Great book. Moves well and keeps you excited. The story challenges your intellect, but is fun to read.
The Man From ST. Petersburg

By SPBerko
I have read almost all of Ken Follett’s novels and thoroughly enjoyed them. This is the worst, very amateurish and not worth the time.
Ok plot, weak characters and ending

I honestly knew it wasn’t going to be a good book from the first few pages. The characters are poorly built, the dialogues are pretty absurd and the plot, which is OK, was wrapped up in a very simplistic way. Very unfortunate
As expected

Follett never disappoints me.
Fictional History of the Origins of WWI

A continually interesting page-turner, this novel explores the origins of WWI from the Russian and English points of view.
Providing an accurate portrait of class relations in England, a fatal love triangle propels a family drama that continues to surprise and intrigue as it moves towards a fiery conclusion. Very satisfying.

Good book. First Follett book I read.
Disappointing

After reading the Follett books chronologically up to this one, this one was a major letdown. Follett roundly bashed the Brits and elevated the Anarchists. Charlotte and Lydia lived happily ever after in spite of their complicity in Alex's assassination. This was a strange ending, it makes one wonder if Follette was drinking what Lydia was addicted to...
Page -turner!
