The Lake House: Book Review
The Lake House
You talk, you die.
By James Patterson
The author, James Patterson, is a great writer that conjured up this novel. It is the second book of the series to When the Wind Blows. This man is most commonly known for his series of Alex Cross. Patterson wrote this book with a changing point of view. He mainly wrote it in third person but for many chapters, the story was in first person from Frannie O’ Neil’s point of view. The genre presented in this work is science fiction because of the children with wings. The main story line is that these beautiful children are created and they are now fighting to live with Kit and Frannie, the two people that helped them the most. The evil Dr. Ethan Kane, along with the biological parents, are struggling back to not let that happen. The main character and protagonist, Max, is a teenager who was able to escape the ‘School’ and she is doing all in her power to stay with the two people she loves the most and trusts, FBI agent Kit and Veterinary Dr. Frances O’ Neil. Max is a strong and independent girl that faces challenges which makes this story so inspiring to read. Although she’s different, she is able to show that she only needs to be herself and I enjoy that. The antagonist of this novel of the series is Dr. Ethan Kane, who is trying to manipulate the children. I take pleasure in reading the conflict that he tried to create by wanting to take the six bird-children. He was a great idea to stir things up. Many surprises and twists are brought up early in the story that don’t become present until the ending.
Even though the characters were exciting with their conflicts, I disliked how the story ended. I of course don’t want to give it away, but it ended very soon. The story was going on and on and it seems as soon as the climax hits, it plummeted to an abrupt end. Everything stopped, tragedy happened, and it was over.
This book is definitely a good one to read if you’re into the science fiction with the
