A book so crap I threw it across the room when I gratefully finished it.I don't remember the first one, When the Wind Blows, being this bad. If I had I wouldn't have read this, but I'd bought it cheap based on my like of Patterson's Alex Cross series. What is so bad about the Lake House?Let's start with the title. 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. The tagline on the cover 'Don't read it aloneA secret laboratory, euphemistically called The School, has been performing illegal genetic experiments on human embryos. Most of the experiments failed and resulted in gross abominations, but not all of them. Max, Ozimandius, Icharus, Matthew, Peter, and Wendy were created at The School. The D N A of the six children was combined with that of birds, resulting in completely viable half human half avian life forms. In other words, the children have wings, and all the other equipment necessary for
I'm gonna be honest, this wasn't that great of a book. But it is however incredibly interesting to see how this idea evolved into what we now know as the Maximum Ride series.
It seems that a lot of James Patterson's books are either hit or miss with me. This was another one that seemed too far-fetched for me. I got about halfway through it before I decided I wasn't going to bother wasting anymore time on it. It seemed pretty good from reading the synopsis of it, but then when I read it the synopsis was truthful and all but it left out a good deal of the real storyline, for example that the kids in the book are half human, half bird. It also states in the beginning of
I've never before read such a ridiculous, poorly crafted book with such blatant mistakes. There was bad writing and overblown language, but the huge problems with details in this book were impossible to ignore.Like the fact that Frannie tells this story as a narrator to an audience, except when there are perspective switches to characters who tell the story in more conventional third person. - And when there are riflemen shooting at the kids, and they shoot down a plane (with a regular rifle,
Yikes!Published in 2003 by Hatchette AudioRead by Hope Davis and Stephen Lang.Duration: 7 hours, 35 minutes. The Lake House is the story of six bird/human hybrids who are created as the result of genetic experiments. They all can fly and all have superhuman strength. This book is very poorly paced. Great chunks of action happen with shorthand writing and then Patterson spends nearly an hour of the 7 1/2 hour book describing two of the characters' first sexual experiences. The Lake House skips
The two big mistakes because of which this book came to my possession were: One the Movie Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, I assumed was based on this book. Two I wanted to get a taste of much acclaimed Mr Patterson :). I guess one (disastrous) book is good enough to give me enough of idea of this man's talent and I have decided to keep away from anything else from him in any near future. Anyways I had picked it up to be used as a filler but 400 pages of sheer pain was something
