Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

---

I read Pillars of the Earth, and while I enjoyed it, I felt it dragged too much to be a truly engaging story. Maybe I am just used to a story with a faster pace, one that barrels along at a modern, break-neck speed, and with the time displacement, the story moved slower here. Maybe. This series, however, is the kind of story that I lost myself in. It follows the history of families throughout time and how they interconnect. I am glad I wasn't reading this just as it was published, because I was immediately able to delve into the next one. I love this series and can't wait for the final installment to be published!
