    Story
    (2588)

    Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, Welsh - enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion.

    Dave says: "Great book but DON'T BUY - AUDIBLE VERSION SKIPS"
    "Unforgetable"

    What made the experience of listening to Winter of the World the most enjoyable?

    Well rounded, detailed plots and characters.


    What other book might you compare Winter of the World to and why?

    None.


    Would you be willing to try another one of John Lee’s performances?

    Not really.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It angered me, the cruelty and inhumanity of the people in power infuriated me.


    Any additional comments?

    Looking forward to the 3rd book, as i want to know what happens to the characters.

    Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

    Would you listen to Fall of Giants again? Why?

    No. in the narration the accents relay put me off, especially the woman's speech,they sounded so insipid.and the Germans sounded Russian.i would rather read the book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The detailed history and telling it from the different prospective.


    How could the performance have been better?

    Don't do accents.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I could not get the characters out of my head.
