" This was the book that schooled me on the fact that I really prefer the full and not abridged version of books, especially Follett titles. And although Richard Grant is a fine narrator, I'd already had the pleasure of listening to another title by the same author with a different narrator (John Lee) who I liked so much it was tough for anyone to follow. As with all Follett's books, each character was unique and developed, and the stories wove in and out of each other's sphere's and historical events. It was entirely absorbing, but I could sense the lack of elucidation, which was due to the abridged versus full version. Live & learn and read more Follett! "
