Ken Follet I already knew because I read this summer The Pillars of the Earth I enjoyed not only for the sleek and nice of the author but also for the fact that he able to transcribe with accuracy and finesse relationships between the characters and their behaviors. I wanted to continue to discover his work. The network seemed to indicate Cornelius for several reasons. It was not too long so perfect between two readings. However, it is primarily the historical context of the Second World War who had everything to please me.
I was immediately taken in history (It also works with a capital H). The author has managed to keep me in suspense from beginning to end, yet it was not a foregone conclusion since it was a policeman. However, the risk of repeating myself, I have little affinity with the genre. Although, this year I decided to find out a bit more. The mission has set Clairet Betty is not only exciting but also full of surprises, joy and tears. Two items really liked me. First, the countdown, day after day, until the landing adds additional tension to the success of the mission of sabotage. It an ultimatum. Furthermore, I also liked the alternating viewpoints between the Resistance and the Gestapo. It is very interesting as a literary device allowing us to follow what happens in the two "camps". Some situations ensuing misunderstandings that give me the most worried.
level characters, I am much attached to women's Jackdaws, with the exception of Diana and Maude. I found him unconscious and selfish but when they add even more to the story. Those are my favorite Betty Claret, of course, for the strength of his character, his courage. The author aptly describes his feelings and his various relationships. Greta is a character that I totally loved it. It made me laugh, cry, ... This is one of the most interesting characters in this novel. Rubi I also liked.
Finally, I close this cop totally enchanted. All aspects of the novel charmed me: the writing style, background and characters. I recommend it and it is truly a favorite.
