Walking the line between history and fiction, this one comes a little too close to crossing over. Still always fascinating. I think the longest book I've ever read, I finished it in a week of vacation.

"It was high summer and sweltering hot in Bucharest on 7 July. Dimka and Natalya were there with
Gorbachev for a Warsaw Pact summit. Their host was Nicolae Ceauşescu, the mad dictator of
Romania."
It was hard not to giggle upon reading this.

1200 e passa pagine.
Sono contenta di aver finito questo libro. Molti capitoli li ho letti abbastanza velocemente.
Mi sembra che questo terzo volume non sia all'altezza dei precedenti. Pochi i personaggi memorabili, poco interessanti le loro vicende. Mi sono commossa alla caduta del Muro, ma quello mi succede sempre.
Non credo leggerò più niente di Ken Follett.

Another fantastic book from Follett and a great ending to his century trilogy. A great trilogy that involves many of the defining moments of the Century, from WW1 to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Edge of Eternity wraps up the story and brings closure to beloved characters. Great read

This series is excellent. The characters throughout are so thoroughly developed that i found it very easy to pick the book up any time and dive right in. No need to flip back a few pages to see where I was, even after a short break. And really, the breaks only occurred because of real life obligations. Each book in the series is over 1000 pages after all. I've learned (or re-learned) so much about the history of WW 1, WW2 and now the Cold War thanks to the Century Trilogy. Highly recommended!
