Title: Not that it is all cracked up to be
Product review: I have to admit, this is my first Ken Follett reading. I was not thrilled. Almost put it down to stop but decided I wasn't going to waste my hard earned money by blowing it off. I think teh recent attention is overblown, I can NOT believe it is on Oprah's bok club list. The story line is a little weak, predictable. Good and bad cahracters all too familiar, nothing stood out as great by any means! The historical content is interesting. I usually rip through a book that I enjoy, done in a couple nights. Here i am 4 weeks alter, still struggling to finish it, almost done, but I am cheating. When I get to a drawn out fight scene, I skip the two or three pages, to the end of the fight and pick up there. I just want to know how it ends and have a feeling it will be predictable, cheesy. Whatever. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
