A review by maarkean
Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

5.0

I really enjoyed getting into the lives of the people of this era. It's interesting to see the evolution of life for the characters around this major world event, especially from the perspective of all the different nationalities. The characters are engaging on their own but this is enhanced as you get to see history unfold before them.

While it is fiction, and therefore tainted by the needs of a story and colored by modern views on things, its accurate enough to give a good sampling. Any fan of Downton Abbey would appreciate this book as it focuses on the same time frame.
