The Lake House

Product Information

The protagonists spent their time between the last book and this one in the Lake House, and only visit during the epilogue in this book. He is the creator of unforgettable characters and series, including Alex Cross, the Women’s Murder Club, Jane Effing Smith, and Maximum Ride, and of breathtaking true stories about the Kennedys, John Lennon, and Princess Diana, as well as our military heroes, police officers, and ER nurses. but again may be that is what these days people like to read in the name of racy futuristic thrillers, no ways he is my cup of tea. The kids really display the characteristics and behavior of birds and it was interesting to see how Patterson integrated the two halves of their nature.

She knows that if anyone finds out about her knowledge of the project, she will be hunted down and killed. This book is in no way related to his similarly entitled "Beach House", but that just might be the best place to read it! And so, when a reporter comes around Max’s house asking about The Resurrection Project, she is terrified. The sequel to When The Wind Blows, widens and broadens out the adventures of the flying kids, the FBI agent and the veterinarian in The Rockies. I feel like here he just came up with a plot, went to a third grade classroom, told them the plot and let them each come up with a sentence until the story was finished.This is a terrible book and shouldn't be read by anyone except in possibly a Mystery Science Theatre kind of appreciation for the kind of entertainment that is so bad it's funny. I didn’t like his narration at all in that audiobook, and I think I described his reading as “wooden.

How the bad guys were so totally overcome near the end is conveniently glossed over, leaving us to feel a little hoodwinked as we came down the final stretch. The Lake House is an adult science fiction thriller by James Patterson, part of a duology following from When the Wind Blows.Visually too the entire book is so weak that I had a sad time imagining the teenage kids with ten feet of wings flying out in open, some times to have fun and at times to save each other from the bad men. Having been rescued from the genetics lab, the six young clones, half-bird, half-person, are ready for an even rougher battle with a justice system that pits their rescuers—FBI cowboy Thomas Brennan, a. Ethan Kane, who takes an interest in the six bird-children for what they can add to his "resurrection" feats. If you add a little medical and surgical insight from Patricia Cromwell your literary meal is complete. Exactly how his prey—Max and Matthew, older teenagers Ozymandias and Icarus, and four-year-old twins Peter and Wendy—fit into Kane’s nefarious, grandiose schemes is no more clear than why anybody hasn’t made inquiries about the hundreds of earlier victims he’s lured into his den at the Hauer Institute.

The flock distracts the planes trying to take off with the patients, causing one of the planes to crash and explode. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. Only Max, the most remarkable of the winged children, knows that another, terrifying biological experiment is taking place in the labs of a brilliant but evil surgeon, Dr Ethan Kane. I read some of the other reviews after I wrote mine and was horrified to find out that this is only one of a series of books about these bird-people. So - a reworked fantasy plot, and a weak tail-end are offset by an entertaining, fast-paced book in the Patterson style; so on balance, average.Anyways I had picked it up to be used as a filler but 400 pages of sheer pain was something that now I need a book which should bail me out of what this one has given me :). After the fight, Max finally admits what’s going on: during the experiments at the School, she learned of an even worse facility known as the Hospital, and knowing this secret puts all their lives in danger. I liked the narrator for the audiobook and I feel like I got a better feel for Max and the flock rather than them just being characters that are just there.

He shows her the donors waiting for harvesting, all hooked up to machines showing them vivid dreams. What was the purpose and how is he going to use his invention is something excited me initially and there has to be good people too who are to come to the rescue of these innocent kids. He wants the children who he envisions as the next step up in the evolutionary ladder and he'll use any means at his disposal to get them.When I chose this book for a quick pre-vacation read I was not expecting the "supernatural" and was really in the mood for a typical mystery Patterson novel. THE LAKE HOUSE, is a fascinating thriller starring six unusual children whom capture the hearts of the audience as they try to make a place for themselves in this BRAVE NEW WORLD. In the hospital, faceless people are murdered and dissected and their organs are taken and used for the "Resurrection" of rich and famous people such as former presidents and prime ministers. Ethan has matched the DNA of birds with man-kind and has created half a dozen bird kids in some hospital right under the nose of white house :).
