Ken Follett is an amazing author. I admire him and love all of his work. Every novel I have read by this man, from Pillars of the Earth to the trilogy, has had a profound impact on me. I can’t put any of his books down but at the same time I don’t want them to end. As I write this review, I hope he is hard at work on another novel that is both educational and a compelling story of the human condition.

Long, but worth the time to read and enjoy every page. So rich in detail you feel like you are watching it unfold in your head. Loved and read all of the books in the Kingsbridge series (5 of them. Ken Follett is my favorite author.

Well I purchased and read the long awaited finish to the trilogy which began with Pillars of the Earth. All I can add to my subject above is that it is well written, as expected. However possibly it is hard to accept once you’ve read POTENTIAL. As you can imagine it is a saga in itself as the other two are. For me this item lacked the necessary action you’d expect from the era and local characters . The pretense of cross Channel marriage set a wonderful opportunity for skirmishes and battles. Well they just didn’t appear, instead we had more sex. Possibly Mr. Follett has gotten old and tired.

This book humanely captures a period of British Isles history that is often overlooked due to lack of information. Satisfying read.
