This is the third book by James Patterson I have read and the best. It is listed for teens, but I am 61 and I loved it. I am glad he has several follow-up books and I am reading them all. The romance was not sickening, but a great touch. The bird children are wonderful and so real to me. Patterson has a vivid imagination and makes it so believable. Frightenly believable. Great book.

A real heart felt book. Not only does Patterson give you his usual suspense and thrills but he also hands you the romance and heartache of a love story. He out did himself one more time.
