Summary: A flaw now and then but still deserving of praise
Review: I think reviewing a novel is best achieved by comparing it to others that most of us have read, so prospective readers have something to measure it against. So I would say that The Pilot's Wife by could be best described as a spellbinding novel of suspense, it features a pilot/wife dilemma and a relentless pace and stunning plot similar to The Triumph and the Glory, the vivid imagery of Cold Mountain, and the style and flavor of Oprah's book club's best.

Summary: Anita Shreve is a brilliant writer!
Review: I loved this book! It was suspensful yet not predictable. It wasn't at all hard to get into..I found it very hard to put down. Thanks Oprah! After reading Where the Heart is I had to try another Oprah book, and after reading this I am sure I will read many more!

Summary: The Pilots Wife Reviewed
Review: Anita Shreve's novel "The Pilots Wife" was an excellent novel, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and although it was predictable, it almost had me in tears the whole way through. It is very touching and makes me wonder what would happen if something similar were to happen to me. Shreve tells the story in a very delicate way, yet manages to evoke so much of the reader's emotion that they just want to put their arms around the main character. Wonderful!

Summary: Extremely disappointing novel
Review: After reading I Know This Much is True, by Wally Lamb, I was eager to try another of Oprah's selections. The Pilot's Wife had an intriguing premise... Unfortunately, I found the characters to be shallow and one-dimensional, and found the story extremely predictable. Relationships between the characters were unrealistic, and the main character was an unflattering example of today's average married woman; if I was supposed to empathize with her, I couldn't... her clinginess and emotional dependence probably contributed greatly to her husband's desire to get away.

Summary: Same Old Story
Review: The outcome of the plot was predictable and I found that I cared little for all of the characters. You were not able to enjoy and of the twists or emotions because I didn't care what happended to any of them.

Summary: Awful Read
Review: This is the first book I have read in years that I could not even bear to finish. I felt like it had to pick up after the first 100 pages, but never did. Maybe the ending made it all worthwhile, but I couldn't even bear to read that far! Let me know if I missed anything!

Summary: Good start, poor middle, dreadful end
Review: Whilst the initial element of suspense and touch of the unknown lead you to fly through the first 40-50 pages, disappointment rapidly sets in with the typical Danielle Steele love element and the truly awful Irish connection all adding up to a poor TV drama. The charactors (approx 4 main) are dull and listless. Even the main female lead is of a personality that makes you almost sympathise with the husband. The daughter - if only she'd been on the plane, and the grandmother - what was her name? Perhaps if you're looking for a truly featherweight read and you can't get your hands on a Harry Potter...

Summary: Gut Wrenching but Impossible To Put Down
Review: Anita Shreve is an artist when it comes to writing novels. This was the first book of Anita's that I read and after finishing it I ran out bought every single book she has writen.Not than I am a big fan of Oprah but she certainly does pick great books. This was one of the most paralyzing books I have ever read. It made me truly appreciate my husband and the importance of marriage. This books takes you to places that are unimaginable but still the reader can't put the book down. While the subject matter may be difficult for some it is really an amazing novel and worth reading.

Summary: THe Pilot's Wife
Review: I rarely write reviews on Amazon, but I feel I must in this case. This must be one of the most overrated novels of the century. It's predictable, cliche, and manipulative. I can see how it would appeal to someone who needs some light reading, but this actually borders on romance-novel bad. The ending is so badly written and outlandish, that i felt embarrassed while reading it. I left my copy on the airplane! I suggest you do the same!

Summary: don't miss "Water"
Review: The Pilot's Wife was quite good, and had me captivated through out the book. I could feel the shock and devastaion she felt once discovering the truth about her husband. I must admit,though, I prefer her "The Weight of Water", which was published a few years back. Give it a try, it's a winner, too.
