3.0 out of 5 stars A fast paced adventure., February 17, 2008

This review is from: Passage by Night (Paperback)

Harry Manning ekes out a living by chartering his beloved boat, the Grace Abounding, to wealthy tourists visiting the Bahamas. When Cuban terrorists blow a plane out of the sky with his girlfriend on board, he's left with only one thought...revenge.
Passage by Night is a straightforward action-adventure novel which takes place in the days following the Cuban missile crisis. Manning goes from one harrowing situation to the next, escaping by the skin of his teeth each time.
This book is fast paced and action packed, but the plotting lacks realism and the characters are unnuanced. More guilty pleasure than award winning literature, Passage by Night rates 3 stars, no more no less.

When I started to read Passage By Night I wasn't really into the story, but I kept on reading on. As I got towards the middle I realized the book was really intresting. I never would of thought to finish this book, but here I am telling you about this great book I read and encouraging you to read it. I enjoyed reading this book because Jack Higgens wrote this book with lots of mysteries to think about and for you to keep on reading. This book shows what a person can do for their loves death, for xample revenge.If you ever have a chance to read this book I know you'll enjoy it. To me this book can not be compared with other books I have read because I never would of thought a book could be this intresting.
