Hello, I have read this book and I am quite disappointed. True, it is quite interesting and somewhat a departure for the author, but it just doesn't "grab" you like his other books. Basically, the book is about a scientific experiment conducted that has left two children with wings. A manhunt is conducted in order to "put these two children to sleep" and somehow, a vet (who is also dealing with her own personal tragedy) stumbles upon this whole issue as well. My personal opinion is that the author tries too hard to grab the attention of the reader, at the expense of the plot. It is not a bad book, just something which falls way short of expectations. I would still recommend "Kiss the girls" as the best book by the author and would rather give "When the wind blows" a miss.
