Third Twin

Rating:
Summary: Interesting....may be better on TV
Review: It is an interesting book, on the whole. Fun reading, though a tad confusing and maybe too fantastic to be credited. It would look great on screen. Who knows, maybe an idea to consider?

Rating:
Summary: Delightfully Entertaining and with a hint of murder.
Review: This book is quite entertaining. There is a sophisticated twist of murder in the plot. I read a condensed form of the book, and it was great. The plot needed a little bit more suspense, but overall, it was indeed a facinating story.

Summary: SUSPENSEFUL and ENTERTAINING
Review: Recently, a friend of mine lent me her copy of Follett's "Pillars of the Earth." It was basically a good read, although I had to struggle to keep my attention focused through much of the political/religious stuff. When "Third Twin" came out, I decided to check it out. I couldn't believe it was written by the same author! "Twin" was so much faster, more enjoyable, and less bogged down than "Pillars". While I will admit that the characters and the plot were not quite as fully developed, I believe that adds to the charm of the book. I don't know about the rest of you, but after a long day at school and work, the last thing I want to do is read twenty pages about the ongoing angst between a priest and a monk. I read for entertainment, and "Third Twin" was pure entertainment. I liked it so much that I am lending it back to the friend who first tuned me in to Follett.

Summary: ok, not Follett's best
Review: While this was a letdown compared to Pillars of the Earth, it was still exiting and fastpace compared to a Grisham book.

Summary: Follett fouls out with "The Third Twin"
Review: As an avid reader of adventure and mystery, Ken Follett has written some of my favorite books - but this one disappoints in a big way. The character of Jeannie Ferrami was one of the worst portraits of a smart woman I have encountered EVER! The plot was completely ludicrous - the writing amateurish and the characters cardboard. Mr. Follett - has someone cloned you...but forgot to add the writing gene? This book cannot be written by the same man who wrote "The key to Rebecca" or "The eye of the needle".

Summary: EXCELLENT, Couldn't put it down!
Review: This is the first book I have read written by Ken Follett. I was vacationing in Norway, and it was number one on the list there so I thought I would try it! I could not put it down. It kept my attention throughout! It is a novel of numerous twists, turns and surprises. One that I could not put down--and one that I have recommended to others. They enjoyed it just as much as I did! Superb!

Summary: Novels like this make me yearn for television
Review: I recently read this book and was convinced that I will never read another "best seller" without researching a few reviews. I had enjoyed this author's previous work "Pillars of the Earth" but I can hardly believe he put his name to this title. The plot is nearly comatose and the characters totally unbelievable. The author tries to write from a woman's point of view but seems to demonstrate his fixation with womens garments and sex fantasies. The author I think was trying to cash in on the science-thriller genre but his novel displays little serious research into the subject of cloning. Save your money and rent a B-movie and you will bet more satisfaction

Summary: Ken is folleting on his face
Review: I checked the book out at the library. Suggest the library look for a refund. Has Mr. Follet joined Dean Koontz? Crank 'em out with no thought other than $$$$. A major disappointment.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I've read a lot of books, good and bad, and this is one of them. Mr. Follett should take his money and run. Because I hate to leave a book unfinished once started, I won't burden myself with starting any new efforts by him

Rating:
Summary: A quick, easy read...
Review: Not the best I've read lately, but not the worst. It's good in-transit reading... holds your attention while on the train or a plane, but you can put it down between trips. Reads like it's on it's way to becoming a screenplay, which is now is: look for it later this television seaso
