4.0 out of 5 stars One of Follets' best, 20 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Man from St. Petersburg (Paperback)
Another great book from Ken follet. Out of all his books I would rank this one behind Pillars of the Earth (best book of all time by far)and Eye of the Needle. Extremely plausible novel, very realistic characters, and you simply can't put it down. Finished it in under 2 days

4.0 out of 5 stars Same old Follett, 16 Mar 2004
By P. Marsden (Streatham, Lambeth United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Man from St. Petersburg (Paperback)
I may be guilty of pedantry here but the Russian in question is an anarchist and not a communist. That said Ken Follett is at his best, taking a historical event and giving it a ficticious twist, and yes, as with his other novels, you do tend to want the bad guy to win.

If you're a first time Follet reader I would recommend 'Eye of the Needle', 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'Code to Zero' over this one, but if you've read those then this one will not let you down. Well, not by much.
