Summary: This book got me hooked on Ken Follet!
Review: Not only did this book create a passion within me to read more of Follet (which I have! And I love his style!) but he also made me fall in love with the Boeing B-314 and revised B-314A which were ordered by Pan Am from Boeing in the 1930s. It's sad only 12 of them were build (six 314's and six 314A's) and that none exist to date. The story in the book reminds me of the movie Titanic in many ways. I'm going to read this book again *just because* of its simularities with Titanic, the movie. I'm no airplane nut. Thanks, Follet, now I not only have another favorite author...but I also have a favorite aircraft!

Summary: Mildly Boring
Review: OK, the author is generally so good that you are ready to forgive him for this one and move to the next better one.I found the book lacking in inspiration and missing the epic dimension one can find in Pillars of the Earth. Too bad.

Summary: Follett never ceases to amaze..
Review: Once again, Follett weaves an intricate tapestry using history as its background. He has an uncanny ability to use real settings in historical times as a backdrop for rich, entertaining characters.As with any follett book, the characters are what drives the story. This is a story of people who seemingly have nothing to do with each other. The reader will see, as the story progresses, that all the people in the book are tied together in ways they can't possibly imagine. Each character is beautifully written as are the various relationships that form throughout the book. And the ending! Talk about a page turner. I've read many of Follett's books and this one is definetly up there with A Dangerous Fortune. It might not be as majestic as Pillars of the Earth (my personal favorite Follett book and my favorite overall book that I've ever read to date), but it's just as entertaining.

Summary: Fine mystery with intrigue, action and suspense
Review: Tastes vary, but to me this is one of Ken Follett's best. As usual, a collection of colorful and realistic characters are assembled at a pivotal moment in history. As usual, Follett carefully aims them toward a collision. But in Night Over Water the characters are achingly real, and the beautifully crafted maze of sub-plots just have to coalesce. They are all on the same plane!
Night Over Water is one of the rare mysteries that merits reading more than once.

Summary: Should Have Been Written As NonFiction
Review: The author, Ken Follett, obviously researched "clippers", the passenger seaplanes that crossed the Atlantic just before the outbreak of World War II, very well. He also did a very good job of providing detailed and interesting information about them to his readers. However, a strained story line into which many misplaced sex scenes are injected just to keep the book going, along with very shallow and undeveloped characters greatly undermine the value of this book. As a nonfiction, it would have rated five stars, but as fiction, even three stars is a stretch.

Summary: I thought it would have been better
Review: The only other Follett book I've read was PILLARS, which i consider one of my favorite books ever, this one however doesn't even make the top 500. Here's why?
1)it read like a bad soap opera than a good thriller, people fall out of love then run into someone else and fall in love with them and so on.
2)I couldn't care less about the characters, the only one who was interesting was the thief, then that got ruined by this lovey/dovey soap opera junk too.
3) then ending was so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud. I found myself saying "Ya right" way too often and that is never good.
I did,though, finished it and at times some of the multiple stories do grab you but overall it's trash and I'll know one day I'll see a movie version of it on the lifetime channel.

Summary: A very well intertwined book
Review: This book is basically that of several stories all brought together on one huge airplane. The author (Ken Follett) manages to intertwine all of the individual stories superbly. How dothe rich daughter of a facist and a very lucky theif fall in love? Will the shoe insdusrialist beat her brother back to New York? Will she fall in love? To find the answers to theses and more, even greater mysteries read the book. It is deffinatly worth it!
Rating:
Summary: This book Rules!
Review: This book kicks! There is no other way to describe it. Follett's character development is precise, and his ability to tell a story is rivaled by no other. I was enthralled by the story from beginning to end. END
