 On par with Pillars March 14, 2008
Loved this book. Ken did such a good job with Pillars, that I was really looking forward to getting into another of his Epic tales.
I was dissapointed when I realised I was getting close to the end of this one. I could have read about these characters forever !!!
Seriously though, I suggest you have a read of this. And... if you havent read Ken before, you should also check out The Pillars of the Earth.
Well done Ken... give us another !!!
Quality book! March 5, 2008
Great storyline to aother excellent Follett novel. I'd just finished Pillars for the umpteenth time, and grabbed this off of e-bay. A really good tale of greed, love, corruption and tragedy.
Dont be put off by the "banking" line-this is a ripping novel that will keep you more than captured for a few days!
Marvellous.....!!
 I'm fine where I am thanks all the same January 12, 2008

I think I 'd enjoy this book a whole lot more if both the heroes and villains weren't snoobby social climbers. I mean, who am I supposed to cheer for? Sorry, for whom am I supposed to cheer. Stuck-up gets!
Brilliant January 11, 2008

An excellent story, yet again by Ken Follett, who so far in my reading history, has dipped into completely different periods of time, leading to fascinating and captivating stories, characterised by well-thought out scenes and characters with depth.
However I had some difficutly with this one - it was not clear until about page 100 who the story was about. I found the number of lead characters confusing - partially because I did not know which relationships I should be taking note of, and therefore had trouble understanding the direction it was going in.
That the main character (Hugh), is also downplayed some of the time, whilst being shown sympathetically other times, meant that I simply didn't grasp the fact that the story is his. The initial chapter could have been better placed by calling it a prologue or something similar.
For Follett fans - you are guarenteed to like this!
