À propos de cet audio

"Everyone likes a page-turner, and Follett is the best."—The Philadelphia Inquirer

"A hell of a storyteller" (Entertainment Weekly), #1 New York Times bestselling author Ken Follett reinvents the thriller with each new novel. But nothing matches the intricate knife-edge drama of Whiteout. . . .

A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.

As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people, Toni among them, converge on a remote family house. All have something to gain or lose from the drug developed to fight the virus. As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks—jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, rivalries—crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge. Filled with startling twists at every turn, Whiteout rockets Follett into a class by himself.

As this is my first Ken Follett novel, I will reserve my opinion. it was chosen for a book club read.

long boring start

I slogged my way through this book thinking that Follett's skill as a writer would ultimately prevail. I was wrong. While the plot had potential, the story line was drawn out and boring. Token bits of humour and superfluous characters have been thrown in an attempt to keep the reader's interest alive. The characters lacked depth. Kudos to the narrator who did her best with poor writing. Finally, Follett added a ridiculous and needless sex scene at the end of the book. Do not waste a credit on this one!

Very disappointed
