Ken Follett's Century Trilogy (ns)
I just finished the first one, Fall of Giants, about 30 seconds ago and LOVED IT!!!! I mean, I was just totally engrossed and even though it was 1,000 pages, I wanted it to keep going! So looking forward to the second.
Has anyone else read these? What did you think?

I agree with packfan that the third book was not as amazing as the first two, which is not to say that it was bad at all. I think pretty much anything Ken Follett does is amazing, and this series is among my favorite ever. The last book was set in the 1960s-80s, if I recall correctly, so I think the fact that it was relatively recent history maybe made me more critical.
ETA: I just went back and looked at my GR review for the third book, and I gave it only 4 stars and said that the family interactions felt forced after three generations, but he did a good job of hitting all the historical highpoints.
