ziyuelan 's review for:
Fall of Giants
by Ken Follett
My first official reread after nearly 5 years and in a different language… although it really didn’t affect the experience since I did not remember a lot of the French version.
I already had a pretty good idea of the characters, the relationships between them and the overall workings of this book so it wasn’t as hard to get into it. However, these types of more political heavy books always take me longer for the simple reason that they are always so packed with so much information and aren’t always super fast paced or action packed.
The whole Ethel and Fitz storyline was one of the main motivators for picking up this book once more and trying to maybe finish this trilogy simply because the ending is just the best. The ultimate power move by introducing the son he doesn’t to acknowledge. Also the fact that she’s with her new husband felt not right to me.
So many of the other characters also had a lot of things happen to them from broken hearts to engagement to fights to advancement in life and while it can be very confusing and heavy reading this, it was still really awesome to see such an infamous event unfold from a different perspective than the one we simply learn from history books which is a tries to be objective POV.
