So it is sure that among the novels of Ken Follett, "Night of Living Dangerously" is not the best far away ... In the thriller genre, it is best preferred "zero code" for example. And for the general interest of the saga "Pillars of the Earth" or of the "Century". But once one has said that, we must recognize that "Night of Living Dangerously" mania both suspense and fun to finally give a friendly cocktai. This is not the book of the century that Follett novel, but it is readable and managed to keep us in suspense for some time, even if we can quickly find the fall.
Remains in any case that placing the plot in the heart of the giant seaplane orginal. The characters in this camera are also numerous and are each their place in history, even if the description is sometimes on the verge of caricature (see the young English thief ...).
So if we do not seek more than a book for the summer, great, otherwise I think there is still better to read suspense quesiton.
