The book came to me in the promised number of days, and it's in good decision.

Ken Follet's characters were poorly developed. Pretty much a "formula" written book that required the reader to suspend any critical thinking skills they might possess.
"Follett Dials One In - Fundamentally Flawed"

I'm a fan of Ken Follett but it seems, like Miles Davis in his later years, he's just dialing it in now. The entire premise for the theft of the Madoba-2 virus is just naive at best. Follett may have visited some bio-tech firms for his research for White Out but he sure didn't do any research on basic security. What kind of high-tech company that handles a killer virus would not change access pass codes when an employee is fired. That's just stupid. There is also a ridiculous amount of filler and fluff in this book that had little to do with the actual story. I was disappointed.

not one of my favorite ken follett but still allright read. Pillar of the earth is his best one and still better then at worlds end
Not the best Ken Follett book I ever read, but it was still a nice read. I would recommend reading this book if you're waiting at a airport, in a doctor's office, or some such, or if you're bored and sick and want something to read after you're sick of watching TV. Not that this book sucked, but it could have used more. The idea was very good, but it fell flat on delivery in some places, and the ending was a bit cliched. If Ken had put in more detail and thought, this book would have delivered better. I'd say three and a half stars is a fair rating for this book.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the complex characters and the story line - theft of a dangerous virus from a laboratory in Scotland - was very engaging.
My one critique is that in the last chapter the author had Kit (Stanley's son) teaching the black guy to read. Come on!! This is 2008!
Ken, you should be well pass such racial stereotyping behavior. Besides, I found it unbelievable that a guy who is a major player in a vast gangster organization is unable to read.
Move with the times. Next time pick on someone else!
