nicolepeck 's review for:

Whiteout by Ken Follett
4.0

I gave this 4 because it kept me intrigued. I haven't read a book like this for a while, and suspense/mystery/intrigue books are one of my favorite genres. There was a LOT of language (F bombs) and other sexual innuendos but still a well thought out and well executed book. The characters were interesting, as was the setting. I never think of Scotland in winter, always green, so this was a change for me to try to picture in my mind. I kept forgetting and almost at first didn't realize it was in Scotland. I'm not sure what a boot lobby is (in a house, I know it's a trunk of a car) and there may have been a few other things like that, but I really did enjoy the book. The concept was meant to make you think about what would happen if something vicious like that were to be leashed upon the world and not stopped, and to be grateful for those people who's job it is to stop terrorists, as well as scientists to try to cure these things.
