Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

Wow!  A very long book that is very well written.  I really enjoy his writing and he is so good at totally submersing you in the story.  Starting in 1911 and finishing up in 1924 he follows five families with their struggles and triumphs during this difficult time.  There is war, hunger, love, coming of age and the frustrating truths of how the world works.  Reading about these times, people from different classes and upbringings, it all comes back to the human race and how we choose to work with or against other humans.  A wonderful novel in which I am looking forward to the next installment to see how things progress.  Just amazing writing!
