Title: ONE OF FOLLETT'S LESSER NOVELS
Review: I'm a big fan of Follett's works so I was surprised that this turned out to be one of his lesser materials. The idea is interesting enough and the opening scene holds promise but I found it to be a lackluster presentation and after about 80 pages or so I gave up on the novel. It felt like a dumbed down novel in characters and plot demonstrations. Hard to go into more details without giving spoilers. If you want to see Follet at his height read PILLARS OF THE EARTH or THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE or THE KEY TO REBECCA. WHEN READ: November 2011; MY GRADE: C plus.
