Book Reviews of Night Fall
Book Review: poor end - repetitive content
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, the concept was great, and parts of it were very interesting. The ending was a huge disappointment, and so much of the basic story was repeated a lot. Of course part of the problem could have been we listened to 15 hours of unabridged Cds which could have been cut to 6 hours without losing anything. I read the comment about why no better end, but since it was fiction - including the video that was the main plot element, why not a ficitonal end that was more satisfying? In any case I enjoyed Plum Island, and will likely read more of DeMille's books - just not on cd.Book Review: too predictable
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with the reviewer who found this book to be a snooze. I really like some of DeMille's books, and was looking forward to this. I expected to read something inventive built around flight 800. Instead, he wrote the most obvious conspiracy theory. Not only does this lack the suspense of how it turns out, but the journey itself doesn't engage, as it does in some "airline crash" thrillers where the thrill is in the "how" it happened. For me, a big disappointment.Book Review: what about finishing the book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book until the very end. It was a little far fetched and predictable but good characters and crisp writing make for a very good DeMille book. The book moves along with
thriller speed until nearly the end when I suddenly realized that there were only a few more pages and nothing, and I mean
nothing is resolved. Then its over. Done. I have read very few books that left me feeling so disappointed after it was over. I wish he would write a final chapter and post it on his website or
something.
