The master story teller strikes again. With just a plane crossing the Atlantic in 1939 as his place, he manages to successfully create a compelling tale which I couldnt put down. All I question is the free sex that went on in this book. My mothers era, I dont believe many had sex without marriage as this book portrays. The twists and turns were riveting.
Did not like this book at all. Felt so much time was spent describing sexual indiscretions that the characters weren't fully developed. Also found female characters in this time period unrealistically feeble, written more like men would want them to be, but probably not how they are. Plot was thorough, but a little far fetched. Felt like this was a fantasy rather than a real story. However, he obviously did his research and was very thorough with descriptions of the plane, etc. so I had to give
When I started Night Over Water I wasn't really sure what to expect other than another book about the WWII. So, I was completely surprised to love it almost from the beginning. One of the reasons was because this book reminds soooo much of the Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (that by now you should know I absolutely loooove) - well, the parts that narrate the passengers on the Clipper with no way out reminds me of Christie's novel. The atmosphere is the same, the tension, the
I always enjoy reading Ken's books.However, I have to admit that this book is not as spectacular as his other books. The plot is set at the out break of World War II between England and Germany on a flying boat " The Pan American Clipper". For those who's interested in aircraft or engineering, might find this book interesting, because Follet did excellent research on the Clipper.For those who is not, the story might seem a bit slow in the beginning, because he starts the book with different
Entertaining Despite a Pretty Far-Fetched Plot I enjoyed the description of what transatlantic flight was like aboard the huge and luxurious Pan Am Clippers in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The plot was ridiculously far-fetched, but I nevertheless kept turning the pages to see how the story turned out, and I did like the way it ended. There are several graphic lovemaking passages which would likely cause an immediate cardiac arrest if any of the nuns who taught me at St. Agnes School knew I
This was an exciting story with a great plot. Follett takes his time to develop the characters in such a way that before long you feel you know them intimately. Some you like...some you dispise. Some surprise you in the end.I would give this book 4 stars easily, except that Follett, like so many authors, decided he needed to include several instances of sexual rendezvous, all of which, in my humble opinion, were really unnessarily explicit, which added nothing to the story but was just written
