A review by hiltzmoore
Winter of the World by Ken Follett

4.0

I was torn between 4 and 5 on the rating here, and it was very close to a 5. I loved how much this book taught me about WWII and its immediate aftermath, and I couldn't believe how little I knew about this time in history, even though it is one of my favorite eras of historical fiction books. The spy network was particularly interesting. I think the characters were just slightly less interesting than Fall of Giants, and convenience/timing of the Pearl Harbor section of the story was a little irksome. I do think this book will stay with me for quite a while. I'm always impressed with how real Follett makes history feel for the reader.
