The fact that book one hit number one on the NYT best seller list means to me that the author did something right, because a whole lot of people are enjoying it enough to buy it and probably tell their friends to buy it, too. I feel like I learned a lot from these books as a writer. This review is for books 1 and 2 in this series. It was just kind of average, and I could have gone without reading it, but if you enjoyed the first book, you’ll most likely enjoy this book as well. I know they’re young, but under their current circumstances-being chased relentlessly by evil people, living on the streets, eating out of garbage cans, fighting for their lives-I would think they’d have matured a bit over the years, but they haven’t. The book could have easily been half the size, and it would have been better. There is very little description, and there is so much useless filler in not only this book, but the rest of the series, and the rest of JP’s books. James Patterson has the simplest writing style I’ve ever come across in all of the books I’ve read, and it really annoys me. There is so much useless filler in this series it isn’t even funny it’s just a waste of paper. Then they find a new home and they spend the rest of the book trying to settle in and they go to school. It seemed like it was mostly following the flock while on the run as they dodge random eraser attacks that are never explained. There didn’t seem to be much of one in this book. I liked that his parents saw him as a freak and as a way to make some money, and I found that to be very believable. It seemed real and not the cheesy expected fairytale ending that I was expecting James Patterson to write. I liked the development with Iggy and his family. I also liked her little jealous streak when Fang got kissed by Lissa, and I liked Fang’s equal amount of jealousy towards Sam. She got some pretty good character development in this book, and I enjoyed her exploring her more “feminine” side, and I especially liked her date with Sam.
