September 1939. England is at war with Nazi Germany. Southampton, the world's most luxurious airliner-the legendary Pan Am clipper-takes off for its final flight to neutral America. Aboard are the cream of society and the dregs of humanity, all fleeing the war for reasons of their own...shadowed by a danger they do not know exists...and heading straight into a storm of violence, intrigue, and betrayal... A favorite!

Andrew65 Great review and agree. It had a bit of a feel of Fall of Giants. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes I agree with a feel of Fall of Giants! 5y

Day 3 - #MrBook1InAMillion #Readathon #LitsyPartyOfOne #24B4Monday

Today I‘m flying over the Atlantic from Southampton Uk to New York with Ken Follett and having a bowl of Peach Oatmeal. This oatmeal is so easy to make - 45 seconds in microwave and is so delicious. I like to add a little milk.

Gotta get back to my book! I am loving this novel! Follett is a wonderful storyteller!

Lynnsoprano It‘s a good one. That oatmeal looks really good. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen it the store. 5y
EadieB @Lynnsoprano It‘s in the aisle with the individual fruit cups from DelMonte. I don‘t see it in the oatmeal aisle so you may want to check both places! 5y
Lynnsoprano Thanks! 5y

Andrew65 He does write a great story, has a feel of his Century Trilogy. (edited) 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes he does! I‘m getting a little anxious about this flight! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB A good attitude to have! 5y
BethM That‘s nice- we don‘t have that in the US. 5y
EadieB @BethM I‘m in the US! Are you speaking of the oatmeal? If so, check out the canned fruit aisle! 5y
BethM I am- I‘ve never seen it! Maybe it‘s more regional then. 5y
Deblovestoread I‘m in Oregon and saw the oatmeal the other day. I am going back to get some since you‘ve given it a 👍🏼 5y
EadieB @Kdgordon88 Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 5y

Started the November book in the #KenFollettBuddyRead which I am reading with @EadieB and @Tove_Reads
This is a #chunkster at 672 Pages. Sure it will be another great story by Ken Follett.

RachelAmphlett I love his books! 5y
Andrew65 @RachelAmphlett He is a great author, don‘t think I‘ve ever been disappointed. 5y
Crazeedi I have to see if I've ever read this one, not sure, but I think not 5y

Tove_Reads Are you enjoying it? 5y
Andrew65 Finished now and did enjoy it, quite different to some, very character driven. 5y
Tove_Reads Yes, I enjoyed it as well, but it‘s not one of my faves. Was a bit slow in the beginning, building up to what it was all about was a bit too long for me. But, then again, many characters. In that way it felt like a Binchy 😂 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I think I‘d agree with al, you‘ve said, good but not a favourite. 5y

I‘m a bit late with this one, but here is my #WeeklyForecast. It may seem a lot of books, especially with being back at work but going into the week already part way through a Whitethorn Woods, Poirot Investigate, Mutiny on the Bounty. Also a few old books on here which are shorter books.

tpixie Amazing stats! 5y
Andrew65 @tpixie Thanks, at least 50 books I want to get to by the end of the year. 5y
tpixie Wow! Alastair McLean and Follet classics! 5y

tpixie Actually all are!! 5y
Andrew65 @tpixie Trying to complete my challenge where I read one book published every year over the last 100 years (1920 - 2019), it is getting me to some great classics. Still got 30 years to cover before the end of the year. 5y
Cinfhen You‘re just a reading machine!!! 9 books is a huge number to tackle!!!! Good for you!!! How many books have you read this year?? 5y
tpixie @Andrew65 awesome! Great luck! 🍀📚🍀 5y
Andrew65 @Cinfhen So far Read 232 books and 97,422 pages this year. Was aiming for 100,000 Pages this year so I should easily make that total. That will certainly be my best year. Helped this week by some older smaller books. (edited) 5y
Cinfhen Wowza!!!!! Fantastic 5y

1939. The story takes place on the world‘s most luxurious airliner - the legendary Pan Am clipper- for its final flight from England to neutral America. All people aboard are fleeing the war for reason of their own, but danger is waiting for them..
Follett is a master at subplots driving together!

OriginalCyn620 Sounds good but it looks like a chunkster! Or it may be the camera angle...✈️ 5y
Buechersuechtling I remember to have read that yeeeaaars ago but I can‘t tell the exact plot, for example the villain 🦹‍♂️, anymore. Only remember I liked it. Hope you enjoy. 🛩 🌑 🌊 5y
La_Cori @OriginalCyn620 this edition is 600+ pages, it's a mass market paperback (a really small one!) But i remember I finished it in a few days.. 5y
La_Cori @Buechersuechtling me too.. I can't remember the exact plot.. I remember just the trans-Atlantic crossing, lots of people and even more connections among them!! 5y

I just love how Follet tells us a story. He ALWAYS get me involved!!! "'The opulent interior of the first airliner on a transatlantic flight from England to New York in war-darkened 1939 is the setting for Follett's high-flying caper, guaranteed to hold the reader in their seat... the master of epic suspense spins an excruciatingly taut drama, a whirlwind of romance and intrigue .. " Entertaining level: ????? #Persefone #2015Sha #DogsOfLitsy
