Fall of Giants - Ken Follett

one sentence summary:
1911 - 1924 this is the way the world worked.
review:
A lot of characters and a lot of places are covered in this novel, thorough historical research made this a more than pleasant read. Many details to keep track of though, with the characters stories crisscrossing across a decade and many countries. I would really have preferred the book be in a few separately bound volumes but that said it is well worth hunkering down and reading. Follett's writing puts function above beauty and that works really well for his elaborate story lines. I recommend this to everyone interested in the early twentieth century.
8/10

If you enjoyed this I recommend Edward Rutherford
