Forgettable

There is a reason why any reader knows 100 famous authors and no more because to tell a good story that is well written is a magical feet reserved for the elite few like Ken Follette this book, one of his earliest writings 1977 was an exercise in confusion. The premise was rather dated of course 50 years ago and

Disappointing End

Lot of characters, long trip to a very unsatisfying ending. I love Ken Follett, but this one not so much!!

paper money is definitely worth the money

I really enjoyed this quick read. when it was over I wished it was not.

Seriously?

I love most anything by Ken Follett but this one sort of missed the mark for me. The story was mediocre and seemed unfinished. When it ended I literally exclaimed as it seemed so abrupt. It missed Follett’s typically unparalleled character development.

Disappointed

I absolutely love Ken Follet but this book was not his best. It’s like he didn’t really finish the book.
