paleflyer 's review for:

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

3.0

---

On the whole, an enjoyable historical fiction, though undeniably a soap opera (think Downton Abbey, in book form). I don't especially love Follett's writing, and the dialogue is often a bit flat, but the story is well paced and moves through time very well. I enjoyed the historical aspect of this book, and seeing the war and life from the perspective of many different types of people in varying social stations. I definitely prefer The Pillars of the Earth.
Side note: I'd steer clear if you don't like sexual scenes in books :).
