I loved this book and found it at times very difficult to put down. The middle section was a bit laborious but towards the end and our modern times I really enjoyed.
Peter gives a very consise history of the world from the early abrahamatic religions to 9/11 and how different people, culture, religions and raw resources have shaped the world we live in today and how we got here.
Well worth a read if you have a week or two and have an interest in our shared history.
I was a few chapters away from finishing this tome and decided to spend eight quid on the television series. I can say that the book is much richer in content and the acting in the book a helluva lot better than the TV series of the same name even though the author was the consultant on the series.
This book is a real page-turner and I found it difficult to put down. Ken Follet's way of bringing the characters and their stories to life grabs you in a neck hold and does not let you go.
I Love this book and would love a third in the Kingsbridge series.
The ending of this book is quite spectacular and what mark says in it has also made me feel βAlive, Very Aliveβ.
We never know what the future holds and most of our time is being squandered on chasing more money, worrying about insignificant problems and giving a fuck about things that in all reality we should not.
Well I for sure give a fuck about this book and you should too. Yes the start of this book is very potty mouthed but I think it needs to be.
Do read it pilgrim.
I suppose it was ok as a classic, found it quite surreal at times especially The Metamorphosis. Yet that was the best out the lot and at least it had a happy ending.
I for one won't be rushing back to read this book.
