What readers think of The Pilot's Wife, plus links to write your own review.

Just finished this book and loved it. For anyone who has ever been betrayed, it certainly challenges the emotions one feels. In the end, I liked the hope... that we can recover even in the face of events we never thought could happen.

I'm not usually a fan of Oprah's Book Club, but I'm starting to be a fan Anita Shreve since I read Fortune's Rocks which I got at a used books store. In Pilot's Wife, the subtle building romance between Richard and Katherine is what I found most appealing rather than the relationship with her husband even in the flashbacks. It is not an integral part of the major plot, but the chemistry between them is obvious from the moment Richard knocked on Katherine's door.

i thought it was a little to grown up

I'd heard great reviews about this book, but I found it to be quite boring. Initially, I couldn't put it down. After a few chapters that feeling quickly changed. I thought the story was unrealistic. I find it hard to believe that a husband could've actually pulled that off for almost five years with no suspicions from a wife.

I really enjoyed this book, but some bits were confusing. Surely Jack would have slipped up some time in the four and a half years he was married to Muire. They kept on talking about whether or not he was guilty of the bomb on the plane, and they eventually reached the conclusion <<edited for potential plot spoiler content>>. I thought the way Shreve used descriptive language was amazing, but the reaction of Kathryn wasn't as accurate as it probably would have been in real life. If i found out my husband had married someone else 4 and a half years earlier and went on to have a family with her, i'd probably flip. Over all i really enjoyed reading it, it was the first book i've read of Anita Shreve's and i've already read another one!

I loved this book.
It really sucked me into it.
I loved the words and the description of the book.
I think it was fabulous.

The book had potential to be really interesting and quite explosive! Great concepts of love, betrayal, grief, intrigue and possible tension. these were never fully explored except for grief. I found the book too slow to begin with and not enough detail in the end.

It was boring at first, but it got interesting as i turned the pages!: )
