The Fall of Giants.by Ken Follet

I will start with Ken Follet's book, The Fall of Giants.
I enjoyed this book as it was a good story with strong character depiction and I learned World War I history all at the same time. I appreciate the authors historical research and how he integrated the history with a good story. I was ignorant of much of the "Great War's" history, so made it even more interesting. Also frightening to learn how a war causing so much loss of life and destruction was really over probably preventable relatively unimportant events. It again seems another example of not learning from past history. Sandra

  1. I have always enjoyed reading Follett because of the research mentioned. I have also found his books good for a re-read . Nice to have 'old friends' on your book shelf.
