When the Wind Blows by James Patterson (1999, Paperback, Reissue)

This book was the first part to a very popular James Patterson book called The Lake House. (not the same as the movie). It was about a deeply secretive organization experimenting with the possibility of combining the DNA of people and birds. This was actually the first James Patterson book I've read. I enjoyed it more after the first 50-100 pages as the beginning seemed to move a little slow. It became exciting and suspenseful though and I was happy to know there was sequel waiting to be read. I am told this type of genre is not James Patterson's usual writing style and I think he did a good job. He's not Stephen King, but then there's only one Stephen King.
