4.0

For a heavy book spanning nearly a century over hundreds of pages, Follett’s concise, matter-of-fact writing helps you fly through. I was taken aback at times but his explanatory style - providing historical context for us readers at every little turn - which at times disrupted immersion into the book, but I ultimately found it to be engaging and informative, providing a clearer picture.
