Edge of Eternity: Book Three of The Century Trilogy (Hardcover)

Customer Review

For the last sequel of the trilogy my expectations were high as I much enjoyed reading part one and two.
I have read the last book with diminishing pleasure, and Increasing disappointment. I finished the book having the feeling did Follett was surprised after JFK's assassination did he already have used of the available pages. From then on he hit the "Turbo Boost button" and accelerated through the seventies in order to come to catch the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1986th

Reagan, Gorbachev. Bush Sr., and Lech Walesa were squeezed in without any depth or connection to the characters Carefully build and nurtured. The final of the book which in my opinion a disaster. Follett Should have stopped at the Fall of the Berlin Wall, he chose instead to borrow Doc's DeLorean to go from Berlin in 1986 to Obama's 2005 inauguration ... As a result Both epic events in our recent history were Described in a cheap and shallow way , Truly unworthy of Follett.
