What readers think of Night Fall, plus links to write your own review.

Considering the VERY ending of the book.... Does this suggest a sequel, does it mean that there was a survivor (Mrs. Winslow), or was she carrying out a plot against Corey in the first place????

I felt cheated by the authors resolution of the plot by merely killing off all the bad guys and some of the good ones in a disaster not related to the plot.

SIMPLE GREAT!

This story was simply not Demille's best. Though the protagonist is still charming in spite of his cynicism, DeMille delivers a relentlessly dull plot this time around. His novels usually have me flipping pages because I can't wait to find out what happens next. With Night Fall, I turned each page because it brought me that much closer to being able to start something else. Perhaps basing a novel heavily on historical fact works for some authors (Dan Brown), but DeMille would do better to stick with what made him a bestseller. Just my $.02.

I found this segment of the John Corey story great!

Demille's ability to use real-life occurrences in a fiction based story line is incredible, in my opinion. Today's society is so filled with conspiracy theories and fear of terrorists that the story in Demille’s Night Falls is quite believable. I found this book to be one of Demille’s best.

My concern, though, is about Demille himself. Interviews with him that I’ve read of late state that he may retire. I’d hate to think that Night Falls is the last we hear of John Corey.

I was so upset by the ending of this book that I sent an e-mail to Mr. DeMille - the first time I ever contacted an author. It was contrived, lazy, and so insensitive that I could barely sleep all night. I will be very careful with any books I buy in the future. I am still reeling over this one. Mr. DeMille should be ashamed of himself. In my mind, he owes thousands of pepple an apology.

Have read and loved every demille book. Never been so disappointed before. Found the ending to be a combination sell-out and cop-out. Know I am in the minority, but I feel betrayed. Readers deserve better. Survivors of TWA 800 deserve better. He builds great characters and then wastes everything he has built for gimmicks. In author's notes he credits his son with suggesting the "perfect ending," rescuing him from the corner he had painted himself into. Perhaps he should return to his own instincts instead. I have always eargerly looked forward to demille's next book but can no longer say that is true.

Impossible to put down for starters...fast paced and timely.... This book was the perfect mix of fact and theory that surrourds itself around actual events..
You put yourself into the characters shoes and ask yourself if you would make the same decisons...
Even though this book leaves more questions and answers at the end (also opening the pandoras box on the one of the worst days in US History), you are drawn to each and every chapter, paragraph, and sentence that DeMille flawlessly puts on the page...
Just when you write off John Corey as the most vile, arroogant man in fiction, he comes through with heart that just keeps surprising you... I can't wait for his chartater to reappear once again...
