The reviewer didn't like the ending and gave it a three out of five stars. They recommend it for fans of mystery books, but caution about the ending. Hi everyone, my name is Lauren and this is my podcast, Novels Review. Today I'll be talking about the novel Before the Fall by Noah Hawley and discussing whether or not I like it. So the author Noah Hawley is an American writer and producer. He has four other novels and has produced several TV shows as well. This particular book is a mystery novel and the basic plot of it is that there's an accident with a plane crash that results in the death of many of the characters. And as the novel goes through it kind of gives backstory to each of the characters and how they are involved in the accident. And the main character's name is Scott and he and a young boy are the two people who survived the plane crash. The story goes through kind of the aftermath and how he deals with it and a lot of people are suspicious of him and so they are trying to uncover the mystery. The people who were in the plane crash are very wealthy and very high up in society and so there's a lot of speculation as to what happened and who caused the accident. The main themes of the book are morality, life, and mystery. And a quote that shows morality from this book is, quote, he knew that the world is an impossibility, that the state of Israel was an impossibility, that every man woke up and put on their boots and went off to do the impossible no matter what it might be. That this was the hubris of mankind, to rally in the face of overwhelming odds, to thread the needle and climb the mountain and survive the storm. I thought that that quote really represented what the book was about. It was about resilience and overcoming hardship. As for rating, I wasn't a big fan of the ending. So I think I would give it a three out of five stars. Most of the novel was good. It had a lot of good backstory and development, but I just was not a fan of the ending. So I would give it three out of five stars overall and I think that I would recommend it if you like mystery books, but you might be disappointed by the ending.
