When the Wind Blows is as unique a story as has ever been told, filled with suspense and passion.
Frannie O'Neill is a young and talented veterinarian living in Colorado. Plagued by the mysterious murder of her husband, David, a local doctor, Frannie throws herself into her work. It is not long before another bizarre murder occurs and Kit Harrison, a troubled and unconventional FBI agent, arrives on her doorstep.
Late one night, near the woods of her animal hospital, Frannie stumbles upon a strange, astonishing phenomenon that will change the course of her life for ever.... Her name is Max.
With breathtaking energy, eleven-year-old Max leads Frannie and Kit to uncover one of the most diabolical and inhuman plots of modern science.

After reading all the mixed reviews of this book I almost gave it a miss. But now I'm glad I didn't as with all Patterson's novels it's a fast flowing gripping story which I couldn't put down. I fully recommended this book to anyone one, it shows James Patterson is not stuck writing about serial killers.

This was the first Patterson book I had read and has been one of the most interesting reads I've had this year.
I absolutely loved it, it kept me on my toes and I found with the short chapters it became easier to read as some books seem to drag on with long chapters. It also enables Patterson to change scenes quickly and cleanly.
I feel it is well worth a place on anyones book shelf.

Format:Paperback
Although many people say that reading a book you can't put down is a sign of a good read, I encountered a new experience with this book: I kept having to put it down, to prolong the tension, plot and action. This is possibly one of my favourite books of all time and I read A LOT! I loved the science fiction/fact plot that kept you on your toes and hanging on every word. I loved the characters and their various relationships which I felt were well-developed and 'deep', especially the adult/child relationships that Patterson creates so well between Max and others. I loved everything about it. With hindsight, I can see that perhaps the ending was a little conventional but the thought did not cross my mind as I was reading it. The final words I can give are read it and prepare for an experience.

I think my review title says it all. The writing is pretty bad, the characterisation is hackneyed, simplistic and stereotypical, and on top of all that, the book is also quite... Read more

Suspense at its best.
This was the first Patterson book I read. Okay, the chapters are characteristically short and shocking, and the language and literature is not Dickens, by far. Read more
