Powieści Kena Folletta trudno nazwać literaturą, która zwala z nóg. Łatwiej nazwać je solidnymi pozycjami, sprawnie przygotowanymi, i choć może bohaterowie z reguły nie są aż tak dobrze przedstawionymi postaciami, jakbyśmy chcieli, to jednak lektura sprawia dużo przyjemności. Nie ma efektu “wow”, a ...

I enjoyed this book, although not as much as the first one, Fall of Giants. The characters in this book are the children of the characters from book 1. It takes place during World War II.

I received this book as a giveaway from Goodreads. Thanks, goodreads! The book is an epic telling of the period during World War I through characters from different families from different countries. the characters are intertwined incredibly well. Their lives are affected by each other and the wa...

Entertaining "epic" revolving around the building of a cathedral. Interesting characters, but the unwieldy scope of the story dilutes its power.
A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
I have read 2 books from this author and both times had trouble getting into the stories. I think he builds an interesting tale but I just cannot form a connection, much to my regret.

Se si vuole passare qualche ora con una lettura che ti estranei completamente dalla realtà, Triplo (e in generale Follett) è l'ideale. C'è la storia, la politica,agenti segreti, agenti doppiogiochisti, semplici pedine manipolate a loro insaputa, una storia d'amore, e una bella caratterizzazione dei ...

The last book of the Century Trilogy is not a let down. It also isn't the grand magnificent closure I was perhaps hoping it to be.I was thrilled to see that many of the characters introduced in the first book were still alive (and somehow kicking) in this book, since somehow these were still the mos...

Yes, but Kindle. One of those books I like after only a few pages.

Akcja ostatniego epizodu trylogii Stulecie rozpoczyna się w Berlinie, w przeddzień wybudowania muru dzielącego część wschodnią od zachodniej. Bohaterami autor uczynił potomstwo postaci znanych z “Zimy świata”, jednak tradycyjnie już dla tego cyklu główne postaci ustępują pola czasom, w którym przysz...
