Here is an update to what I am currently reading! Â
I am reading a behemoth of a book right now! And I am only on page 237 of over 1000 pages! Â It is Ken Follett's first novel of the Century Trilogy, Fall of Giants.
I am a big Ken Follett fan. Â Pillars of the Earth is one of my favorite novels of all time. Â That novel is also a historical work, but it's set in Middle Ages England. Â Follett does an amazing job with character development. Â He can keep the reader's attention despite the storyline following multiple characters. Â FoG is similarly written in that there are interweaving storylines with lots of characters! Â I mean lots! Â If you don't like books with multiple perspectives, then this might not be your cup of tea.
The story begins with a storyline from a little Welch boy's perspective. Â Europe is on the brink of the first World War. Â I am already seeing themes of love, deception, and power come in to play--something that Follett is known for in his writing. Â I am curious to see how the story plays out!
Check back next week to see what else I am writing!
