looks like a book written in the '00s

Revisado: 05-13-24

I generally enjoy Ken's books very much. That was not the case. I read half of it until I couldn't take it any longer.

It seemed to be written by a feminist democrat lady of the 00s! it's absurdly outdated.
From the world that is described, to issues (racism on social media, USA as a international leader dealing with a sensate Chinese governament...).
It even includes reasonable journalism, outdated (and insane) republican party positions and, as the final absurdity, the moderate democratic party of the Clinton's era, not the present woke, no borders, extreme left version.

I wonder if it was written by a woman. The way men are described, the type of internal discussions and the amount of strong, independent women seems to me a one sided view of society.

It was a huge disappointment.

time travel interesting plot

Revisado: 03-15-24

the problem with his story is that sometimes the logic is not really enforced at its best.
at so many points aon the story you can find solutions that would make more sense.
The whole business idea of ITC is at best, laughable.
I have read the story before and I thought it was better, maybe because I got more experience in my life. I found there are many hoes in this plot.
It is still worthwhile reading.

worst of the middle falls time travel

Revisado: 01-30-23

I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others.
it was a bit sadder and lacked the characters being a bit smarter.
It was a bit dumber than the other books in the series and lacked a bit more creativity.

worst Mitch Rapp book

Revisado: 01-02-23

I can't properly explain but maybe it's the complicated plot, or my humor, or the unusual style...
still, it felt like a different taste... not horrible, but definitely, not the usual story we have been accustomed to.

Great, but a little too different for my taste.

Revisado: 12-05-22

this has become a bit too 007 type of story with those end of the world narratives.
it went way beyond the scope of the typical rapp's story and was a bit exaggerated

romantic but not practical time travel storyline

Revisado: 03-01-22

I love time travel stories and mildly enjoyed the book.
Romantic, bordered silly, at times, when the most basic plans were not done; to stay in one single example, the question of time traveling with money was never raised.
A few times it looked more like a soap opera, with lack of rationality and cliche storyline where the beauty and innocent meets the gentle but slightly wild well mannered and successful male man ... Jesus....
This is a book for people looking for an interesting romance story not sci-fi lovers nor pragmatic readers

just wanted a good time travel story but...

Revisado: 11-21-21

... this was a constant drama.
basically the plot details the suffering and struggling of a cursed woman while she lives through the centuries.
it was a constant torment and I had no pleasure reading the 6 or 7 chapters i forced myself to.

Great idea but too much drama

Revisado: 11-17-21

although the subject and idea for this book is an interesting concept, the main character seems to be troubled all the time, unable to find contentment or happiness.
it's too much, exaggerated and enerving at times.

Enjoyable and different, but not hugely creative.

Revisado: 03-12-17

Although it is a new way of discovering things, explaining the facts and a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy, it's told through a very much woman's lens, sounding, once in a while, too romantic, too biased towards a female point of view. On the other hand this is also its strength, showing a peculiar way of thinking.

As always, Ken Follet keeps you totally absorbed

Revisado: 05-25-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For people who like long books and complex plots, as well as a great history background, this is the one! Involving, interesting characters, most well explained historic events, makes you feel like time travel while participating in the lives of the different families, throughout Europe.

Any additional comments?

Just waiting for the third volume!
