A review by tamracielle
Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

4.0

This book was not as good as the stellar Pillars of the Earth. It captured my attention at the beginning, and the characters were well-drawn and captivating, but after a while, it started to drag. The endless descriptions of wars and political strategies began to be monotonous. Will this war never end, the reader thinks. Maybe that was the point. I'm sure those who lived through WWI felt the same way. I certainly learned a lot about that war and that period of history. Ken Follett definitely does his research. I liked it well enough to continue with the second book in the trilogy at some point.
