pontalba Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 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. Quote
muggle not Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I have the Irish series on the shelf, and NY. Hope I get to them sometime in the next year or two. Maybe "after" you read some James Lee Burke. Quote
pontalba Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Maybe "after" you read some James Lee Burke. Burke is certainly above Rutherford on the list. Quote
geordie9 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 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. Quote
Anna Begins Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 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? Quote
geordie9 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 This sounds good- will you do a review or post an opinion, please? Yes i will, im not very good at doing reviews but i will post something, might be a while though as its a big book. Quote
Spud Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 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. Quote
timebug Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I loved 'Sarum' as we had recently holidayed in the area when I read it! 'London' was a good read too, but I was let down by 'Russka' and 'Dublin' (was it called 'Dublin'?) Quote
paulh2oman Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 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. Quote
Henryd Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Is there any news on his next book? I see he is working on 'another big project' according to his official site but does anybody know any further details? Quote
ksyfullah07 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 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... Quote
