Hornet Flight

Summary: Interesting but long drawn
Review: This novel, set in early WWII(1941), is about the development of radar by the Nazis. It tells the story of how a handful of Danes (-part of a resistance/espionage movement) work in collaboration with the British war office to thwart the Nazi plan for European (and worldwide) air supremacy. Although I love Ken Follett's style and his previous books (Third twin etc.), I found this book to be a really long read. At over 500 pages, this needs a lot of free time!! Also, unlike his other novels which are usually 'unputdownable', this really needed frequent breaks because the plot is sometimes tedious. I have nearly lost interest a couple of times. (For the record, I love the WWII fiction genre!!) Nevertheless, it's a good read if you can stay with the story (and the 518 page whopper of a book!)
