and I finished the book in two days!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed 'When The Wind Blows.' I kept wanting to read Ôjust one more chapter.' I especially liked the way the characters developed in their relationships with one another. It was a great book!"

"I enjoyed this book. It makes you wonder what really goes on within our government and the medical field."

"A Great Read!!! Very Fast Moving!! Will be easy to sell to non-Patterson fans!! A great female lead character!! Loved it!!"

"This is an absolutely riveting novel! I expected Patterson's usual brilliance at suspense and got that and more! From the very first chapter I was blown away and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."

"A provocative and original story. John Grisham's "The Client" meets a novel Stephen King has not written yet! I pulled an all nighter reading 'When The Wind Blows' because I couldn't put it down!"

"Absolutely wonderful. James Patterson knows how to keep you up late at night! I was worried when I realized it was not an Alex Cross story, however, I found myself totally lost in the story by the end of the first chapter."

"This book was incredibly credible. It was disturbing in a fascinating, X-Files sort of way. I enjoyed this frightening, fast-past novel immensely."

"Disney doesn't have a fantasy thrill ride that can compare with this novel! I was breathing normally when I started on page one, but I was out of breath by the last page - people are going to love this one!"

"Truthfully, I wasn't sure when I started to read this how I was going to like it. But, as I went along, I was captivated. I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day - I just had to find out what happened next. I really liked 'When The Wind Blows' and would recommend it."

"James Patterson is absolutely brilliant! His mind is like a treasure trove - unlimited. 'When The Wind Blows' is probably his best work yet outside of this Alex Cross series. It is frighteningly realistic."

"Having never read anything else by James Patterson, I could not compare, but I really enjoyed 'When The Wind Blows'. I could not put it down. It was however, very X-File-ish. But being an EX -File fan, I really enjoyed it."

"He has done it again. One of my favorite authors. What a story. Was going to read it before I went to bed. Couldn't put it down. Finished it in one sitting. Dynamite. What a plot. Words don't do it justice for the pleasure and excitement for the book."

"An amazing story!! What appears to be a far out story becomes very believable and real and helps raise some issues that could be tomorrow's headlines. A book I will recommend to many! James Patterson just keeps getting better!!"

"Thank you Mr. Patterson - I've been starving for a book I couldn't put down! Didn't think he could out-do 'Cat & Mouse'. Putting Frannie O'Neil's character in the first person is an attribute that makes Patterson's style unique - and one of the best."

"Given this at work early A.M., I had to wait 'til lunch to open it. I think I forgot to eat I know I was late back and was on pins to finish the day - I read the rest before bed - very different premise from his others - but as good a read as ever . Wonderful movie materials - I can't wait to sell this --- I hope this man never stops writing!"

"Love all of James Patterson's books. I wasn't sure about the genre; but I couldn't put this book down, read it all night! He's done it again."

"Reads like a modern day Dr, Frankenstein lab report. Bone chilling, mind numbing, and utterly plausible - hopefully not possible. A fantastic read. - Patterson's best to date."

"James Patterson has again crafted a roller coaster of a book. You finish each chapter and race to the next."

"This book was great - I flew through it in two days! The opening really pulled me into the story and it just got more and more sinister until I got to the end."

"James Patterson's latest is an exciting blend of the possible with the (seemingly) impossible. I couldn't stop reading it! His best yet in my opinion!"

"Very intriguing - hooked me form the first chapter. I've read everyone of Patterson's books."

"This is so unlike Patterson's other work, which I love, I could hardly believe it. In less gifted hands, the plot would be so hokey and entirely too far-fetched but Patterson makes it believable and compelling through his masterful sense of character and timings. Well done."

"What a wonderful imaginative book. I was turned off by KISS THE GIRLS...but 'When The Wind Blows' caught me in the first chapter and carried me through to the end. A great read!!"

"Well, GREAT. This is the first James Patterson novel I have read. He's now a 'must read' so I have to get all his other books now. What a fabulous story unforgettable."

"James Patterson puts the hook in faster than Ted Williams catching a record fish. Anyone who reads the first chapter and does not continue must be comotose."
