creo que el libro no se merece tan baja puntuación, no es malo
el error lo he cometido yo al leerme un libro en el que la trama habla de cosas que no me generan el más mínimo interés, y lo sabía, pero no soy capaz de decir que no a un libro de Ken Follett
me he aburrido muchísimo leyendo esto, pero no creo que sea un mal libro

This is a short, early novel of Follett's. It follows a whole cast of characters belonging to distinct groups: the journalists, the gangsters, the high finance and brokers. The story is told over the course of a working day, which gives the book a fast pace. The plot is interwoven and intricate.

The characters were too many for such a short book, and I had a clear picture of almost none of them. The plot is promising, but never seems to build to a climax. It is, like all Folletts books, immensely readable and.

Un Ken Follett abbastanza inutile. Molto acerbo, personaggi che si dimenticano dopo due giorni dalla fine della lettura, e la trama pure.

Follett before he became THE Follett. Not a badly written book, but he‘s written so many great ones, and this does not live up to expectations. It‘s a short read for a Follett. Set during one day in London. A businessman, minister and journalist have something in common. Read the book to find out more
