Ebb and flow...
I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. Sometimes Follett's writing is great, other times it's juvenile. Sometimes I want to skip whole chapters because the story is so slow, and other times I can't read fast enough to find out what happens next. This conflict frustrates me and leaves me with ...
