Ken Follett has been churning out spy thrillers for years that never made it to the big leagues. His spy thrillers are largely set in the World War II era and those who prefer this type of fiction will definitely enjoy his work. Those who have other interests would like to read other things written by him after he expanded his horizons and began writing The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End (the latest title is Falling Giants, which will be released soon). .

Gradually evolving into Ken Follett

Ken Follett wrote A Dangerous Fortune in 1993 (set in Victorian England), which had all the makings of an engaging novel that included intrigue and mystery. The next novel came out in 1995, titled A Place Called Freedom; this was set in both the British Isles and the United States at the time it was a British colony. The title that came out two years later was even better, though those who have read his books before and after this period say the books mentioned above may be shelved for a while if readers have something else to do. Other Ken Follett books, including Pillars of the Earth and World Without End (probably Fall of Giants as well), cannot be put down for a moment, despite their sheer volume.

Pillars is long and interesting

There are times when the length of the book also puts off the reader. The Pillars of the Earth is also very long and those who are not interested in architecture will think twice before starting to read. The story of The Pillars of the Earth begins with a hanging and ends with another. The first hanging will not be clear to readers if they are not aware of the shipwreck. Once again, it’s the first hanging that sets the tone for what happens next in the story (a very long but interesting story).

True events sprinkled everywhere

Another royal event that has been mentioned in the story is the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket, which has a major influence on the final hanging at the book’s climax. Readers may need to find some time apart to read the book, and you’ll be happy when you’re done reading it. It would be unwise for us not to reveal the key elements, such as who is good, who is bad, who is cruelly treated by fate, and who gets dessert right at the end. After quite some time, eighteen years in fact, Ken Follett finally wrote World Without End, which was a follow-up to The Pillars of the Earth, and it was almost as good as the previous book.
