Ken Follett should not be allowed to continue writing. Two stars only because it was an easy read but, oh God, the man has a genius for stale, one-dimensional characters and predictable plots. It takes place during the plague and never once did I feel the terror of the situation. The deaths only happened to those that the story didn't really rely on and I honestly did not care once. Also, sexing up the middle ages should be a crime. Was there sex? Yes. Do we need a description of every one of the women's boobs and lots of inconsequential sex scenes? Aw heck no. Follett, please stop.
