" Fast-paced easy reading... Sci-fi stories aren't usually something I pick up, but to fill some time this happened to be available. Flying kids and crazy doctor clones killing people made for an imaginative plot but felt pretty far-fetched, even if some of the science does exist. This is my first James Patterson novel and the writing was pretty unimpressive for such a famous name. The dialogue didn't feel believable at all, though the sentiment was there behind it. Definitely wouldn't pick it up again, but as I said, it was an easy, engaging, fast read to kill some time. "

" I read Maximum Ride first, his teen novel based on this book and When the Wind Blows. So I was eager to read these books, and I wasn't disappointed. The modifications to the children to make them fly are slightly different, so you can see how the author developed his ideas. A great idea, well executed. "

" This is the first James Patterson I've read. Are all his books this badly written? I gave it a 3 because the story was interesting enough but the writing seems to cater to the (not so literary) masses and gets a 2. "
