Book Reviews of Night Fall
Book Review: GREAT until the HORRIBLE ending
Summary: 3 Stars
Others have stated this but what a shame that an incredible book like this had such a cop (as in apathetic) out ending. The tension builds and builds and you're ready for what's going to go down........and nothing does. You never find out the "truth." In an interview with the author on the audio CD, he said his 23yr old son picked out the ending for him. Bad mistake to listen to him. This was such a great book about 90% through with a very disappointing ending. What a letdown.Book Review: Good dialogue, good plot, flat ending.
Summary: 3 Stars
Talk about chickening out! The book started out nicely enough with engaging characters and witty conversation. The plot was interesting and plausible. The suspense rose to a really nice crescendo but totally and completely fell flat at the end and used 9/11 (yes, I don't mind spoiling this one for you because I feel cheated and you will too) as an "excuse" to kill everyone off so that a resolution was not needed. I still don't know who the baddies are/were and whether the controversy held weight. Ah well...get this one from a second-hand book store and then sell it back! Squandered potential!!!Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved the book. I'm now hooked on Nelson Demille's books. John Corey is the best character. I hope they make this book in to a movie, and I'd like to see Tommy Lee Jones play him. I think the ending was just perfect for the story. Book was hard to put down.
Book Review: Great foreplay but no sizzling climax
Summary: 3 Stars
Nelson DeMille is a terrific writer. Some of his books are incredibly hard to put down, including the prequel "The Lion Game." That said, this novel was exciting to read and the story just propels itself. That is, until the ending.
The ending was extremely disappointing. I don't want to give away anything, but let me give an analogy. Suppose Agatha Christie had gathered all her suspects in a room with a hint that someone will deliver a theory that would be earthshattering, and that the murderer will be unmasked. Suppose then that right before the denouement, an explosion occurs killing all suspects, destroying all evidence, no theories expounded upon, and the author declares, "The End". Well, such was the ending of "Night Fall."
It was an exciting novel but the ending was unsatisfying.
Book Review: Great, till the last 10 pages.
Summary: 1 Stars
Most of the favorable reviews for this book are pretty accurate; however, the end was a huge disappointment. After building up suspense, conspiracy, danger, and tension, no questions were answered at the end of this book. It's like you couldn't come up with an ending, so you took a national tragedy, 9/11, to tie it all together. What a waste of time.
