What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Ken follet is a gifted writerand does not disappoint! Another follett page turner. Follett is a master story teller.
The storyline is amazing. Excellent plot interweave. Family conflicts, intrigue, greed & * abound.
Cons

Incredibly unrewarding. The sample rarely informs you of this impending trash!
The writing is sub par and the characters are all such a bunch of cardboard cutouts. The worst of ken follett's work.
