I finished A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett Summary & Study Guide and honestly felt like I'd spent a week living in someone else's head, for better and worse. BookRags writes a woman cleaning out her late aunt's apartment, and the scene where she finds a drawer full of unopened birthday cards addressed to her, every year, is so quietly devastating I had to go make tea. The middle gets repetitive, with box after box and memory after memory. Who this is for: readers who like slow, reflective grief stories. Who should pass: anybody who needs a plot to keep moving.

I just finished reading the book about the Internet and wanted a light read. The problem with Follett is he writes characters who are so bad that the story becomes pretty predictable. I did get through this one, but never made it through the Pillars of the Earth.

Typical Follet structure, more intriguing historical backgorund of banking collapse and quite interesting villainsr, disappointing romantic climax imo
