"I found out about The Pilot's Wife from my wife, who actually picked it up in an airport, desperate for something to read, and couldn't put it down and was actually kind of mad when the flight she had taken and read it on landed and she hadn't finished the book. The book is about Catherine Lions, who is the wife of an airline pilot. His plane is blown up while it's flying over the middle of the ocean, and the rest of the book is essentially her journey of processing the grief, at the same time learning little by little that the life that she thought she was leading is not necessarily the life she was leading. It was very riveting and just kept my attention and was a very fast read. I disliked the last third of the book; it felt a little rushed. The scenes getting to that point were very well thought out, very meticulously described. I would give this book a four out of five star rating. Like I said, it's very gripping and it's a novel that I think a lot of people would be interested in. It has very broad appeal."
