Book Review 1

Over the last year or so I have read a great deal of books and I thought I would share some of my favourites with you. Just to say first of all that I have a reputation to enjoy almost any kind of reading. One person I met recently said that it is never a waste of time reading. I tend to agree and really wish that people would read a lot more than they do.So here I go. My first books are a set of three by Ken Follett. The Fall of Giants, Winter of the World and Edge of Eternity.They follow the fortunes of four sets of people. The William family a coal mining family, the Fitzherberts the aristocratic family who run the coal mine, a German spy Walter Von Ulrich, a ambitious young aide to the American government Wilson and two Russian brothers. The books take us on a journey through 20th century and its major events and what happens to these families and those who are associated with them. It is a great read, although you have to invest a lot of time into them as they are about 900 page
