With the story lasting only 3 days there's no time to waste, Follett leaps right in from page 1 and it's edge of seat from then on.
The story begins on Christmas Eve at a drug research facility who hold a deadly virus and hopefully a cure. You know immediately things are not going to go well for our hero but will she prevail during a blizzard that makes every step made so much harder and an ex husband who refuses to accept she knows what she is doing.
Great book, hard to put down.

Pop Sugar Reading Challenge 2018--a book with a weather element in the title.

this was a can't put down book. I just had to know what was going to happen. There were a couple of "really? Really?" moments, and I wasn't in love with some of the characaterizations, but the suspense made up for all of that.

La historia es diferente de como me la esperaba, habiendo leído el resumen… pero eso no quiere decir que sea malo o no me haya gustado. Sí que es cierto que hay cosas que me chirrían un poco (como la relación entre Toni y Stanley, sin decir más para no hacer spoiler xD). Y además en general no me parece de la mejores de Follett. Pero a pesar de todo me ha parecido una novela entretenida, con buen ritmo y que se lee bien. Y que un libro consiga eso ya le da suficiente valor :)

Thriller qui se passe principalement sur seulement deux jours, mais qui garde vraiment l’attention. Les personnages sont simples, mais attachants. L’histoire est de plus en plus absurde, mais réaliste.
Les points négatifs sont que le début était assez long avant qu’il y ait de l’action. Il n’y avait pas de longueurs, c’était seulement une mise en situation. Deuxième point négatif est l’accentuation inutile de l’auteur sur le sexe dans les relations entre les personnages.

Ken Follett does it again. Another great storyline that will grab you from the first couple of paragraphs.

I enjoyed Whiteout. Was it Follett's best? No. However, it is not nearly as dreadful as some reviewers are claiming. I'm a huge Follett fan. So, this suspense novel did not disappoint.

Although an alternate title could be "Cell Phones: Everything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong," this was a fun and suspenseful page-turner. A deadly virus, a heist, a blizzard -- and all in the Scottish countryside. Right up my alley. Unfortunately, the romances irked me a bit, and the ending was disappointing. But I still enjoyed the story and stayed up late each night to read a few extra chapters.

This book was different from all of his other books I've read. It was a fast moving suspense. It wasn't what I expected but I really enjoyed it.
