hoserlauren 's review for:

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

4.0

---

My expectation before starting this book was that it would rival the storytelling of Pillars of the Earth. I don't think it quite was up to par with that, but it came pretty close. The setting was less interesting because the history is more well known, so the interest came mostly from the characters. We got a variety of characters - male/female and from vastly different classes. I didn't like how they all ended up having control in a certain part of the war, as this seemed unlikely, but that's nitpicking. This book kept me constantly interested and by the end I really hated Fitz, so Follett did well with character development. I've got the next in the series; I'm looking forward to reading it!
