No one writes a historical saga quite like Ken Follett. Is it entirely historically accurate? Probably not. Is it fine literature? No. Did it keep me entertained for 30 hours? It did! For the most part. There was a fair amount of political stuff at the end that I found myself tuning out on, but I'm always interested in the stories of the people. I particularly appreciated the depiction of the Bolshevik Revolution, because that is a piece of history that I'm not very familiar with. I'm sure I'll be reading the final 2 books in the trilogy.
