    <body><![CDATA[I thought I could use a mindless thriller and picked up this book on a used bookshelf in Koh Tao, Thailand. But I really thought this book was terrible. I thought James Patterson was a better writer than this, but I can't say I've read other books of his before, maybe it was just name recognition.

    <body><![CDATA[The concept and characters have great potential, but I feel that the author failed them.  The first book left me wondering what would happen to the children as they tried to assimilate into society.  The sequel was a shallow regurgitation of the first.  There were no new revelations, no new territor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49968059">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a very interesting book, quite different from anything I've read before.  However, I was sucked in from the start just because it was so different and I really ended up enjoying it.  It was very futuristic which was really neat, however I was shocked at how the children acted at points.  I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40516588">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Did not like this book at all. The story was weak and predictable. The story line involves 5 kids.... kids, all under the age of 12. The author attempts to explain away the sexual encounters of the characters with their &quot;special&quot; abilities making them older than 12. They are still 12. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53245810">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was pretty good, but was a bit of letdown after the thriller of When the Wind Blows. When I was 3/4 through the book, I was puzzled at how Patterson wrapped up things pretty quick, just when the action was starting. The language was more simplistic, it was almost like he was struggling to decide ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68856624">more...</a>]]></body>
