By Ken Follett Winter of the world is book two of the century trilogy and my favorite book so far. It is also another big novel by this author at 900+ pages but one I could not put down. I completed this in two weeks. I probably liked this best because I enjoy this piece… Continue reading Book Review: Winter Of The World

Book Review: QB VII
By – Leon Uris I read this book years ago, and it was probably 1987. My mother gave it to me for Christmas. She usually gave me a book or two for Christmas, which is perhaps why I like to read. I did recall how good the book was, but the details I had forgotten… Continue reading Book Review: QB VII
Book Review: Fall of Giants
By Ken Follett The Fall of Giants is book one of the century Trilogy; it was also another large novel by this writer, 900+ pages. I have completed the Kingsbridge series and decided to take on another group of books by this author. The Kingsbridge series was so good, and the first book in this… Continue reading Book Review: Fall of Giants
Book Review: A Column of Fire By Ken Follett
I finally completed this last book in the set; it was another monster novel, 916 pages. This book took me longer than usual; it was a bit of a strange read. I started it twice; I could not get into the story. The first time, I stopped at page 50. After a couple of weeks,… Continue reading Book Review: A Column of Fire By Ken Follett
Book Report? Well almost
I started the last book of the four, A Column on Fire, by Ken Follett, and unlike the others, it was a relatively slow start. I could not get into the story. After two weeks, I can usually knock out the 900+ pages but not this time. It could have a bit to do with… Continue reading Book Report? Well almost
Book Review : World Without End: Ken Follett
Book three is complete, and it was another considerable novel, 1000+ pages. This book was a bit different from the first two in how it started but overall followed the same storytelling type. The first two novels began a bit more quickly and got right into the action. This book started with a bit more… Continue reading Book Review : World Without End: Ken Follett
Book Review: The Evening and the Morning: Ken Follett
This book is the prequel to The Pillars of the Earth, and you can see my review of that book here. https://beingkevin.com/2020/12/05/the-pillars-of-the-earth-by-ken-follett/ The first book was excellent, and I can't believe this, but I think this book might be better. Again this was also a massive novel, 915 pages. Like the first novel, there were… Continue reading Book Review: The Evening and the Morning: Ken Follett
Book Review: The Pillars Of The Earth: Ken Follett
I'm not a full-time blogger; I do this as a hobby. Several months ago, I thought it would be a good idea to tie my other hobby, reading, to my blogging hobby. I can usually read a book of 300- 500 pages in a week, two tops, which would allow me to do a weekly… Continue reading Book Review: The Pillars Of The Earth: Ken Follett
Book Review: Churchill Walking With Destiny
By: Andrew Roberts Churchill is an excellent read; it does require a bit of patience to stay with it, but once you get about 50-75 pages in, the book is very entertaining and tells the story of a truly remarkable man. The early part of the book deals with the family dynamic and struggles between… Continue reading Book Review: Churchill Walking With Destiny
