Fall of Giants by Ken Follett
4.0
I really wish there was a half star option, because this was a 4.5 star book for me.
First of all, I LOVED the complexity of this book, the historic background, the fact that it seems so well-researched (I'm not a historian)... the only reason I took off a half star was the fact that it was a bit unrealistic. I mean, what a coincidence that the characters meet all the time! But if the storylines didn't cross at all, the novel would be boring, so I guess it was necessary to have them meet all the time.
I never really paid attention to WW1 in history class, which is why I'm so happy I picked up this book. It's just an entertaining way to learn about our past.
I'm definitely going to pick up the second book in the trilogy, but I'm going to read some shorter books before diving into the next one.
