Man, I wish I had bought this on the Kindle. At a whopping 900 pages, it will tweak your wrists! Anyway, the book is classic Follet- well defined characters, a bit of romance, lots of historical detail all wrapped up in a page-turner. He fully invested in his characters for the first 200 pages or ...

It's a little disappointing that people are rating this book on Amazon out of protest of its price. It's low rating does not give the book the recognition it deserves. This is my first Ken Follett novel, and I am hooked. I've read where some people have not been that interested in the subject matter...

Ken Follett's new novel, &quot;Fall of Giants&quot;, is a big boy. It's so big that it could be used as a door stop for a steel door. But I have a feeling that most people reading this review already know it's a big book and don't expect anything less from Ken Follett. <br/><br/>&quot;Giants&quot; is the firs...

I have loved just about everything Ken Follett has written, but I think this one fell short of his usual standard. Most of his novels grab you from the beginning, with fully-drawn characters and gripping plot lines. I wasn't even done with the second chapter before I began to wonder if I was even go...

1 Punkt, da Follett die Historie allen näher bringt und sie noch einmal gut erklärt darstellt, 1 Punkt für die Idee, dass ereignisreiche 20. Jahrhundert in einer Trilogie aus vier verschiedenen Nationenrichtungen wider zu geben und der dritte Punkt für die leichte Leseweise. Gut wegzulesen, ohne abe...

Follett has a way of creating characters that are original and so real. I fall in love with them from the minute he introduces them to the plot and I can't book the book down, because when I'm without it I'm lonely for my new friends :)<br/><br/>I enjoyed &quot;Fall of Giants,&quot; but wasn't all ...

The Fall of Giants takes place between the years 1914 and 1924 and is the first in a trilogy that supposedly will cover most of last century. As with most Ken Follett books, the characters are engaging and well drawn out, though his pacing is a bit off. The story follows 5 families in England, Ger...

<br/>Unlike the provincial medieval world of his earlier historical fiction, Follett placed his characters in several European nations as well as the United States; the rich and powerful figures are early 20th century cosmopo...

It was really amazing, and so informative. So, if you are asked to work on a history project on the World War I, just try this book.
<br/>He handles the story of so many people with totally different backgrounds skilfully, without messing them up. He lets you see the war and its consequences from ...
