¡Felicitaciones a NUNCA por quitarle el título de “Peor libro de Follett que he leído” a La caída de los gigantes! Fue una contienda difícil, ambos candidatos dieron lo mejor de ellos por el título, pero al final solo uno podía ganar.
Ok ahora hablando en serio. No pude haber elegido un peor momento para leer este libro. En retrospectiva, debí abandonarlo, pero lo hecho está hecho.
De todos modos quiero dejar claro que independiente del momento, nunca me hubiera gustado este libro, no es un caso de leerlo en el momento incorrecto, porque no creo que nunca sea el momento correcto para leer sobre USA siendo la voz de la razón. Los héroes luchando por la paz, mientras todos los demás gobiernos son violentos y sedientos de venganza.

This book was fantastic, it was really hard to put it down. I really loved the characters of Abdul and Kiah and could have read an entire story just about them two.
The only issue I had with this book is that it really needs an epilogue. The ending is fast paced but I found it to be slightly disappointing, I really thought it could have benefited from an epilogue set a few years in the future.
