  “Once I picked this book up I had a hard time putting it down! It's thrilling and suspenseful but it also has a great warm familial feel to it too. The director of a big research facility has his children and grandchildren to the family home in secluded Scotland for Christmas. On the same day, a deadly virus is stolen from his research facility by a band of 3 thugs and that's where the action is. They all converge at the directors home in the middle of a blizzard and everyone has to use their wits as well as strength to survive the night. A couple parts might have been slightly unbelievable but it really didn't detract from the story. The characters in Whiteout are diverse and authentic. Whiteout is a great atmospheric book for the Christmas season.”

  “Predictable love interest, inept thieves and a happy ending. Pretty weak book for Ken Follett.”

  “A fast paced novel, with beautifully crafted characters makes this book one of my favorite ken follet books! The way the characters and the plot falls in place, is so exciting, because by then you're almost wishing something happens, and it doesn't disappoint you! ”

  “This is an excellent book as are ALL of Ken Follett's. It's a great book to read during a hot summer as the whole book is set in a blinding blizzard.
  I read it a long time ago, but remember it well. Great Reading!”

  “Not a bad outing for Ken Follett; quite a bit less gratuitous sex and violence for one of his books.
  
  However, the characterizations are a bit one-dimensional, and the exposition just seems fairly obvious; it's like he's channeling Michael Crighton.”

  “I just can’t say enough about Ken Follett. I am just immediately engrossed in his books, before the first chapter is even done. I actually spent over 3 hours last night reading (during American Idol!), I was so interested. This is the first of his I’ve read that actually takes place in modern times. Most everything else I’ve read was set in the WWII era, so this was a nice change of pace. ”
