The Lake House

Product Information

I started reading the book, thought to myself that I didn't like the writing style, got about 100 pages in (struggling to stay with it) and then actually checked to see who the author was. And when recent IQ tests are mentioned that were apparently administered when a client was unconscious? 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. Your payment method will be charged immediately, and the product is expected to ship on or around June 9, 2003. And the only people they've ever trusted are Frannie and Kit, the couple who rescued them from unimaginable evil once before.

He is the author of some of the most popular series of the past two decades - the Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club, Detective Michael Bennett and Private novels - and he has written many other number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand-alone thrillers. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe James Patterson just isn't for me, but that breaks my heart a little bit because I have such great memories of reading the Maximum Ride series when I was younger. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.It still flips between 1st person in Franny's POV and third person for everything else, which really just kept throwing me out of the story.

The judge rules that the children will remain with their biological parents for now, but there will be a later hearing to revisit the subject and reevaluate whether the flock is thriving. After a visit from one of the reporters, it is revealed that Max knows about the hospital from working at the School, but was trained not to talk about it on the threat of death.

As I began the first chapter of this book it was quite apparent this was not a typical Patterson read. Yet another example of the James Patterson starting with a great idea, and then putting out a weak follow up to generate money. But there’s no doubt that sooner or later the evil Kane will have his quarry caged, now in the company of the beloved protectors on whom they’ve imprinted for life, and will be crowing over them as he contemplates his plans for what amounts to world domination. 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. Frannie O'Neil, a Colorado veterinarian, knows a terrible secret that will change the history of the world.

Lang mostly read the parts involving Doctor Kane, and he matched the arrogant tone of the character rather well. But it does have sci fi/fantasy elements in it, the mad science appeal of Robin Cook's Mutation and horror elements a tiny bit of Dean Koontz. The Lake House is a direct continuation of James Patterson’s When the Wind Blows, so hopefully you read that audiobook first.On one page, the characters are preparing to escape their confinement, on the next, everything is over. Ethan Kane of the mysterious “Hospital” works on the Resurrection Project, murdering people to harvest their organs for rich and famous patients.
