I never thought I’d say this about one of Ken Follet’s books but I’ve put down The Circle of Days and will not finish it. I’ve read all his books and loved them all almost equally but this one is dreadfully boring. I wish there was a redeeming feature to this novel but if there is I can’t even find it; however, I’m sure this book required lots of research on the author’s part and for that I congratulate him. But the novel itself, its storyline and its characters are all very boring according to me. So so disappointing from an author whose novels I’ve always appreciated so very much.
