Third and last title in the Century Trilogy series

I can remember reading books by this author back when he was a good writer, before he got obsessed with sex. This book hits a lot of big historical events but, it seems, the point of every big event (except the assassinations of John and…

Ken Follett is a great storyteller who makes a fiction story based on fact that keeps you wanting more. A terrific read.

I read this book to fulfill the goal to read a book with a three word title. I have really enjoyed this series. I really liked how the three books covered many years. I would like to see a fourth one with some of the things going on the…

This volume becomes totally inaccurate and seems to be more of a cheerleading effort at the political system that the author prefers. I realize it is fiction, but don't make things up and change events to fit your narrative.

I enjoyed this book which continues where the second book in the trilogy left off. The fictional characters are the children of the second book's characters - Dave and Evie, Rebecca and Walli, Tanya and Dimka, Cam and Beep and Jasper and…

The first book in "The Century Trilogy" was great. The second as pretty good. This one, Edge of Eternity" was really a lecture on how liberal elite is creating a better world for the rest of the world --even it's not really how it turned…

Outsized emphasis on sex (too descriptive), liked the book overall however as it completes the series does, characters, events in Russia interested me more than characters in London for instance. Worth reading - if you have a lot of time…

A sleazy, one-sided bore. George Wallace & Bull Connor are never ID's as democrats. Goldwater is an extremist, racist lumped in with Wallace among those responsible for murdering Martin Luther King. Reagan lumped in with Wallace…

More horn doggerel from an old degenerate--soft porn at best. He seems to have gotten hornier with each volume of the trilogy, and I'm sure he's worn all the hair off of his writing hand! Follett is a hard-wired liberal; his liberal…

I would have to read at least 175 Pages or more ALL in one place at the start, and THEN, at a later time from the time I start reading, that's how much I had to read at least in ONE 24 HOUR PERIOD. That's to avoid overdues, and renewals.

Follet's excessive emphasis on sex depreciates the honor and unselfish efforts of the many who fought against the injustices prevailing in societies. The concurrent action of the civil rights movement and the resistance to communist…

This is the third Book in the trilogy. The first book about the First world war was an education. It set the stage for several families in Britain, Russia, and the USA. The second book about the second world war upset me. It was as if…

I loved this series, and its been a while since I've slogged through massive books with such enthusiasm. The depth into which Follett delves into history and creates a complex, engaging, and sophisticated backstory is admirable. My…

I loved the book, answered all my questions as to what happened after the last book ended. A great look into the life of people on the "other side" of the Berlin Wall! Great read.

I am an avid reader and have read most of Mr. Folletts' books and I can say that this is an unbelievably fantastic story, with the research that has put this author on the forefront and given him the recognition he so richly deserves (I'm…

While the size of the tome was intimidating, once I started reading it was hard to put down. It covers some of the major events of my lifetime and gives them a context I was unaware of, simply because of my age, or because I didn't…

This book is in my estimation the best book of the trilogy. I'm about 200 pages in and it just keeps getting better and better. Follett delivers!

I have been a fan of Mr Follett; however this book was so disappointing. just a historical narrative, scattered with fictional characters. After a while I merely skimmed through it.

This book is now a two week loan, so you will need to be able to read 1100 pages in that time!

The only good thing about this book is that it is the last one. Reading it was like rubber-necking an accident--you know it is stupid and useless and yet you cannot help yourself. Lets face it, Follett is a terrible writer--his…

This is the final book in his “century trilogy” and I enjoyed it. I just gobble up Ken Follet books… the first half of the book was definitely more gripping than the last half tho. Looking back over the series, I think he told a very…

Maybe because I am in my mid-60's and actually remember ALL of this book, I found this fascinating! As always, some of the little-known or long-forgotten details of history make their way into the Ken Follett stories-I thought my opinion…

I was a little disappointed with this last book of the trilogy. it was tedious to read and didn't hold my attention, lingering too much on the Bay of Pigs era, way too much detail to this. I actually skimmed through the book as I found…
