Fall of Giants

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is Follett's first book in his The Century Trilogy. It follows the lives of families in Wales, Russia and America as they struggle through the 1st part of the 1900s. There are more characters than I can possilbe list some fictional some historical. Unlike Follet's other all emcompassing books Pillars of the Earth and World with out End, Fall of Giants only takes place over 20 years instead of 100s. And unlile his spy/suspense novels this book moves slow. There is a lot of information to take in and story lines to keep straight. IF you are a fan of historical fiction this is a must read just dont expect it to be like anything Ken Follett has written in the past.
