Glidepath (A Max Fend Thriller)
Glidepath (A Max Fend Thriller)

Review:As an aviation thriller, which is what one might presume from the way it's presented, it's pretty light on the 'aviation.' Flying is involved, but there's no you're-in-the-cockpit-turning-and-burning flying sequences; this is a spy vrs spy story which happens to involve an airline as a plot device.

As an espionage thriller, it's competent, but that's all I can really say about it. It livened up a bit at the end, which I appreciated. Overall, it just wasn't truly gripping. No real gravitas... Read more

Review:I am a great fan of Follett. I have read everything he has written and have never been disappointed. My Canadian friend put me onto this author and I am very grateful to her for many enjoyable reads. Words flow so smoothly and description put me right in the scene. Can't wait for his next book.

The Hammer of Eden: A Novel

Review:I've read several Ken Follett novels, and although some of them are powerful (Pillars of the Earth, book 1 of the Century triology), he's also striked out more than once. This is one of them. The premise was semi-interesting, but totally unbelievable. As the reader, you need to decide early on if you're going to go along with that. I could have done that, except he brought in his misogynistic self and just irritated the crap out of me. I think he might have used the words "breast," "see through"... Read more

The Modigliani Scandal: A Novel

Review:Rambling and disconnected. Story line intriguing but all over the place, ending just seemed to drop off without a good finish.

Love every other book i've read by mr. Follett this one just fell flat. So many other good reads he's written before you open this one. Read more

El invierno del mundo (Spanish Edition)
El invierno del mundo (Spanish Edition)

Review:Hasta alguno de los libros electrónicos gratuitos tiene mejor maquetación que este: no hay divisiones entre capítulos, ni índice... parece que te hayas descargado un archivo de texto plano en lugar de una edición digital seria.

En cuanto al libro en sí, lo que cabe esperar de la continuación de "La Caída de los Gigantes", es un buen libro, con una narración fluida. Bien contado, y que engancha desde la primera página. Pero repito, para ser una edición digital que cuesta casi 17 euros, tie... Read more

Review:This was an excellent story to read and the characters were developed very nicely. I really enjoyed the overlap of true history and a fantasy that seemed to be so possible.
