Amazing read (twice) but I cannot give a 5 with the gratuitous and constant violence and sexual assault of women and the overt ways all male characters describe women.

Wow what a great story!  I loved the setting and characters, their growth as well as how Follett kept you hanging on wanting to know more!  There were definitely a lot of violent scenes (lots of killing and descriptions of that which I don't mind so much because it is true to the historical facts but also lots of sexual assault scenes as well as being in the head of the scum committing those.  I did lots of skipping over those as well as skipping a few lines when we were in the scum's head when he started thinking of the next victim.)  There were also a lot of sexual situations and being in the head of a couple main character's heads which I didn't care to read either so skipped over that.  You still get the gist of what's going on without having to read that.  Highly recommend this book IF you are willing to do the "skip method".
