Too much vulgarity, not enough history

The description led me to believe the book was more of a historical novel but only about an hour in I was already disgusted with the author's need to write about illicit sex in a way that, in my opinion, added absolutely nothing to the storyline. Conversely if written about in far less detail it would have added far more interest to the characters.

Disappointed that I wasted the time and the credit on this book.

Looking for historical fiction I spent a credit on this Follett novel. After the third sleezy sex scene when only a short way into the book I removed it from my library and feel cheated of the credit. Pure junk! So if you're looking for quality historical fiction, don't waste your money on Follett's writing. Sad!!!

this book was a rich story that was very believable. The characters were well-developed, and the descriptions never became tedious. The narrator was excellent. Hoping to find more from this author and narrator.

I was totally disappointed. The authors inability to weave together the facets of the story made this book a drudgery to finish.

was a great story with strong character development. But the end was too ethereal and did not complete the story very well. the narration was excellent!

The story and characters were very well developed. Plot was fascinating and held my interest throughout. Narrator was outstanding. The only issue I had was with the excessive profanity. It just became annoying and tiresome.

I really tried to stick with this book because I listened to Cold Shot first and really liked the story and narrator. But this narrator had me pounding the steering wheel and yelling "Stop reading like you're giving an oral report in FOURTH GRADE."

I thought it might get better - it didn't. I thought I could get used to it - I couldn't. So now I'm frustrated that I wasted my time and a book credit. UGH
