Wow this book was great! I couldnt stop once I got started! Anita Shreve truly deserves the praise she gets. I went out and bought more of her books and cant wait to start one of those. Recommended for those who love literature fiction also has a bit of suspense too!

If you liked "The Bridges of Madison County," you will love The Pilot's Wife.

An amazing book! This is the first book that I have read by this author and I can't wait to read her others. The Pilot's Wife will surprise you at every new twist. This will be one of those books that you just can't put down!

Excellent book! This was the first I've read by this author, and I kept thinking I knew how it would turn out, but then it would twist again.

Story of how the pilot's wife deals with her grief after her husband dies in a plane explosion. With each new bit of information she uncovers she wonders if she ever knew her husband at all. I enjoyed this well-written story very much and will seek out more of this author's work.

Excellent book. A real page turner. From the opening page I was hooked and could not wait to see what was going to happen. It really involves how well do we know another person?

"The Pilot's Wife" is not what I would normally consider my kind of book. And now, thinking back over the book, I'm not sure why I enjoyed it, but I did. Anyway, I found it to be thoroughly engrossing and beautifully written. Well worth the time it took to read it

I expected to really like this book, but in the end I found it to be just okay. The plot seemed really contrived, like the author wasn't really sure what mysterious things that Jack Lyons, the pilot whose plane goes down, was up to. "The Weight of Water" was a much, much better book.

Just okay. I saw the end coming a mile away. It would make a decent beach book, as it is a very easy and quick read.

I loved this book. It was absolutely spellbinding and I could not put it down. I literally got up in the middle of the night to find time to read this one. Good to the very end.

This was my first exposure to Anita Shreve, and I am now a devoted fan!

Audrey Niffenegger, who wrote The Time Traveller's Wife, could use some lessons from Anita Shreve: You can write a compelling, sympathetic, page-turner without constant profanity, vulgar depictions of sex, and shallow characters.

The Pilot's Wife is one of the better books I've read recently. It was like standing helplessly by while watching a train wreck about to happen, and unable to look away. From the very first line in the book you know that things will continue to worsen for the main character with each turn of the page, that her "perfect" world as she knows it will unravel to almost unbearable levels. Shreve knows how to expertly draw the reader into her tales, can develop her characters into people we either know or can see in ourselves. Niffenegger, with her book, could do neither. Having read both books closely together, I couldn't help but make the obvious comparisons between the two. One soared, the other sank.

I look forward to reading more of Anita Shreve.

This is on my "A" list! What a great story! Had my attention from beginning to end. You'll love the twist at the end.

I really enjoyed this book from the very beginning. Even though I felt the ending was a bit weak, I would still recommend reading the book.

This was a fun book to read. Quick. The ending was just what I wanted to happen.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a very good mystery.

I enjoyed this book of Anita Shreve's the best. The suspense kept me going and wondering how someone lives 2 lives and makes a woman feel like they're his only world. Sad at times, but enjoyable read.

touching

Just finished reading this book in two days. Very easy read though, I must admit, somewhat predictable. Enjoyable all the same.

I read this a lot of years ago, it was my first by Shreve, and I LOVED it! I've since read and bought more just based on the talent this showed alone.

Engrossing book, she's very good at not overstating.
