I absolutely love Ken Follet. He is great at character development and i love that he writes his stories based back in WWI/WWII time frame. This is an exceptional read and i can't wait for the last book to be released!

Very good book. I'm really enjoying this trilogy so far.
While I wasn't as invested in these characters as the first book, the war was the real star. I found myself frightened at time because some of the chapters echo what's going on in todays world. I'm looking forward to the next book.

A wonderful sequel to Fall of Giants. It follows the same five families through the beginning of the Nazi rise in Germany, WW2 and the splitting of Germany. I enjoyed it more as it shows what the families went through rather than a general outlook on WW2 and how they coped with their countries reactions to the political situations at that time.
Great second instalment...as always Follett does a great job with the historical timelines and draws the reader along with the story and characters. From pre-war Berlin to the Fascist movement in Britain, the Spanish civil war and Pearl Harbour, the evolution of communism in Russia and the early days of the Cold War and a divided Germany, Follett brings these important historical events to life. Looking forward to reading the third chapter!
