intresting charcters
opening comments
the plot showed great promise when I picked it up I was expecting a volatile thriller
OPINION:
THE PLOT OF THE BOOK IS GOOD NO DOUBT
BUT I FEEL THE AUTHOR COULD HAVE ADDED EXCITING TWISTS I MEAN IF I WAS AN AUTHOR I WOULD HAVE CREATED AN ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE IN THE MOVIE MAYBE ADDED A PSYCOPATHIC CRIMINAL MAYBE CAUSE THE PLANE TO FORCE LAND ON AN ISLAND
THE IDEOLOGICAL CONFRONTATIONS REFELECT THE CHANGING TIMES IN THE 1940S THAT’S INTRESTING
SPESKS ABOUT ISSUES LIKE FASCISM NAZISM AND DEMOCRACY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ETC
THE ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE IS NOT MUCH BUT THE CHARACTERS ARE WELL FLESHED OUT
I WOULD HAVE ADDED A COUPLE OF SPIES TO ADD MORE SPICE
STRENGTHS :
GOOD PLOT
GOOD CHARACTERISATION
FAIRLY GOOD CLIMAX
CONS
THE PACE SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE
THE INITIAL PART OF THE BOOK TOO Could have started with an intrestin opening sequence
could have added a little action and spice to the middle
closing comments :
worth reading once but for die hard thriller fans could leave u a little dissapointed but for drama lovers pick the book its good
