Edward Rutherford

I have read The Princes of Ireland and The Rebels of Ireland by Edward Rutherfurd and thought they were excellent books. I have thinking about reading New York based on some of the reviews but haven't decided yet?

 

I have the Irish series on the shelf, and NY.  Hope I get to them sometime in the next year or two.

I'm reading New York at the moment. Reading his books i learn so much stuff about history while reading a good story with lovable characters.

This sounds good- will you do a review or post an opinion, please?

The only book of Rutherford's that I did not love was New York.  There wasnt as much substance as the other books.  It just didn't feel the same.

 

The only one I haven't read is Russka, think that will be my next read.

London sounds a lot like Chesapeake by James A Michener. I love multigeneration novels. Absolutely agree with Kiwi about love/hate relationship with characters from each generation. I feel sad when beloved characters pass away and hope the next generation turns out well.

 

The Kent Family Chronicles is similar.

London by Edward Rutherfurd is agreathistorical fiction book with almost 1300 pages...(Thats Big!!!)

It took almost 4 months to complete the book but that was a great reading.

A good reader can complete the book in 1.5 months(I need too muh because I read it on my real leisure time)

Recommended for everyone who wants to know the LONDON in depth...
