The only time they've ever felt safe was when they were together in the waterfront cabin they call the Lake House. And the only people they've ever trusted are Frannie and Kit, the couple who rescued them from unimaginable evil once before.

When that evil resurfaces, the kids reconnect with Frannie and Kit and set off on an astonishing adventure. They flee to the Lake House, but even that haven may no longer be safe.

Dr. Ethan Kane is chief of surgery at Liberty Hospital, one of the most esteemed hospitals in the nation. It is here that terrible secrets lie, secrets that will change the world for all of us.

skip this one

I like James Patterson, but this story never sparked my interest. The reader is poor, the story line worse.

The Lake House, by James Patterson

Stupid, inane, ridiculous. An embarrassing effort for an otherwise good writer. Do not order this one . . . you'll regret the wasted credit. The dialogue is beyond awful. I would have given it a negative rating if it were an option.

The Lake House

I am not one to write reviews, but feel compelled to do so in this case. I wish that I had read the first review of this book prior to ordering. It is, in fact, a waste of a credit. I like James Patterson and can hardly believe he wrote this story. The plot is ridiculous, the characters are flat, and the events are completely predictable. I had a difficult time listening to the entire book. Do not waste your time with this one.

Don't be fooled by the poor ratings on this book.

I actually enjoyed this book. But then, I had read it as the sequel to When the Wind Blows as it was intended. In the first book you are gradually introduced to the characters and become endeered to them, especially Max. I can imagine that I would have been very disapointed with this book if I had not read When the Wind Blows first, as The Lake House does start off slowly, and lacks the upfront character development to emerse the reader from the start. I rate this book pretty well because I was already emersed and had loved the first book.

7 Hours of Your Life You'll Never Get Back

James Patterson's books are generally predictable, but still entertaining & worth listening to (or reading), but this is absolutely ghastly. I'm probably more willing than most to get into a book & "believe" what's going on (One of my favorite book series is Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, set in present-day St Louis!) - but so much of what Patterson has happening in here is totally not "believable". Don't waste your time and money on this one.
