Edge of Eternity (2014)
Review contains SPOILERS. Don't read further if you don't want some plot details spoiled.Are you a self important baby boomer who leans left in your political views? Well buddy, are you going to have the biggest rager of a boner reading this book. Don't get me wrong, I devoured this book, and it ...
O Inverno do Mundo (2012)
I thought the first book in the trilogy was great, but this one is even better. The drama that unfolds around World War 2 is excruciating at times. There were times that I was so engrossed in the story that I thought about the characters throughout the day, sometimes sad and sometimes proud of my...
L'inverno del mondo (2012)
With so many people writing a review I feel like it has all been said and done. I will say that I was disappointed with this book compared to the first book in the trilogy. The dialogue at times seemed stiff and unconvincing. That said, I usually love Follett's books and I applaud him for attempt...
El invierno del mundo (2012)
I gave this novel a five star review in the rush following the end of such a big book. In retrospect, I actually rate it more around a 3.5 stars. Why? Well, mostly because even if seen in its summarized entirety it feels in way perfect, that is exactly what makes it flawed.First of all, let me ex...
La caduta dei giganti (2011)
I listened to the Audible version.I know nothing about WWI and I love history. Ken Follett is a master story teller for these great sweeping sagas. I found that it helped me to download the list of characters from the internet to help keep track of all the story lines. It is fascinating to watch ...
A Queda dos Gigantes (2010)
I started this novel but just couldn't do it and gave up part way through. I understand that this series is hugely popular, and in fact, the book was lent to me by a coworker who is a fan. I have to admit, the novel was highly readable and I found the pages turning quickly. It became an issue of ...
La caída de los gigantes (2010)
Really loved this book. I love reading history, and never read Historical Fiction, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Enjoyed both the trip through the challenging and painful times around World War I, while at the same time getting depth on characters and their hopes, dreams, achievements and fail...
Winter of the World (2012)
The soap opera continues in volume 2, and I mean that in the best possible sense. This is the second in Ken Follett's historical fiction Century Trilogy, a stroll through the madness of the 20th Century. Winter of the World takes us through WWII through the eyes of the English, the Welsh, the Fre...
Fall of Giants (2010)
What I love the most about Winter of the World is how Follett weaves this fantastic web of characters and how their lives are from all different walks of life, and how they interact in almost a serendipitous way. This story is so captivating because it is narrated from several different characte...
