Publisher's summary

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 forever....

Her name is Max.

With breathtaking energy, 11-year-old Max leads Frannie and Kit to uncover one of the most diabolical and inhuman plots of modern science. When the Wind Blows is as unique a story as has ever been told, filled with suspense and passion.

I really REALLY wanted to like this book

I love the setup and the first half of the book is enjoyable then it just takes a nosedive (flying joke). The plot loses all cohesiveness and the actions and dialogue of the characters rip through any suspension of disbelief the reader still has. In a sick attempt to give the book a serious tone, the author has the characters discover scenes of hideous cruelty climaxing in the discovery of mutilated infants left to die. These have no impact on the plot, as the characters pretty much ignore them and leave.

Enjoyed the story and narrator's voice was very relaxing. although story was long, chapters were short. Made the time pass quickly.

A well done futuristic thriller.

Very much enjoyed the book. Interesting story, enough people to love and enough to hate. Good book.

Fantastic

Gets your attention from beginning and keeps it until the very end. Best one so far. It’s difficult to keep a listener on track. This one has no problem. Excellent narration.

A surprise

This was absolutely not what I expect when I pick up a James Patterson mystery to read. Parts of it were not developed deeply enough for the sci fi bug in me, but it was basically pleasant.

Flying children.

The story was interesting. It tied the characters together and explained there interactions. I like the way Patterson tells a story.

When The Wind Blows by James Patterson

I have been wanting this book for years! Sooo glad I was able to get it on Audible Books! I saw the movie and had read a digital copy of one of these books and wanted every book in this series! The Maximum Ride series starts here with When The Wind Blows. Thank you James Patterson & Audible Books to allow Audible to have your books available to all your fans! Can’t wait to get the rest of this series on here!

Interesting plot. Not what I expected.

Not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. I would have never have guessed that this was a James Patterson book.
