Never

China. Just because you’ve enjoyed reading Ken Follett’s historical fiction, it doesn’t mean you’ll like his take on contemporary global affairs in his eight-hundred-page novel titled, Never. The plot mix involves Islamic terrorists, North Korean misbehavior, and escalating tension between the United States and China. While the plot is thrilling and will engage most readers, the characters are rarely complex and the size of the novel means spending a lot of reading time with shallow individuals. Readers who like a thrilling plot and are patient with incomplete character development are those most likely to enjoy this novel.
