Mayday Audiobook

" Amazing book, different from most of DeMilles book but very hard to put d0wn. "

" Wasn't my regular type of book, but happened to pick it up on the suggestion of a family member. Once started I couldn't put it down! A real page turner full of twists and turns! "

" Not sure you want to fly with this book. "

" This collaboration between Thomas Block and Nelson DeMille is just plain fun to read. Don't let all the dumb movies you've seen about in-flight situations keep you from reading this book. "

" Two very different authors coming together and making it work is rare. Though you can tell where one started and the other one picked up it's a good book none the less "

" I get the feeling that this book was mostly written by Tom Block and not Nelson DeMille. It didn't sound like most of Nelson DeMille's other books. There were no characters here that I could invest in. All were deeply flawed, even the so-called "heros" which made for a very depressing read. "

" 3 1/2 stars. Read this when ON a flight, to Europe. Not the best timing, but good book! "

" Got lucky and found this book at a Half Price Bookstore. I have always enjoyed every Nelson DeMille novel I've read and this one was no different. Timely, swiftly paced, and updated to account for advances in technology (the original was released in 1979), "Mayday" provides complelling and detailed characters as well as necessary (and enjoyable) subplots. Strongly recommend. "

" 2nd read...much better this time...spell-binding "

" This was one of the best books I've read in awhile. It keeps you turning the pages with the suspense of what could happen next. My favorite part about it is that the main character faces extreme adversity the novel's entire length. Just awesome. "

" Thriller in the air written by DeMille with Thomas Block. "

" Exciting the whole way through. Good characters and perhaps a bit too "just-in-the-nick-of-time" to be realisitc, but still makes a great novel. "

" The story was an interesting concept and the technical descriptions were spot on, but the dialog was on par to what you would find in a low-end porno and character development was equally as deep. "

" Not a book to read on your flight -- a thriller about an airplane being shot down and a small aircraft pilot trying to bring the plane home. Some interesting moral dilemas as well. I like DeMille and the book did not disappoint. "

" Well, as an airplane lover I had to like this book. But it was not only because of the aviation topic. It has a great plot, the characters are pretty realistic. And although the end seems to be quite good... is it really? "

" Great airplane thriller. Far better then any "Airplane" movie and much more realistic and scary. "

" A great story involving ethical dilemmas where if just one person had made a different decision, the outcome would be different. Well written. Action-packed. EXCELLENT! Would be a good textbook for Ethics 101. "

" One of DeMille's very best thrillers; about an airliner. "

" Nelson DeMille is great at luring you into an improbable story. This is a book full of suspense and I stayed up all night to finish it. His endings are always a surprise!! "

" Far fetched. But a good read. "

" I don't think I am a fair judge of this book. It is not the type of book I enjoy. I read it for the book group. "

" I loved this book. It's been a long time since I've read a book I couldn't put down, but of course, I am a big fan of Nelson DeMille anyway. To sum up, it's "Airplane" (the movie) meets "The Walking Dead (the TV series). I suppose these types of coverups really happen. Scarey!!! "

" I first read this book and then listened to it on cassettes 8/31/2010 "

" Another easy to read mystery that flowed right along. "

" This book was amazing. It was suspensful, well written, and scary. Even though it was written in 1979, it still fits in with today's time period. It's a great read. "

" A true, unrelenting thriller. Couldn't put it down! "

" Wow! I couldn't put it down!! "

" Do not read before flying....this hijacked passenger flight has the ground crew/ocean military advisors who are not all that interested in having this plane return safely. Of COURSE this could happen.........that's what's so frightening! "

" Exciting the whole way through. Good characters and perhaps a bit too "just-in-the-nick-of-time" to be realisitc, but still makes a great novel. "

" I have never read anything by this author, but was intrigued when my sister told me about this particular book. It was a fun book to read and I may look into reading more of his work. "

" This is definitely a 'sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat' kinda book. It was a fast read and enjoyable. I do wonder if there's as much CYA in the insurance industry and the military as implied by this book, or if they were just unscrupulous men. I probably won't fly for a while though. "

" Oh my gosh! I never want to fly again after reading this book. I couldn't put it down. "

" there are just too many people out there who value money over life. "

" I first read this book and then listened to it on cassettes 8/31/2010 "

" Wasn't my regular type of book, but happened to pick it up on the suggestion of a family member. Once started I couldn't put it down! A real page turner full of twists and turns! "

" Good read - especially when you have a brother that's an airline pilot! "

" Better than most of his books. "

" This is an appealing premise and it actually was an interesting story line but the description of the aftermath of a supersonic passenger airplane decompressing at sixty two thousand feet is not pretty. It was well done but not a fun read. I <br/>actually an a Pollyanna at heart. <br/> "

" Not sure you want to fly with this book. "

" Ugh, the descriptions of the effects of high-altitude decompression on the poor passengers of a supersonic airliner are horrific. (Think Night of the Living Dead.) I stuck through with until the end, though, because I wanted to know what happened to the last three &quot;normals&quot; in the plane. "

" Fantastic. This story was way ahead of its time! <br/>I read this just prior to my first trans-Pacific flight. Maybe not such a good idea... "

" A true, unrelenting thriller. Couldn't put it down! "

" a silly but entertaining read. It kept my attention but the brain damaged passengers made me feel like I was reading a science fiction novel about zombies. "
