My gosh,I just can’t put it down, all 596 pages of it. I’ve read eleven of his books including this one.
It’s Ken Follett. Same thing happened to me when I first read Pillars of the Earth and the succeeding book on the series. 
I really can’t review it any better. All the ingredients of a powerful plot are here – greed, lust, power, ambitions. Yes, it is a typical Follett book that grips you from beginning to end. He really knows how to tell a story. And since it involved bank collapse, I was even more interested. I remember those days I worked for more than twenty years at one of the largest banks in the country.
I spent most of the day reading, it’s my seventh book for this year’s challenge. I was trying to look for a movie adaptation but all I’ve seen were trailers of the movie.
