Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by disappointed
let down
The beginning of the novel put me on a tremendous high; but pages later I was terribly let down. Snappy dialog, humor and all that, but even then I got too much of a good thing. But curiosity kept me reading, cause I wanted the conclusion... i'm sorry I did though because it's not concluded yet. No more Demille novels for me.

Terrible Ending
I just finished the book and I feel absolutely cheated out of about a week of my time. The story was wonderful with great characters up until the last few pages which totally dismiss the entire story. I feel like there should be at least 4 or 5 more chapters to explain and tie in everything he promised throughout the book. At first I thought I had accidentally skipped some of the ending, but I was wrong, the book ends abruptly and without closure. John COrey is a great character with a great sense of humor, but this really ticked me off.

Review (not rated) by Anonymous
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????

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Anonymous
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!

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by ryan
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.
