HISTORY & SUSPENSE
This is what I want in a novel! I learned quite a bit about a "slice" of history that I knew very little about before: primarily London just before WW1 and, to a lesser extent, a sample of heinous cruelty delegated by many of the Russian 'nobility' (1895). For readers who prefer to sort of whet their appetites before diving into extensive historical studies, this presents the best of both ...

Flight full of intrigue
A story of romance,intrigue and espionage takes place over the Atlantic on the Pan American Clipper at the onset of WWII. Follett's mixture of characters are wonderful; everything from aristocrats to theives and spies on this flight. People from all walks of life taking this flight for all different reasons. A darn good yarn and as a bonus I learned something about the Pan American Clipper; an ...

Good read
I felt that this book was well-researched and the characters nicely rounded. I learned a few things about coal mining among other things, and I always love it when I pick up a historical novel and learn new facts!

Wonderful stand-alone sequel!
An amazingly real biography of a time so far away! This story will envelop you to the very end! Although it ties in with Pillars of the Earth, it functions brilliantly as a novel in its own right. Own it, Read it, LOVE IT!

What a thriller!!
One word came to mind after finishing this book. WOW! I believe this is the best spy thriller I have ever read. He was cunning and so devious, he kept outsmarting all those who were trying to find him. But in the end he was no match for the adversary Ken Follett put him up against. I have read Mr. Follett before and he has never disappointed me. I look forward to reading more of his works. If ...

Great choice by Oprah
After reading and loving Night by Elie Wiesel, I thought I'd try another of Oprah's book club picks. I had high expectations and was thoroughly satisfied with this book. It is a story that seems to go on endlessly as if you are reading a true history! Lots of accurate facts and descriptions to make you feels as if you are really there. At the end I was left with a feeling of sadness knowing ...

audio is worth every penny
The narrator, John Lee is superb - I know I wouldn't enjoy it as much reading it - the dialects make the story come alive, I wish it would last forever! It really is worth every penny, a little more than a dollar an hour to be so splendidly entertained!

Delightful
Why all the negative reviews??? A delightful little mystery, written when he was still an unknown, and I think originally published under some other name? Of course you cannot compare this little book (a short one) with the best of the best sellers today, but you must remember it was written many years ago. Put yourself in 1986 or whenever this was written when you read it. Fans of Ken ...

A Feat--and a Feast
Ken Follet achieves the nearly impossible task of creating genuine suspense about an event that is well-known, using fresh characters, clever plotting, and surprising twists on an old story. You will enjoy this book on a long plane flight, or just sitting out on your porch during the lazy days of summer. I always enjoy Ken Follet's approach to history--crackerjack pacing, strong dialogue, and a ...

Ken Follett - hammer of Eden
A very interesting, and quite novel, approach to mystery writing. Ken Follet is one of my favorite authors who never fails to create interesting characters, establish great tension and suspense, and leave you with a few surprises. This was a very interesting read.

A "Desert Island Book"
I read this one about 15 years ago, and have now read it a third time. It never weakens. I have heard this novel was challenging for Follett because he does not believe in God. I don't either,but I found the humility and devotion of its protagonists to be wholly believable and endearing. I could not help but fall in love with Aliena, nor could I suppress my admiration for Tom, Phillip, and ...

Truly a book you can't set down..
This was a great book, I enjoyed it a lot, there are some books I can read in the train, and just continue it day after day, and there are books like these, where I just have to finish it, and once I do, just wish there was more.. Very interesting, described vivid images.. loved it..
