average, not his best - but worth a read
richly developed characters, but not the author's best. The Pillars of the Earth, Eye of the Needle, and Dangerous Fortune stand out as by far his best. Jackdaws is interesting, but not nearly the suspense, drama or richly developed characters of Follett's best... worth a read in my opinion.

Truly a book you can't set down..
This was a great book, I enjoyed it a lot, there are some books I can read in the train, and just continue it day after day, and there are books like these, where I just have to finish it, and once I do, just wish there was more.. Very interesting, described vivid images.. loved it..

Fantastic Modern Epic
My English teacher read this book to our class while we read Homer's Odyssey to contrast the modern epic to the classic epic. I must say that Craver's epic is much more gripping than that of Homer and provides a fantastic story for any sports or literature lover. It managed to capture my attention just after hearing the first few sentences. The cover doesn't do this book justice either, so don't ...

A Feat--and a Feast
Ken Follet achieves the nearly impossible task of creating genuine suspense about an event that is well-known, using fresh characters, clever plotting, and surprising twists on an old story. You will enjoy this book on a long plane flight, or just sitting out on your porch during the lazy days of summer. I always enjoy Ken Follet's approach to history--crackerjack pacing, strong dialogue, and a ...

Curriculum especially good for homeschoolers!!
From the back cover: "Jackdaws are a species of European crow. One of their favorite tricks is taking and hiding small bright objects. Each of the books in the Jackdaws series uses engaging activities with the same purpose in mind--to provide children, as they interact with literature, with a special insight or a nugget (memento) they can take and store as a jackdaw does its treasures."
