Anyone who has rad this blog from the beginning may remember me talking bout my '50 page rule'. That is the one where if I am not into a book by page 50, I stop reading it.
Well, I am returning my latest endeavor to the library. "Fall of Giants". Having made it to page 386 out of more than 1,000, I am done. Why so long? Well, it is not that it isn't interesting, it is just that it is not compelling enough to continue.
World War I has started. Finally. I already know how that turns out. As for the characters, I have only found one that catches my interest and she has little of a role in the story at this point.
If I wanted to know all about the political and war strategies, I would read a good non-fiction book on the subject. If I want to read about the Russians, I'll read Tolstoy.
The next book in the series is supposed to deal with World War II. With the same characters, I can probably pick it up and not miss a thing.
While the novel has received fairly good reviews, I will set it aside and move on. It's already way past my rule.
