Book Reviews of Pied Piper
Book Review: Ordinary folks in unique situations... Good old Nevil Shute..
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this Nevil Shute novel about as well as I have all his other books I've read. I've read a majority of his novels, and these all have had rich and interesting characters. I enjoyed Pied Piper, and my personal favorite is Trustee From the Toolroom. If you're a reader and you haven't read any of his work, you owe it to yourself to dive right in. Other than an English idiom or two that may take a second or two to digest, I predict you'll enjoy Shute's stories, characters, and writing style.
Summary of Pied Piper
It is the summer of 1940 and in Europe the time of Blitzkreig. John Howard, a 70-year-old Englishman vacationing in France, cuts shorts his tour and heads for home. He agrees to take two children with him.But war closes in. Trains fail, roads clog with refugees. And if things were not difficult enough, other children join in Howard's little band. At last they reach the coast and find not deliverance but desperation. The old Englishman's greatest test lies ahead of him.
"Extraordinary and gripping...a literary bull's eye." (The Philadelphia Record)
