Why read it?

1 author picked Fall of Giants as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love historical fiction, and this is a historical novel about a family throughout the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. It kept me guessing what the next pitfall would be that the family would have to overcome.

There are members of this family who I hoped would win and others who I knew would fail because they were not good people.  All of his novels are good reads; this one is very compelling.
