Fast-paced thriller

I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Polidoro and his family at the Meredith Sundial Shop book signing of Rapid Descent on 7/16/00.Jack's affable nature and killer smile captivated all as does his book.From the first page to the last,the reader is totally engrossed.It is a true page-turner to be read without interruption.The thrills,plot twists and character developments sustain throughout and the factual information is a plus!Should easily become a movie and,moreover,an Oprah book club choice-it is that entertaining and worthy of notice.I,along with Jack's new-found fans,eagerly await his second book.Good luck,Jack!

Rapid Descent a Rapid Page Turner!

J. Polidoro has written an amazing book! I could not put this book down and found myself dissolving into tears as the tragedy unfolds. His technical description is fascinating -- I will never take flying for granted again. He also has an amazing gift for character development in a realistic and believable style. I spent a whole afternoon reading this book because I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Hope to see more from Jack Polidoro soon!

Rapid Descent: Disaster in Boston Harbor

J. P. Polidoro has written a novel which will not be forgotten! In fact, I have no doubts of it becoming a movie. Being a native New Englander, I found the book particularly interesting, however,anyone, anywhere, will be hard pressed to put this book down. Polidoro's detailed explainations of the characters, make the reader feel personally involved with them. The story unfolds into a series of events that keeps the reader turning the pages until a solution to that particular situation comes to an end. It never does... Instead, there are twists and turns and surprises that will force you to cancel your personal plans until you finish the book! Set some time aside, put your feet up and buckle your seat belt! It's gonna be a helluva ride!

Rapid Descent

Jack Polidoro has written a novel that reads like non fiction. I could not put it down. His research amazed me and was well done. Polidoro does not bore the reader with too much detail. As the novel unfolds, the reader will be caught up in a few unexpected suspenseful events that make you feel you are there. This book is a great read for everyone; and I hope Polidoro will continue with his great writing style and publish another book soon; he's on top of my list of great writers.

Rapid Descent:Disaster in Boston Harbor

Jack Polidoro grabs the readers attention from the start. He puts the reader right into the lives of the people who are the players in this book. He begins by telling just enough to whet one's appetite making the reader hungry for more of the story. His eye for detail is amazing, one would have to believe that the author himself is a pilot and has been through a crash landing in open water. Once the serious actions began to take place, I found myself riveted to the book to the degree that I could not put it down until I had completed it. Polidoro manages to come up with an unexpected domino affect as a result of the first tragedy to take place. He has just enough twists and turns in his novel to peak the interest of any reader. Had I not read the nature of the plot, I might have been hesitant to take another flight on a commercial airline. This is one book that has it all, suspense, romance, intrigue, and fast action. I would recommend it as a great read for everyone.
