Whiteout | Ken Follett
post image

Whiteout is one of the #50wordsforsnow. And look, a Follett book under 500 pages! This one takes place during a blizzard on Christmas Eve so I may read it in a few weeks. ❄️ #winterwonderland ❄️

valeriegeary Next time we get a snow forecast (which might be never), I'm for sure grabbing this one to read! 😄 5y
BeADragon3 Reading my first Ken Follett book now and living it. Might have to pick this one up. Doesn't snow where I'm at, but maybe a good storm storm 😉 5y
Bklover I used to read all the Follett thrillers. Loved em! 5y
TrishB I‘ve never read his non history books! 5y
Cinfhen Sounds interesting and I bet it‘s really good #stacked 5y

#50wordsforsnow #winterwonderland
I was expecting dark nordic noir with this read set in an Icelandic town isolated by heavy snowfall and got quite a cosy crime read which would read well as the nights draw in. I lent it to my mum who then bought the rest if the series so i returned from last visit with all 4 - may read on soon.
I'll also tonight be hunting through my cds for my copy of this album - cosy crime and kate bush a perfect combination

Louise Thanks for this review. I‘m going to tell my mom about it. She loves Scandinavian crime novels! 5y

#50wordsforsnow This book set in Denmark and Greenland is full of snow. It starts so well with a good character, a gripping mystery and some fascinating stuff about Danish-Greenlandic relations but the plot is unbelievably silly by the end @TrishB @Cinfhen #winterwonderland

Cinfhen Lots of mixed opinions about this one ☝🏾 I might need to try it for myself 😉 5y
Moray_Reads @Cinfhen I liked it so much at the beginning and then it all became too thriller-y for me. And the solution to the mystery was utterly ludicrous add far as I was concerned. Lauded by reviewers though! 5y
Cinfhen Your cover is extra special too!!! This book seems to be a love it/hate it 5y

TrishB It‘s on my tbr and it definitely is a love/hate! Have you read @Cinfhen ? 5y
Cinfhen No, I had it on my TBR @TrishB but Stephanie ( @Reviewsbylola HATED it) so I took it off my TBR, but now I‘m curious so back on it goes!!! #ThatsHowIRoll 😘😘 5y
TrishB @Cinfhen I got a copy for giving money to charity 😁 every review is different - so I go hot and cold! 5y
Kalalalatja I‘ll be excited to see what you guys think @Cinfhen and @TrishB even though he is a Danish author, I have nevet read him, but he is very popular in Denmark, too! 5y
Leniverse I loved the first half, but the second half was like a completely different genre! I felt about as lost as when I watched From Dusk Till Dawn and it suddenly became a vampire flick. 😂 @TrishB @Cinfhen I think it‘s worth reading just for that first half, and then just get ready to do a lot of eye rolling when it goes from detective/social novel to James Bond. 5y
BarbaraBB @Leniverse @moray_reads Me too, I LOVED the first half and then it went downhill. I shouldn‘t try @trishb @Cinfhen 5y
Moray_Reads @BarbaraBB it was so interesting at the start and by the end it was hard to believe I was reading the same book! 5y
Cinfhen Looks like we might have to #BuddyRead @TrishB 😊😘 but maybe only the first half @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @Leniverse @Moray_Reads 5y
Cinfhen Like your photo @Leniverse 💕🙌🏻 5y
Leniverse @Cinfhen Thank you! 5y
TrishB @Cinfhen 😂😂 we‘ll get the page number and finish before it goes down hill! 5y
Melissa_J Such a pretty cover. 5y
Reviewsbylola Good luck!! 😆 @Cinfhen 5y
writerlibrarian Well... i loved this one all of it. But YMMV. 5y

I read Pamuk's amazing novel nearly one year ago & I still think about it. I have only read one other book by him, I really need to remedy this.

Cinfhen @KarenUK posted something similar and I wonder which author came first?!? Either way both quotes are beautiful xx 5y
andrew61 One of the new yorker podcasts recently was a Margaret atwood short story in which a widow on a cruise, meets a man she had gone to prom with 40+ yrs before, in the Arctic stop amidst the snow she exacts revenge - its a great story but definitely in contradiction to the quote 😂 5y
batsy Nice 🙌🏽 5y
LeahBergen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y
merelybookish @andrew61 Maybe Atwoods own feelings about snow have changed as she's aged. 5y

TrishB It‘s still on my tbr.... 5y
