bchipper 's review for:
The Evening and the Morning
by Ken Follett
I liked the story.
But...
I was disappointed by the predictable action. As with the Authors other books, Pillars of Earth and World Without End, the “good” characters always make dumb decisions and have repeated setbacks, whilst the “bad” characters (and once again they are mostly priests) get all the lucky breaks until virtually the last chapter.
The story is well written and does roll along quite well. It is just enough to keep keep the reader interested despite the sometimes unbelievable naivety of the main characters. Right from the start you get the sense that Edgar's dreams will not be forthcoming anytime soon.
